Indian singers frequently attempt to collaborate with their Western peers in an effort to carve out a position in the global music landscape.
In order to carve out a position for themselves in the global music arena, Indian musicians frequently find themselves trying to collaborate with their Western counterparts. Sukhwinder Singh, a singer with international acclaim, believes that artists should concentrate on their art rather than the outcome.
The composition Jai Ho (Slumdog Millionaire; 2008), which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and established Hindi film music on the international stage, was the brainchild of 51-year-old singer AR Rahman. However, he believes that one shouldn’t become fixated on outshining the West. Hollywood se compete karna hai, yeh humari zidd mein nahin hona chahiye. All we need to do to succeed as artists is work hard. Arrogance, rivalry, and ya zidd don’t “reject” Indian music, he continues, adding that Hollywood doesn’t: “While Hollywood movies lack music, at least seven of them have Indian tunes, six of which are mine. They don’t actually reject it, so. He claims that all one has to do is ” All one needs to do, he says, is work with “dedication”, and the rest will follow.
Many singers and composers have recently spoken out against music labels who fail to give artists proper credit for their works. In the most recent instance, rapper Badshah was criticised by singer Amar Kaushik for taking all the credit for the track’s success after it went viral. Kaushik is the voice behind the song Kala Chashma (Baar Baar Dekho; 2018). In response, Singh states, “There are some people who abuse their power, but not everyone is like that… If something is meant for you, nobody will ever be able to take it from you.
