In 2019, Raahul Jatin<\/strong> made his debut as a singer with the single \u2018Aankhon Ke Ishaare\u2019 released by Zee Music Company. Since then, he has released a bunch of singles including \u2018Bin Tere\u2019 and \u2018Batao Na\u2019. \u2018Humnasheen\u2019, his newly released single, has been written by his father, the legendary composer Jatin Pandit. The song boasts of a lilting melody and the music video has been released in black-and-white format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Humnasheen\u2019 features a mellifluous tune and minimal arrangements. How did you come up with the concept or theme for the song?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to create a song where the focus would be on the melody, lyrics and singing. Looking at the current music scenario, I felt we were beginning to shift away from these things. The creators seemed to be more concerned about the beats, drop and sound effects. Till date, we remember so many wonderful songs from the \u201890s and early 2000s because of their melody and lyrics. A song will stand out only when the melody and the lyrics are good. In \u2018Humnasheen\u2019, only three instruments have been used, piano, bass and drums. It has been my most honest composition so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music video is in black-and-white format. Who came up with this idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was Harper Gahunia\u2019s idea. He has directed the music video. I have collaborated with Harper on my earlier videos as well. The black-and-white palette gives a different vibe to the song. We saw the video in a coloured format as well but we realized it worked better in a black-and-white space. It has been a while since a black-and-white music video was released in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you compose the tune?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was actually my second composition after \u2018Aankhon Ke Ishaare\u2019. At that time, we could not take it forward for some reason. It is a tune that has been very close to my heart. After \u2018Aankhon Ke Ishaare\u2019, I was trying to make another upbeat song. A lot of people told me that in the initial stage of one\u2019s career, one should stick to one genre. However, this tune came organically to me and stayed with me for a long time. When I shared the tune of the mukhda<\/em> with papa, he instantly liked it. I am glad I could finally share it with the world. I feel no matter what the genre of the song is, its melody should be strong. \u2018Subah Hone Na De\u2019, composed by Pritam sir, is one such song. It is an upbeat song but has a wonderful tune to it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
