In conversation with mid-day as part of this interview, Shaan makes his displeasure about the monotony in the music industry, evident. "I'm a little worried for the new generation of singers," says the musician - also a reality show judge - when prodded about the current crop that is set to make a career in Bollywood.

"Today, amateurish singing has become an asset, instead of a liability. Slurring, drowning of vocals and whining have become [trends] that people are appreciating. Compositions too are all in the same scale. And that's not just restricted to Indian music. International songs too are all in one loop. Music is getting dumbed down to a point of no return," says the singer, whose upcoming track, It's Natural, he says, is a step further at encouraging fresh sounds.
