Lyricist Sameer once spoke about the phenomenon of new age playback singers sounding the same across the board.
An old clip of the lyricist from his podcast &lsquo;Sameer Ka Safarnama&rsquo; has resurfaced on the Internet, and it shows him talking to playback singer Javed Ali about all the singers sounding similar.
He said, &ldquo;All the veterans of Hindi film music had their own colour, and style. And all the composers, writers and singers of that time had a wonderful thing. Like it is over today. Nowadays it seems that everyone is singing Arijit Singh. When singers like you perform, it feels fresh, and it seems that there is a little peace and a different voice. Otherwise, every person is sounding the same. And the sound is also sounding the same. No matter what song you listen to, everyone's sound is the same&rdquo;.
He further mentioned, &ldquo;The same kind of voice, the same kind of sound. The conviction of people in making a song, in making a film, has also disappeared somewhere. Every man feels that he is just making a proposal, no one is making a film. Making a film is a very personal experience despite it being a collaborative artform&rdquo;.
&ldquo;Earlier, we used to sit, jam, meet and talk. Now I have called you, Javed, come and sing a song. You will come and sing a song and leave? But I saw Lata ji and Kishore da for the recordings, they were having fun, while jamming on the song, they were discussing the song&rdquo;, he added.
