Remakes of old songs are doing good business in the western countries, especially in the United States and Britain. The trend is also seen in India with several Hindi oldies are coming up in the voice of new singers. In regional languages too, remakes of old songs have set a trend. The songs of once popular the Beatles, Rollingstone are coming up in new voices. The famous Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Bonnie Am, Carpenters are sung by unknown singers to rise to fame quickly. The strength of lyrics, the tunes, the beats, the melody of the old songs still pull crowd. Cashing on this popularity, music companies are hiring upcoming singers to lend their voice to those songs to get instant money. The people often are duped by such remakes, as they mostly do not know their favorite Singers are not the original ones. The problem arises with the young generations who have little idea about the original singers. Although to the veterans, the singers of yesteryears are evergreen, the growing market is aimed at the no-knowledge youths. The trend was first set in early 1990s. According to music critics, the dearth of strong lyricists and talented musicians make space for such markets. The quality of singers is also poor. This phenomenon, surprisingly, is prevalent the world over. Scholars say great human crisis gives birth to new talents. After the Second World War, the agony of death and destruction stirred the human mind leading to the advent of the golden age of Performing Arts. However, efforts are now being made to produce fresh tunes of music with singers trying to render new songs. Trends are also seen to go back to the Classical Music to base songs to it. Search is on to spot genuine lyricists. Time is ripe to produce something as spectacular as the good old days. Posted by subhasis on Sunday Jul 22 reply Comments |
