Sonu Nigam Reveals How He Masters the Nuances of Different Languages

Sonu Nigam talked about how he manages the intricacies of language as a singer. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Sonu Nigam said that when singing a song in an unfamiliar language, one has to make an effort to sound as familiar with the language as possible. He added that one also has to depend on the person who is guiding them through the song, because if he is not good with the language, they will end up singing incorrectly, no matter how hard they work.

The singer was asked, "You have sung songs in so many languages. It is believed that the intricacies of the language are very complicated. How easy or difficult is it for you as a singer to understand them and then act accordingly?" Sonu Nigam told IANS that when he began singing for South, he used to keep S. P. Balasubrahmanyam in mind to sound more authentic.

He shared, "There are a few layers to this answer. First of all, it depends on the singer's capability to imbibe a style. When I first sang songs in the South Indian languages, I kept S. P. Balasubrahmanyam in my mind." "We also have to rely on the person teaching us.

If that person is not well-versed in the language, which is very much possible, then we will obviously sing in incorrect language. So, some efforts we have to put from our side and some we have to rely on the person teaching us", he further went on to explain. Meanwhile, Sonu Nigam recently reconnected with his roots with his latest Haryanvi track 'Chunni'.

Along with him, the song has also been crooned by Renuka Panwar. Scored and penned by Aamin Barodi, the music video of this latest Haryanvi number features Charmee Zaveri.
