Himesh Reshammiya is a name well known in Bollywood music circles, thanks to a number of hits like Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Jhalak Dikhlaja, Tere Naam and Tera Suroor.
Now, in a recent interview with The Indian Express, the singer/composer opened up about how he is keeping busy during the pandemic, and much to the joy of his fans, he shared quite some exciting news. "I have composed about 700 songs for a very big project, including 300 new songs during this lockdown. This project has inspired me to create new compositions," said Reshammiya.
Yes, 300 songs during the lockdown. We'll have to take his word for this one and wait for him to drop more details about this mega project, we guess!
Talking about the same project, he also shared how it's a 'game changer'. "Now, I’m really looking forward to announcing that project because it is a complete game changer. It has some great melodies which are necessary for the music market in today’s times," he said. Reshammiya also expressed his wish for music in India to be "completely independent".
"As compared to how music functions throughout the world, India has different kinds of rules. Here it is more film dominated. But, independent music will take over the scene very soon," he shared, also adding how the industry has had enough of remixes - and we couldn't agree more. "I think it is time to go back to original music. The audience is saying it and not just the music industry," he expressed.
Looks like we will be hearing a lot more of Reshammiya once again after a long time. Are you excited?
