A recent video featuring Shaan on the show Chill Sesh with Sapan Verma has captured widespread attention on social media. In the clip, Shaan, celebrated for his music since the 1990s, appears to critique the current trend of minimalist singing styles, which some speculate might be directed at artists like Prateek Kuhad and Anuv Jain.
What Did Shaan Say?
In the video, Shaan remarks,
“These days, people favor simple, personal, minimalist songs.” He humorously imitates playing a guitar and humming, commenting, “Everyone’s tone is such that they shouldn’t show too much enthusiasm, or they risk losing the audience’s interest.”
He contrasts this with his own approach, emphasizing his full effort and noting his songs have garnered around 2 billion views. Shaan reflects on how industry standards have shifted, suggesting that if he performed like many contemporary artists, he would have faced rejection in earlier times.
