We've been waiting, for a long, long time..u00a0 for Taz of the Stereo Nation fame, to resurface. And even after all these years, the band's 90s hit, I've Been Waiting, is still on our lips. Back in Bollywood with a bang, this British singer and music director hopes that India is going to take to his upcoming tracks for Karan Razdan's next, as quickly as they did to his 90s projects. Taz gives CS his take on Bollywood music: 
Pop goes the weasel
Looks like I'm going to be in India for a while, because I've got three desi projects lined up. It's good to know that people here still remember me as the guy from Stereo Nation. But what's unfortunate is that the band culture has died in India. When I entered the Indian music scene, pop was big. Now it's only Bollywood. And what saddens me is that a lot of talented musicians and bands don't find a platform. I hope that this phenomenon is just a part of a cycle, and that we'll soon have the pop fad re-emerging.
Time for items
One fad that I can't help noticing is that of item numbers. When I was here in the 90s, this was unheard of. But I don't think there's anything wrong with categorising music. At the end of the day, it's all a part of Bollywood, the industry that's made us famous internationally. In Britain where I live, everyone is familiar with Bollywood, and I'm not just talking about the NRIs. From clubs to restaurants, there's desi music playing everywhere.
A different beat
But we need to be careful that we don't keep copying tracks. Many songs end up sounding similar and that gets boring. This shouldn't be the case, especially since Bollywood songs are supposed to be situational. Music directors should be a little more creative and experiment with different genres of music.
