Find top songs and albums by Raghav Sachar including Gulabi Ankhen (Remix), Tum Pe Hum Toh (From Bole. Jonita…I’ve worked with her quite a few times. Listen to music by Raghav Sachar on Apple Music. We were going to do a track for ‘Guest Iin London’. Talking about teaming up with Malik and Gandhi, Sachar said: “It’s the first time that I worked along side Armaan. I thought saxophone would go really well in this particular arrangement because it’s not as crowded and has space for me to do stuff,” he said. “The arrangement has been done by Abhijit. The three artistes have given a twist to hit numbers “Bol do na zara” and “Main agar kahu” for T-Series’ “Mixtape”. The “Guest Iin London” composer’s latest single in collaboration with singers Armaan Malik and Jonita Gandhi is out now, and the saxophone player can’t stop raving about it. There is no difference between the two fields.” “There is no difference between today’s time Bollywood and independent music like Honey Singh’s independent songs or Honey Singh’s film songs will sound the same. We needed to do that otherwise we would have got stagnated.”Īnd since they shifted, their sound also shifted to Bollywood. “Everyone including myself and Shankar Mahadevan migrated to Bollywood music because of the commercial viability. The only way to survive is Bollywood because it is much more mightier, has the money, actors, has the faces,” said the “Charming lootera” singer. “That’s because both (indie music and Bollywood artistes) are making songs and both are making same type of songs.

They have really outdone themselves which is little shocking because we are churning out more music than they are,” he added. “So, if you compare the two ‘Coke Studios’, you can see a stark difference between what we have created here and what they have created over there. Independent music is given a lot of importance there,” he said. “Probably because every artiste is an independent artiste in their own right and successful. So, by the time the music is made by the music director to the release time, there are multiple changes made to the song and it ends up losing soul because too many cooks spoil the broth.”Īnd that’s something that doesn’t often happen in Pakistan, he believes. It’s basically the producer who is putting in the money and then the label. Even the director is probably not much involved in music making. “In Bollywood, what happens is that you are making a song for a film which is directed by a person. They attempt songs and give them a different light because there is lesser ‘bastardisation’ of a musician.” Raghav Sachar
