A song would have to be perfect recipe of appropriate portions of music, singing and lyrics.
Hindi cinema till some time ago had all of these, but off-late things have changed in all three areas, enormously.
The biggest reason why Indian music has lost its importance and class is BOLLYWOOD. If you look closer, Bollywood was never about good music, it was about hit music. Bollywood music has lost melody almost completely. The important reason is that today music director only aim on hit music, not on good Music.
Just pick a tune from other and put some catchy vocals, that’s it and seriously that’s not what you call Melody.
Reasons:
- One of the main reasons I believe is the politics. Talented people are not given a chance, while people who are not in form are still making music.
- The youth does not appreciate Indian elements in music which sound amazing. Electronic peeps most people now days.
- Melodious music still comes from artists in the form of albums, and there is still no album culture in India. The only way people are exposed to music is Bollywood.
- The regional music is still very cultural, wide and melodic. Do try and get hang of some.
Usage of the software can make you sing. But that doesn’t make music;it makes technology.!!!music need to be felt within. Its the manifestation of ones true self. The songs in Bollywood are not compelling and unique and the music is recurring and everybody end up with a crossover cover version. That’s no fun.
