Mumbai, February 14 – Music composer Uttam Singh, known for his work on 'Gadar', has explained why the new music isn't resonating with audiences.
Singh stated that the music of the current era lacks melody, which is the foundation of any good song.
He told, "The old music is still popular. Even though big films are being released, old songs are still being used. This is a very wrong thing. If you are making films with old songs because new songs are being created, then why are they not being used? Because there is no depth. Because there is no melody, because there is no music, because there are no lyrics. That's why those songs come, get danced to, and then disappear."
He further added, "The old music that has already been successful, I want to say that the songs used in 'Gadar 2' are the same. A song is like land. It is difficult to create land. The rest of the land, whether you build a house, a field, or a bungalow, is up to you. But the song is the land. Creating the song is a very big thing."
Earlier, he had spoken about how the industry treated the late singing legend, saying, "I have always seen Lata ji as Goddess Saraswati. We worship Saraswati because we belong to the arts. And living Saraswati was only and only Lata ji. I have worked with her for almost 40 years since I started in the 1965-1966 era. I continued to work with her."
"And I have arranged many songs with her. I would like to tell you one thing, that there was a time, when producers, directors, music directors, writers, cameramen, actresses, actors, everyone had a wish that Lata ji should sing in our film," he added.
