Sonu Nigam opens up on technology and modern day music

Sonu Nigam has made some very valid observations on the changing face of music today. On the subject of several Bollywood actors going behind the microphone to record songs, Sonu feels that modern day technology can help anyone become a good singer. But the litmus test of a singer is during live shows.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 5 June 2016.

Sonu Nigam (42) agrees that actors can sing in films because there is demand for it. But performing live on stage is an altogether different matter because it is the true litmus test of a singer. Sonu also feels one must move on with times because the culture of albums has made way for singles.
He clarifies - in earlier days, album making was treated as films. There would be two dance tracks, two romantic numbers, one sad song. Today, nobody buys music albums - it is the age of downloads and of singles. Therefore, all the energy that one used to devote to an album has to be now put in one single. The song must be good, and the video perfect.
