Shreya Ghoshal - The New Nightingale

She is the new nightingale of India. She is the modern voice for the new generation yet she is already a stalwart. She’s the favourite of all the new age music composers yet she is classically inclined. She can sing a disco track and at the same time sing an exquisite thumri. She is the bridge between Lata Mangeshkar and the future generation. She is Shreya Ghoshal.

Normally, a lilting voice like Shreya’s would let people know that she has been classically trained very early on. But in this case, the nation actually witnessed her prowess as a child artiste singing better than many adult singers. Kalyanjibhai of Kalyanji-Anandji duo was so convinced of her talent when he heard her in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa show that he took her under his tutelage to polish her as a singer. By then Shreya already had her singing base covered very early on by training for Hindustani Classical music at a very young age in her home town near Kota, Rajasthan.

Few years down the line, on the same platform of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Shreya caught the attention of another big name from Bollywood – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This time, future seemed brighter as she was offered to sing for the multi-crore Devdas under the baton of Ismail Darbar. The ‘Ishhh’ of ‘Bairi piya’ struck a chord with the listeners instantly.


After a gap of many many years, such a soft and controlled voice was heard. If she surpassed all expectations of a demanding Bhansali and a meticulous taskmaster like Darbar with her solos, then she did even better with the challenging ‘Dola re’. She actually outdid Kavita Krishnamurthy in this song with her controlled energy and exuberance. ‘Dola re’ won her scores of awards, catapulted her singing career, and most importantly made every composer in Bollywood pause and notice her.

As Ismail Durbar says, “I remember Shreya as that young girl who walked into the studio. But when she sang, we were all blown away. She was excellent and therefore I am very happy to see her succeed as she has.”

Recalling the experience of singing ‘Dola Re’, Shreya says it still remains one of her most special songs. “Sanjay (Leela Bhansali) Sir is very sweet. Not many know this but he has a great voice… in fact there are some songs which we have recorded that he hasn’t yet used! Coming to ‘Dola Re’, I remember him and Ismailji (Darbar) being very patient with me. Every line, every mukhda required certain emphasis and Sanjay Sir ensured I got it right. Most of the credit goes to them.”

n a span of just eight years, Shreya managed to zoom up the ladder of popularity of her fans, peers and contemporaries. There isn’t a single top composer today with whom she has not worked. From ‘Jaadu hai nasha hai’ (Jism) to ‘Teri Ore’ (Singh is Kinng) – both Filmfare winners – Shreya has sung a gamut of songs that many singers would be envious of.

“Winning the Filmfare is obviously great. One feels recognised by one’s idols and peers. But I think my greatest joy comes from seeing my fans enjoy my music; that’s the best feeling to have. I think they have always supported me and blessed me and that is why I have reached this far. All my success belongs to them and my gurus,” says Shreya.

Adds Pritam: “Shreya has a beautiful voice and she is very hard working. When I see her win awards today and get all this recognition, I feel very happy for her. When we got together for ‘Teri Ore’, I think at the end of it I knew the song would do well because of the way she had sung it. I think it is one of those songs that will be remembered for years to come.”

Shreya scores over majority of the singing talent today in being versatile not only in the various languages that she sings in but also the genres she attempts. The fallacy that she could sing only soft romantic numbers has been put to rest long back. However, that she can sing soft romantic songs better than any else is indisputable.

But give her an intricate Rahman classic like ‘Barso re megha’ (Guru) and she will bring her own sensibilities to the track. If ‘Barso re megha’ was frothy and upbeat, then the recent Bade Ghulam Ali Khan’s thumri ‘Bhor Bhaye’ from Delhi 6 would make any talent in India nervous to attempt. Yet Rahman had the confidence in Shreya to sing it in her own style. That thumri has put Shreya into a category reserved only for a few talented singers in Bollywood.

As Vishal Dadlani rightly says, “Shreya is an example for the young generation; it is her hard work that has got her this far. And we only hope she continues to progress even more in the years to come.”
But is there any genre she hasn’t done? Or any dream project she is still holding out for?
“You know I am one of those people who only believe in giving 100 per cent to whatever they do. As long as I do my best, I leave everything to god. And that’s how I have conducted my career so far. I have no dream project as such… as long as I get songs to sing, I feel like I am living my dream,” she says.

Congratulations Shreya.No one deserved the award other than u.U are the biggest gift to the Music Industry.God Bless U!!!!!!!

