Kailash Kher Doesn’t Want His Music To Follow Trends

MUMBAI- Singer Kailash Kher has opened up about his approach to music and why he has never felt the need to chase changing market trends.

Talking about his latest track, ‘Tham Jaa’, the singer emphasized the importance of staying authentic to one’s emotions, lyrics and musical identity. Since entering the music industry, Kher said he and his team have focused on creating music in their own way, without compromising their emotions, words, compositions or signature sound.

He noted that while the industry often encourages artists to follow what is currently working in the market, he chooses not to be guided by such trends.

“What happens is that, since we have come into the industry, in the music industry, we make our own emotions, our own words, our own composition, our own style of sound, and never compromise with it,” Kher said.

He further pointed out how musical trends and audience preferences keep changing, with artists often being encouraged to quickly come up with catchy hook lines. However, Kher said this is not the approach he follows.

“Now quickly make a hook line. We don’t do that at all,” he added.

Kher also reflected on how the world may continue to evolve, but human emotions remain unchanged. Drawing a comparison with nature, he noted that the moon, sun, earth, air and water have remained the same despite the many changes around us.

He elaborated on the idea, saying, “No matter how much the world changes, emotions never change. The moon, the sun, the earth, the air and the water have not changed. What has changed is our intelligence, our scholars and the way people think, and that has brought its own set of problems. Those who consider themselves very intelligent have perhaps become a little hopeless.”

“But the moon hasn’t changed, the sun hasn’t changed, the air hasn’t changed, and the water hasn’t changed. Even the oxygen is still flowing just as it always has—you still don’t see people walking around carrying oxygen cylinders. So, it feels good to remain aware, grounded, and conscious even today,” he added. (IANS)
