POPULAR Indian singer Krishh has toured many places, but Malaysia is, in fact, his favourite place to perform.
“The Tamil community here loves the Tamil language, and they give so much to Tamil music,” he said.
Krishh, who has a slew of hit Tamil songs, was in Malaysia last week to promote his upcoming debut concert in Kuala Lumpur.
During an exclusive interview with theSun, the singer revealed that “expression” is the most important quality in a singer.
“For me, I think of expression and emotion through voice and lyrics. Expression is the key for any singer and it is very important,” said Krishh, or real name Vijay Balakrishnan, whose voice could melt hearts.
Known for his soul-stirring songs and electrifying performances, the handsome singer was in Malaysia to launch the sale of his tickets for his concert on Aug 24.
Switching roles
His iconic song June Ponal July Katru is one of the most loved by fans, so he was asked if he could recreate the same magic in another song.
“For me, the best is yet to come. That’s how I see it,” replied Krishh.
The multi-talented performer sings, acts and composes music. Now that he is on the other side of the recording console producing other singers, how does he feel about the switch of roles?
“It’s hard, and there are a lot of responsibilities. It’s one scale higher. I have to be extremely sensitive towards what I give to people, satisfy listeners and do justice to the movies that I compose,” answered Krishh.
Asked on what would he like to change in the Tamil music industry now, Krishh thinks there is a lack of melody in songs.
“Fast tracks will be a hit for a while and then it’s forgotten quickly, but melodious songs always remain in the mind.”
In the past, he says fast tracks composed by music directors had melodies but now, he feels it is missing.
