Bollywood music report Jan-Sep 2013: Romantic songs and new singers continue topping the charts (based on Radio Mirchi top 20)
Much like our cinema, where we as an audience can equally enjoy watching both a Chennai Express or The Lunchbox, our eclectic music taste makes us enjoy all kinds of music. And that is increasingly finding a place both in our films as well as independent music, being developed by today’s new-age music composers, be it Amit Trivedi, Ram Sampath or the maestro AR Rahman.
Romance seems to be the flavour of this year’s music. The combination of new-age music directors with new voices have given our music a fresh character. The modes of listening to music may have become digitalised, but the listeners are growing faster than the increase in the population of our country. We bring you our top choices so far this year.
