Supriyo’s last outing in film music was Zara Gunguna lein Chalo in Laaga Chunari Mein Dag, the 2007 dud. Sochta Hoon, the title track from his first album for which he took home the MTV award in 2003, was eerily similar to Enrique Iglesias’s Escape and his Untitled is an ode to the sound that he encounters during his frequent visits abroad. “There is an Arabic number in my new album that was quite a challenge to sing. That’s why it remains one of my most satisfying tracks from the album. Another interesting piece is a collaborative work with Vasundhara Das. She is better known for her pop numbers but here, we’ve performed a semi-classical number,” he says.
The album had become a talking point a few months ago when actress Tanushree Dutta said she would debut as a singer with it. The song—-which has lyrics by Shaan, however, didn’t make it to the final album. “Ultimately, Tanushree didn’t sing it. The song is in my bank for later use,” is all Supriyo will say about this episode.
Why Untitled? “Everybody would ask me the title of my next song. I decided against defining it by a word, hence Untitled,” says the singer who is also currently in the midst of another hot controversy-NDTV Imagine has sued him for anchoring K For Kishore on Sony. “The matter is sub-judice,” he says shortly, but adds, “I enjoy anchoring very much. The year has started on a positive note for me-a Bengali film I had acted in has completed 60 weeks and I’ve been besieged with acting proposals.” Perhaps K for Kishore is an appropriate tag for Supriyo, after all.
