The veteran singer said that the music directors and the singers don’t have the ability to create something new and that is the reason they are recreating old songs.
According to her, old songs like ‘Jhumka Gira Re’ have lyrics, singers and music. It’s a combination of everything.Asha went on to tell India Today in an interview that if the cinematographer had not shot the songs well, the picturisation wouldn’t have left an impact. It’s a team effort. According to her, that’s how you make a good song.
Elaborating further, Bhosle added that a lot of hard work went into creating songs in the past. She revealed that the lyricist would sit down with the composer and discuss every word. Even the biggest lyricists would fight for every word.
Earlier, in another interview with Hindustan Times, Asha had revealed that she doesn’t find songs with excellent lyrics today, but she listens to them occasionally and sometimes, she comes across good songs by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sunidhi Chauhan and others. However, she admitted that she rarely listens to music. If she has to, then she listens to the old songs.
