Mumbai, April 9 (NationPress) Singer Javed Ali has expressed his motives for joining the track "Koyal." Renowned for his soulful voice, Ali disclosed the immediate connection he felt to the song that motivated him to participate.
He stated that upon hearing the song's composition, he was captivated. Javed mentioned to IANS, “First and foremost, the composition of "Koyal" struck a chord with me. After just a couple of lines, I sensed that this song was exceptional. I promptly resolved that I wanted to be part of it, and I’m delighted to be included.”
“Regarding Digvijay Vidya, the new artist I’m collaborating with this season, I was genuinely impressed by her talent. She is exceptionally gifted. During the recording sessions, we engaged in a lot of improvisation and generated numerous creative ideas. It’s one of those processes where you feel the urge to do more right until the very end. We continued to refine the song until the final moments, from mixing to production and everything in between,” he added.
When questioned about the influence of digital platforms like YouTube and Spotify on the significance of traditional playback singers, Javed Ali provided a thoughtful insight, saying, “It’s difficult to determine. Traditional singers maintain their own audience, and every artist has a distinctive fan base. Very few artists can resonate with every audience. Therefore, the question of relevance does not have a simple answer. It’s all about what the audience connects with.”
The singer also discussed the changing landscape of Indian music amid contemporary sounds and fusion genres. When asked whether he thinks the industry is losing its originality, Javed Ali clarified, stating, “No, I don’t believe it’s losing its originality. Sometimes the younger audience desires to hear something fresh and innovative. For instance, "Koyal" is a classical fusion track that embodies a modern essence, thanks to its new sound. Thus, I think it beautifully merges both realms, while still retaining its originality.”
On a related note, “Koyal” showcases the soulful voice of Javed Ali, with music created by DIGV and produced by Ravator. It also features a lovely classical verse by Vidhya Gopal. The song delves into the profound emotions of love—its intensity, passion, and the ways it influences individuals.
