Renowned singer Papon has released his latest song, Sadma, a soul-stirring tribute to the legendary Jagjit Singh on his birth anniversary. Originally composed and sung by the ghazal maestro himself, the song has been reinterpreted by Papon, who infuses it with his signature depth and emotion while staying true to its classic essence.

Written by celebrated poet Qateel Shifai, Sadma is a timeless composition that resonates deeply with lovers of ghazals. With the recreation, Papon not only aims to pay homage to Jagjit Singh but also wishes to introduce his music to a new generation of listeners.

Jagjit Singh's music has been a profound influence on Papon, who grew up listening to his ghazals. "Jagjit Singh Ji has been an eternal inspiration for me and countless music lovers. His voice was not just about melody—it was about storytelling, about evoking emotions that stay with you forever. I grew up listening to his ghazals, and his music has shaped my understanding of depth and soul in singing. Recreating Sadma is my humble tribute to him, a way of saying thank you for the magic he gave us. I have tried to keep the essence of the song intact while bringing my own interpretation to it. I hope listeners feel the same warmth and nostalgia that I felt while recording it."

Papon's impressive discography boasts hits like "Moh Moh Ke Dhaage", "Kaun Mera", "Jiyein Kyun", "Tu Meri Dost Hain", "Bulleya", "Har Har Gange", "Sajdaa", and "Zindagi", showcasing his versatility in Bollywood and indie music, as well as folk and ghazal renditions.