Nightingale's Concert

Shreya Ghoshal’s ascent in the big bad world of Bollywood playback singing is a modern-day fairytale. Talented young girl wins a popular reality music show (not once, but twice), impresses one of the biggest directors in Bollywood, debuts as th e voice of one of the biggest stars in Bollywood in what ends up being a blockbuster, becomes the youngest playback singer in Bollywood, and lives happily ever after.

The show was “Sa Re Ga Ma”, the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the star Aishwarya Rai and the movie, of course, was “Devdas”.

Seven years down the line, Shreya remains a firm believer in the power of such reality shows. “These shows are where music makers look for fresh talent these days,” she said during a recent visit to the city. “Earlier, there was absolutely no way young singers could approach music directors; today, they have a chance to perform on national television and even become instant stars on these new-format shows that include voting.”

It doesn’t always work out perfectly, but as she put it, sometimes “a good talent is discovered by the right person and given the right songs, and it’s great.”

Which is what, of course, happened in the Ghoshal fairytale. Since “Devdas”, she’s zipped right to the top, singing for all the big directors, and bagging two National Awards, several Filmfare awards, Zee Cine awards and IIFA awards for films such as “Guru”, “Parineeta” and “Paheli”. She’s even won the Tamil Nadu State Award in 2007 for the melodious ‘Munbe Vaa’ (“Sillunu Oru Kaadhal”) which, incidentally, is her favourite Tamil number to date.

The young singer fits the bill of a fairytale princess in other ways too — fresh-faced and pretty. But what’s striking is her maturity; this princess has her feet firmly on the ground. When asked what her advice is for young hopefuls who are where she was a decade ago, her responses were sincere and thoughtful.

“It’s important to be judged by the right people at an early stage — I don’t mean on these shows, but by your seniors, elders with experience,” she said. “You may think you’re superb in a particular style and that may not be so — in that misconception, you could miss out on something else you might have excelled at.”

That, it seems, is her central message — it doesn’t have to be playback singing or bust. “There are so many genres out there, from classical and ghazals to rock, fusion and jazz — so many things to learn, to experiment with,” she said earnestly. “Don’t get disheartened if you don’t get into playback singing.”

In fact, branching out from Bollywood and working on a solo album is right at the top of her priority list as well. “But before that, I want to take a little break from my hectic recording schedule — right now, I don’t have the time to sit down and think about what I want my album to be,” she said. “Maybe travel, sit with some friends and come up with some ideas.”

Sounds good. Here’s hoping for that ‘happily ever after’ ending to the fairytale.

You know a singer’s popular when she’s not let off the stage at 11 p.m. and has to deal with requests for songs in four languages — Hindi (of course), Tamil, Gujarati and Bengali. Phew.

Shreya Ghoshal’s recent concert at the Music Academy in aid of the Sri Kutchi Milan (Madras) Charitable Trust started off, fittingly enough, with a goose bump-inducing rendition of the gorgeous ‘Bairi Piya’ from “Devdas”, which marked her debut as a playback singer.

And the goose bumps kept coming throughout the first half, as the singer, along with Shiv Prasad Mallya performed some of her most soulful hits such as “Teri Ore” from “Singh is Kinng”, ‘Munbe Va’ (one of only a couple of Tamil numbers she performed, but one of her best renditions of the night), ‘Pal pal’ from “Lage Raho Munnabhai” and ‘Mere Dolna’ from “Bhool Bhulaiya” (absolutely beautiful, with her voice rolling effortlessly over difficult swaras).

Shreya herself was in fine form — pitch-perfect as always, demonstrating the modulation and finesse that’s her mark and making you go “Ah, what a voice!” at regular intervals.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the band accompanying her — while passable, its music was strident and lacking in subtlety, rather ruining softer songs such as ‘Piyu Bole’ from “Parineeta”.

And, while no fault could be found with Shreya as a singer, it has to be said that she’s a rather sedate performer. She tried to get the crowd going and more or less succeeded, but the effort showed. Still, that voice and her amazing tally of hit songs ensured that none of that mattered too much.

The second half saw her do a medley of fast numbers that finally got the energy levels up — songs from “Bachna Ae Haseeno”, “Om Shanti Om”, “Welcome” (“one of the few item numbers I’ve sung”) — and had a group of youngsters dancing at the back of the hall. And of course, she obligingly took those multilingual requests late into the night
