Jyotica Tangri talks about why she is focussing on non-film songs and featuring in videos, too
For Jyotica Tangri, this year has been about Bollywood as well as non-film projects in equal measure. While she had Maahi Ve Teri Akhiyaan, Tere Naal Rehna, Mahiya Ve Mahiya and Kuch Nahi on Zee Music Originals, there were Shubh Din (Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran), O Meri Laila (Laila Majnu), Kem Cho (Baazaar), and more. The songstress talks about her latest non-film release, Main Iss Chhor Hun and why she wants to continue releasing more of them.
THE NEW SINGLE
I’ve worked with composer Ajay Jaiswal in the past and love his melodies. We have collaborated on more numbers. There’s another single that I filmed in Dubai recently — people will see me dancing for the first time in its video.
More indie stuff Since my film music did well this year, I’m coming up with more indie music. I am focussing on featuring in the videos since it’s important that listeners connect with me more than just as a playback singer.
I want to build my brand value. Also, if I have something in mind that I want to do, it’s possible to do it through my own stuff.
STARTING IN FILMS
My first Bollywood song was Jai Ma in Behen Hogi Teri (2017). When I was offered it, I knew I was going to do well in the industry because you get confidence when your work is good. I sang a version of Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahungi (Half Girlfriend), which became a big hit and was included in the soundtrack. I kept my focus on my singing and career and I’m still doing it.
SINGING FOR WEB SERIES
Every song I render is important and I put an equal amount of effort in each of them, whether for films, singles or web series. When I heard the composition of Sacred Games, I was blown away because it was impactful. While recording Labon Se Chhu Kar, I didn’t know it was going to be for a big project starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. My fans ask me to sing it at my shows.
FOR THE LOVE OF ROMANCE
Though I sing all genres, I like romantic songs because I get to explore my voice in them. I thought Ishq De Faniyar in Fukrey Returns was a unique track because I mostly dub dance numbers. I like giving listeners what they want to hear from me, so club songs are equally welcome.
