Lyricist Swadanand Kirkire who have a contributed immensely in the industry has joined the cue of musicians and writers who are against the trend of remixing songs for the films and otherwise. In an event, Swanand identified remixes as ‘annoying’ and said that it makes zero sense to him.
In an event conducted at the Aaj Tak studios on Saturday, Swanand said, “Remix pareshaan toh karte hain. I feel kisi ke bane banaye khet pe fasal kaat le vaise baat ho gayi (Remixes do annoy. It is like reaping the rewards of someone else’s labour). I never liked it. Nowadays, in the film industry, [it is said] that you should remix your own song. There’s no sense in it.”
“There’s a reason why an original song is made a certain way. I feel it [remixing] is not good. It keeps happening. I don’t know the solution to this,” he added.
Swanand has grabbed the coveted National Award for Best Lyrics two times. As an actor, playback singer, and assistant director, he debuted in the Bollywood film Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi in 2003. He gave his voice for many songs which are considered one of the best of all times. His composition in the show Satyamev Jayate hosted by actor Aamir Khan have made an impact significantly. He last appeared in the 2020 film Khaali Peeli.
