Eesha Suchi’s new medley is a tribute to Kannada music

Singer Eesha Suchi, who already has a number of Kannada

songs

to her credit, has come up with a new medley, in which she is celebrating 40 years of Sandalwood

music

. The artiste had earlier sung a medley of 50

Kannada

songs. This time, however, Eesha has sung 100 songs on one beat.

“I chose American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth’s How Long beat, because when I had begun working on this series last year, this song was very popular. On the recommendation of a few friends, I put together a medley of 100 popular Kannada songs that were released between 1975 and 2019,” says Eesha. This medley, according to Eesha, is an attempt at bringing something new to the Kannada industry, while retaining the essence of all the songs. “Some of these old Kannada songs had chords similar to the English track I chose. Also I picked songs that had a little fast tempo. I wanted to use a hero-music director combo, but then figured that it wouldn’t work out. So, I just chose songs that were popular and went well with the beat. Selecting the appropriate songs was a tough job. And while doing so, I also had to keep in mind the popularity of those songs. It was also important to maintain the energy throughout, because some of the old songs were melodious but slow numbers,” she explains.

So, what’s next? “I think I will wait for the feedback from my listeners and see what they want to hear next. Based on their suggestions, I will work on my next medley,” the singer signs off.
