‘Farida’ has five songs. I am going to release three of them with videos,” he said. But why relaunch it after four years? “It didn’t do well back then as it didn’t reach out to people. The time wasn’t so good. The entire album was kept just like that. I thought now is a good time to release it,” he said about the album, which was earlier released by Universal Music India. He is first unveiling “Fakira” on Tuesday. “It is a Sufi song mixed with jazz music. It will be followed by a heavy metal song which again has a Sufi feel to it. The third one, a romantic song, is about broken hearts. It is a fusion of Indian pop and Sufi,” said Abhijeet.
He has also promised to release more original non-film music. “I will release my own compositions and compilations with other singers on my YouTube channel. It will take at least four to five months to release them. I haven’t thought of collaborating with rappers as my music doesn’t allow me to use a rapper in my songs,” said the singer, who is mostly associated with Indian pop genre. His focus is only on music now. Does that mean he will no longer act in movies?
“Most probably, unless something good comes my way. Maybe, I will do playback singing. But not too much of acting or television shows. There are celebrity reality shows, but I don’t want to get into that,” said Abhijeet, who starred in the film “Lottery” in 2009. In the same year, he joined the Shiv Sena. “I am happily part of the party, but I am not actively working there. I joined in the starting days of my career. There was nobody to tell me what was right or wrong for my profile. “Now that I have realised, I am managing my life in the correct way. I have a good relationship with them (Shiv Sena members) but I don’t want to get involved in politics. My focus is on music.”
