The act of signing may appear as a singer’s monopoly, but things are not exactly so. Except established numbers from eminent literature personalities, any signing assignment is subject to teamwork, asking every member to make their respective contributions to turn it as a grand success. Consider any film centric composition, and the thought process starts from the director and ends to the singer. As per the storyline requirement, the director plans for a situation in the film where a particular number is to be inserted. The next step is to discuss with the composer about the song treatment, and the lyricist joins the party by coming with the wordings that defines the situation. The trio then brainstorm about the tune to be composed, followed by the singer selection. A wrong perception is there that the music composer holds the sole right to select a singer. Of course his/her say is important, but not the final one. Director, lyricist, producers, even actors also influence in the selection process, and that’s the multi-dimensional criteria that a singer has to satisfy to get awarded with the song credit, other than just singing excellence. Each of the mentioned personalities may have their own circle of preferred signers, and no wonder they bat for their own connections to give the singing opportunity. That’s the level of competition that any famous singer in Kolkata faces, and has no options left but to build rapport with the people who matter in the film production. And when the film is financed by non-Kolkata based production houses, producer will obviously prefer for someone with national fame rather than local artists. Irrespective of the fact that the city based singer often fares well above those with more popularity. Demo version singing is another popular treatment made by music directors to get the raw derivative of the song, so composed. Normally singers with lesser or no popularity are hired to sing this scratch version, before handing it over to the selected song for rerecording purpose. Chances are always there that the current chartbuster, foot tapping item number was originally sung by a thumri singer in kolkata, but nowhere in the credit title his/her name is mentioned. What it means is simple; unless the music is out, even the established singer can’t guarantee that his/her version would be used in the film. Competition from fellow singers with more or less similar quality is still healthy, but the game completely changes when one particular entity associated with the film walks into the arena. These days, most of the music directors are happy to turn composer cum singer, and singers have every reason to get frowned. But as long as producers are happy with this money saving double role played by the composers, situations are unlikely to change soon. Enormous talent in singing is not going to be sufficient anymore, to survive in playback world. Things have changed, and personal terms are going to earn more assignments rather than raw talent. Other than mastering the arts of raagas and harquats, singers are concentrating on public relation development as well. Author Bio: The author is a famous singer in kolkata, credited for a number of super hit tracks and albums in recent times. Besides, he has earned a substantial reputation as a rank Thumri singer in Kolkata as well.
