My day with Shreya Ghoshal: India's greatest contemporary singer: Gen X Queen of the Female Playback Singers

My day with one of Bollywood's greatest contemporary singers, Shreya Ghoshal. For SCMP back in 2011. 

Read the feature and our chat in earlier post here.

Was chatting with another editor in Mumbai and she described her voice as pure honey, just soothing the ear. So true. 

As reluctant as I am to compare and contrast, to me, Shreya and Sunidhi are the Lata and Asha of today. Both are just seven months apart in age, came into the national consciousness as child artists on Reality TV shows, have a range as wide as the ocean, have sound heads and minds and have stayed true to themselves despite temptations and lucrative offers from the film industry. 

Their dedication to the craft is unbeatable and love for all music. In conversation with Sunidhi, she loved Western music as much as she did classic songs of the 60s. Shreya dedicates part of her every show to classic songs from an erstwhile era. And the images reflect the joy of music and performing on stage - the full command of having an audience in their palm.
