EXCLUSIVE: Shaan expresses disappointment over singers trying to sing like Arijit Singh – “He’s fantastic but why the clones?”

Arijit Singh is one of the most loved and most celebrated singers of Bollywood. He has delivered several hits and the fan following of him only rises. Whatever Arijit sings, it becomes a chartbuster and the next moment you hear everyone singing it. Well, that’s the magic that Arijit Singh cast with his songs. However, Shaan feels many singers are trying to sound like Arijit Singh and they need to have their own identity instead of being someone’s clone.

Shaan praises Arijit Singh and his voice

The Chaand Sifarish singer exclusively told Bollywood Bubble, “I think what’s happened in the recent past of course Arijit gets the line share of good songs. Today, I think a certain amount of insecurity in the music industry because the business is big. It’s also about numbers. It’s not as expensive as it used to be, the whole music production business to get in a big name that will guarantee a certain amount of stature to the song. You rather push on that which I think is a little sad because, at the end of the day, there are so many fantastic voices, original voices who have their own style.“

“But whoever is even getting a chance to sing- I have said this before also- is trying to sound like Arijit. I mean he’s doing his thing and he’s fantastic but then why the clones? I mean do your own thing because if they can’t get him at least they’ll get a closer voice. It stems from some kind of insecurity. I feel that people aren’t willing to take a chance, you made a great song, it’s a fantastic setup, get a great voice, and sing it. Let him sing it or her sing it in her own style and space,” the singer concluded.
