Shaan is a well-known singer in the Indian music space with several hits over decades. Even though he has achieved a lot in his professional life, the singer has one complaint. Shaan expressed his disappointment when he and some of his other colleagues are referred to as ‘90s singers’ while actors are not given a similar label.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Shaan said that he is irritated when his people say that his new songs are giving a 90s vibe. He expressed, “It’s wrong to put singers in a dated bracket. When you tell singers that their voice has a 90s’ melody, it is wrong. It’s a mindset. If Udit (Narayan) ji sings a contemporary song, people will say it has that 90s feel. When Shaan or Sonu (Nigam) sings a new song, people will say it feels so much from the 2000s. But when Shah Rukh Khan does Pathaan, you don’t say it looks like Baazigar or Ram Jaane. But this is a mindset. We get dated, but our heroes never get dated.”
Shaan On End Of Playback Singing
Moreover, Shaan pointed out that the trend of a singer impersonating an actor’s voice no longer exists. “The playback culture has gone,” added Shaan. Part of this is due to the fact that many singers today have no idea whose actor they are recording a song for. “When you are casting for an actor and you know his voice, energy, and style, the effort to get a voice that matches all that has gone out. It was still around when we were there,” Shaan added.
Shaan’s Work Life
The singer is preparing for his live concert in Mumbai on Friday, where he will pay tribute to Kishore Kumar. Forever Kishore Shaan Se is given by Namrata Gupta Khan and Rabbani Mustafa Khan of NR Talent & Event Management, the family of Shaan’s mentor, Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan Sahab. The concert is slated for September 19 at Mumbai’s NMACC.
