Reshammiya Says "Samjho Na"
Well, its not really our fault if a news item about Himesh Reshammiya finds a place on plenty of websites on an almost daily basis. Afterall the man is not resting at all and finding his name plastered everywhere, be it billboards, talent hunt shows or album covers.
Unrelenting in his onscreen appearances to the songs sung by him, he would now be seen in the music video of the third song from his private album 'Aap Ka Surroor'. A painful song with an agonizing cry to your loved one, 'Samjho Na' features Reshammiya in his bearded best as he searches, finds and then looses his love.
The music video has been imaginatively shot as a young boy and girl are shown building castles in the air (literally) as they walk over the clouds at their innocent best.
It was Firoz's idea," Himesh says lamely. "I was only to do one number. But since he felt my voice suited three more numbers, I had to yield to his requests."
Himesh Reshammiya, the new hotshot composer on the block, has also made it a practice to lend his vocals regularly—he has playbacked six songs in this year alone and his solo album is also released now.
"I have a good, trained voice," he says by way of justification. "And since I sang the title track of Aashiq Banaya Aapne, which is the biggest musical hit of 2005, I have been inundated with offers to sing. However, Himesh the music composer decides whether Himesh the singer should be used. I don't impose myself on any producer."
The fight between composers and singers to steal the best song in an album is on for another reason as well. "A hit song can fetch a singer big money and repeat value at shows," points out a renowned music critic.
.And now Himesh is a new threat to the already dwindling opportunities: the music director who's itching to turn singer.
