Recently, in a conversation legendary music composer, singer and producer Leslee Lewis-who has had a pioneering role in bringing Indie Pop to India-shared his thoughts on Arijit Singh’s departure from the singing realm.
Iconic Singer Leslee Lewis shared his thoughts on Arijit Singh’s retirement from the playback singing arena. He says the major heartbreak now is for the “elite fans” of the singer.
In a media interaction he said they are going to miss their iconic singer, but from his perspective, he’s the artist. He’s living his life. How better can an artist live his life and make his own decisions and not have the public decide for him whether he should sing or not sing? He wanted to sing; he sang. He sang as long as he wanted. Now he doesn’t want to sing. He wants to do something else. He’s doing it. He can. That’s his life.”
He further went on to add People can’t fathom the fact that he has the guts to leave it at the peak of his career. That is commendable. And so you feel like a true artist. It’s not about the money. It’s not about the peak of his career. It’s like, now he thinks
he wants to do something else. He will do something else. What stops him from coming back? Nothing.”
“There are so many reunion concerts that have been happening over the years. You can always come back. That option is up to me. But right now, they’re probably missing in the new Bollywood, but Leslee thinks it also makes room for a lot of young, other talented singers who get extra room to showcase themselves, which is great for the whole industry.
