SOULFUL VOICE-ARIJIT SINGH (LP)

worldlisteningpost.com Hollywood playback singers are traditionally heard but not seen. In Bollywood, however, the performers whose voices appear on film soundtracks are often as renowned as the actors who appear on screen. Arijit Singh’s 30-track Soulful Voice may seem like a greatest hits album, but it’s actually a collection from just the first three years of his film career; while all the tracks are in Hindi, he has recorded in seven languages. Singh’s resonant, velvety voice earned him a Filmfare Award (the Indian Oscar) for Aashiqui 2, a drama about a musician whose romantic life is complicated by drinking. In the film’s lead song, Tum Hi Ho (You’re the One), he struggles with making things right: “I live for you every day,” he intones, “your name is in my every breath.” In Kabhi Jo Baadal Barse (When the Clouds Rain)—from the comedy/thriller Jackpot—he gives voice to a street-smart protagonist trying to impress his girlfriend: “I want to live in your shadow,” he croons, “Whether you give me sadness or joy, I’ll bear it.” In Mast Magan (Captivated Heart), a Sufi/Qawwali-influenced composition from the romcom Two States, Singh channels a shy college student pursuing his study partner: “Without you I wouldn’t live in a crystal palace/With you even stale bread is fine,” he pleads. Singh is a common surname in India, derived from the Sanskrit word for “lion.” In this case, it also serves in English as the perfect professional denominator.

The collection is a good one. The price is a bit too much. Should be priced at least $5 dollars lower.

Good

Excellent CD. We all loved it.

Poor sound quality. Skipping sound through out the entire file.

Good quality

Beautiful songs

Exceeded expectations

Seine Stimme wirkt beruhigend,wie samt. Aber dazwischen diese Frau! Etwas krude Mischung zwischen kuscheligem Solo,und Wachmacher Duett. Das ist die Kritik .Da er seine Stimme vielen bollywoodfilmen verleiht,kenne ich davon einiges und auf der Doppel cd werden einige anders gespielt wiederholt (anderes Tempo,tonlage). Nagut. Aber ist schön. Buh

Lovely songs unfortunately the CD skips automatically during song number 7 and goes to song 9, I bought another one as I really liked the songs but exactly the same thing happened again with the other one too.

Beautiful Indian music arijet singh
