Streaming sites may have made it easy for listeners to consume singles, but Shaan believes there is still place for cohesive music albums in the industry. “Because a lot of music is being streamed rather than watched as videos, we are seeing EPs and audio albums making a return. So, I think it’s a great time to release an album, that too with distinct voices,” says the singer, who has rendered Meethi meethi baarsatein for LoFi Baarish, a compilation of monsoon songs also featuring songs by Akhil Sachdeva, and Dev Negi.
“Since the rains are connected with the theme of love, [we] weaved an idea around it. Today, I am drawn to an offer if it is something I haven’t explored before. Songs that deal with social causes are [always a priority] for me, and so are numbers about brining glory to our country. As an entertainer, it’s my responsibility to be socially active, and create awareness through music. This is also the reason that I don’t put out random music on my label. I put out a song once in a fortnight because I am creating a space where each song has something special to say,” says the singer, adding that given that the Juju Baby album was the creative work of his friend Gourov Dasgupta, he was certain to be part of it.
