Shashwat Singh plays to his strength while presenting two tracks from Dulquer Salmaan’s Sita Ramam. Versed in singing romantic and melancholic tracks, Singh has lent his voice to two songs that belong to the same genres. “Ishq karo is the first one which has a beautiful melody, and it plays out during the sad parts of the story. I watched it the other day, and am so happy with how it has been placed. The section warrants the song,” says the singer, who has also rendered the “absolutely beautiful” Dil se dil. “This one has such a subtle bounce! There is also a chorus section with kids, which I really like.”

While this offering marks his first collaboration with Salmaan, Singh says he has consumed the actor’s work during his time spent in Chennai. “But, while singing for any actor, I don’t modify my voice, unless the director asks me to do so. For example, in Sanju, in which I was singing for [Dutt’s] character, my voice had to match his own. Mr Salmaan has a pleasant face, and these songs have an element of sweetness attached with them. So, they fit appropriately.”
