Priyanka Chopra looks forward to playback singing

Bollywood actress-turned-singer Priyanka Chopra says she would love to do Hindi playback singing in her own films. Chopra just released her third single, “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” This is her third single as a singer after “In My City” and “Exotic” with Pitbull. PeeCee says the song is inspired by Bonnie Raitt’s classic track of the same name, which released in 1991.

While Raitt’s original was a soft love ballad, Chopra’s cover version is an electronic number fused with fast-paced and pop beats. The video of the song explores moments from a one-sided romantic relationship, which is on the rocks.

As per sources, Priyanka said, “I do plan to do that in my next few films. I would love to do playback singing. All my singles are in English, and I would love to sing in Hindi as well. We are trying to work something out and you will soon hear it. I have always believed in pushing the envelope and trying to do something different.

I never thought I would become a singer, but music is something that I have known even before I came into films. I really loved music and singing. I would often accompany my father when he performed onstage, and he would always dedicate a song to me. I grew up with a lot of music.”

PeeCee further added, “I wanted the third song to be a solo single, and we were deciding on which song we should go with. There were some really great songs, but I felt an instant connect with this song. It’s a special song for me, since it’s a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s ballad that has been done by several great artists in the past.

I remember singing this song when I was a kid. This song was my heartbreak song. This is one of the songs which gives a vibe that I am in pain but I will still survive it.”

Wish you luck and hope to hear you singing for Hindi movies too.
