Of all art forms, music is the one that speaks to us on a subliminal level. It nourishes the mind and body, acts as a therapy, comforts the troubled souls and even introduces a new world to us depending on its place of origin. It has long been a part of our culture, so much so that the world recognizes Bollywood for its music and dance.
In the past 3 decades, our music has undergone a rapid change. From indie pop, mainstream music to non – film music, the music of the current era is largely different from what it used to be 30 years back. Different musicians have become a part of our films and have served flavourful music. Let’s take a look at 4 such singers whose music acts as the food for the soul.
