The Hindi Music Scene of 90's Vis A Vis Music Charts Of Today!

The 90's was a great time to consume music. For we were spoiled for choice. On one hand, we had the regular film music albums which we stocked up in recorded cassettes and CD's, and on the other hand, we had the very popular 'Singles' , which told such beautiful stories through it's music videos. 

Flipping through channels was pure joy, as we witnessed a story unfold in combination with meaningful lyrics. 

Through the 2000's we did lose some of the great gems of Hindi Music Culture. 

Here's a REWIND :

1. Alisha Chinai  - A beautiful looking girl, who came up with back to back Hits. Her most popular being 'Made In India' and more recently 'Kajrare' in Bollywood.  She had the star quality and screen presence with a great voice. 

2. Lucky Ali - His songs were full of emotion, as if narrating his own experience through them. He touched upon some real situations of heart-break, physical violence to being a loner as he traveled through beautiful landscapes. We hope he comes back again.

3. Falguni Pathak -  Today's Dandiya Queen who comes in limelight every year in Navratri. She was a star in her own right  back in 90's as she churned out the foot-tapping numbers which were beautifully pictured.

4. Shweta Shetty -  The bold and beautiful Shweta Shetty added a touch of earthiness to her videos. We loved her in 'Dewaane To Dewaane Hain'

5. Illa Arun - Her heavy voice coupled with Folk Music, was a complete treat. Though, she does not hit the music scene any longer.

6. Daler Mehendi - A gifted artist who produced some of the best Bhangra Pop Numbers. His recent hit track is 'Mirzya' title track, which is brilliantly sung by him. 

7. Anamika -  This lovely dainty lady had the nation crooning to her song, 'Kahim Karta Hoga Woh Mera Intezaar' and instantly became a household name.

8. Euphoria - A sense of Euphoria prevailed each time they came out with a song. Such rooted and hearty tracks, sure need to make a come-back. 

9. Shaan - His new age voice resonated with the youth. He got much admiration with ' Tanha Dil' and his fresh face added a star value to his songs.

Currently, the audience and listeners have a vast number of Bollywood Songs at their disposal.
Sadly, the solo artists artist gradually vanished from mainstream music.

However, lately some artists like Arjun Kanungo, Badshah, Honoey Singh have re-entered this form of entertainment.

We wish we could rewind back to this time and live the joys of brilliant renditions once again.
