Arijit Singh? Again? Realllyyy?
I am a die-hard fan of Arijit Singh, but I can’t listen to him anymore.
GenZ this..GenZ that. No matter what they say, I love being a Gen Z, trust me.
Every night during my childhood years was the same: listening to Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Hemanta Mukherjee, before going to bed.
As I grew up, I started being a typical Hindi cinema fan, my playlists shifted to Shaan, Sonu Nigam, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Alka Yagnik, Hariharan, to name a few.
From random websites and 9XM to YouTube and then to Spotify, my preferred platforms changed with my music taste.
Like you and crores of others, I just got mesmerized hearing the soulful voice of a young Indian guy named Arijit Singh. Not gonna lie, his vocal prowess made me feel like something shifted inside.
No Bengali can forget what magic he created with the Bojhena Se Bojhena title track. For over a decade, I loved, laughed, grooved, danced, swayed, cried, and expressed hundreds of emotions listening to Arijit.
But now, his voice doesn’t feel like the antidote to a stressful day anymore. I don’t enjoy his creations like I did before. Is it only me? I guess not.
