Chandigarh 28th August:- Gaining massive popularity in USA as solo singer of
Western music including Jazz, Pop, Rock, and Alternative, the San Jose-based
16-years old singer-lyricist of Indian origin Someya is all poised to make her
entry into the Bollywood with her latest album “ Gold ”.
What differ Someya’s song albums is the fact that they are
story-telling in nature thus keeping listeners engrossed to it with the tag
of what next (?) attached to them. Someya plans to create a
new musical era in India by entering into the Bollywood with the story-telling
albums. Soon she will also start performing live all across India.
In a release here, Someya said her Alt-Rock genre would be
different from the existing ones in India as the Indian Jazz, Pop and Rock are
not thematic in a sense as they do not tell original stories that have
interesting plots.
According to Someya, though a large number of international
artists currently are exploring India as their musical zones, they are not
doing something different which she plans for the Bollywood in
particular and Indian music industry as a whole.
Someya plans to add special effects in the Alt-Rock songs of the
Bollywood movies based on their stories. This will not only be a marked
departure from the traditional songs of the films but keep the viewers interest
alive as the film scenes go by with special songs that narrate the story of the
film as well.
This young American sensation who attended two years of summer
programs at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, said that she is
absolutely interested in exploring the Bollywood and Indian music industry by
infusing into it my own flavor of western music.
Growing up in California and exposed to Western music since
she was a child, Someya who has already established herself in the USA with her
story-telling Alt-Rock albums. The “Gold” is an example of it.
It is story-telling in“Gold” that made it popular in USA.
Someya believes a space is lying vacant in the
Bollywood as far as the Alt-Rock is concerned and she wants to fill it.
The Alt-Rock had been popular in India for several decades now.
However, it had been on the decline after 1990s as the rock-singers could not
break the stereotypes.
Though there are several rock-bands in India, they are
concentrated mostly in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Kolkata and North
Eastern states of India. The Alt-Rock, Someya says, has vast scope in India as
the country has one of the largest numbers of youth population of the world.
They would like story-telling ballad-type albums with adifference like “Gold”.
If the American youth liked the story-telling genre in “Gold”, why
would not Indian youth like them too? Questioning this, Someya said most of the
Alt-Rock music has preponderance of Jazzy music. If stories are woven in such
musical presentations that will evoke interest among the listeners as such
stories would have the element of what next?
This story-telling genre would certainly marks the beginning of
a new Jazzy musical trend in India and the Indian youth would like them very
much. Someya credits the story-telling in “Gold” that made its
global acceptance. She said the Bollywood should focus more on Alt-Rock for the
youth-centric movies to come.
Asked to explain what story-telling Alt-Rock means, Someya said
exemplifying “Gold”that a song would have mass acceptance if it
revolves round a story. “Gold” is a love song that imagines a
relationship with a perfect person.
“Gold” alludes to various aspects of man-woman relationship
including insanity in love, possessiveness-jealousy, unrealistic expectations
from the partner, love, betray and passion. This sort of songs would ideally
suit the Bollywood films revolving round the man-woman relationship.
Someya said most of her music albums including This
Flame, You Saved Me, This Flame, Intoxicated, When I Spoke Your Name, When
I Am Not Around and I’am Not Coming were woven around a story. The
stories enhance the intrinsic value of the song albums.
Someya’s next video is “Near Me”. After that,
she will be working on a major video production for an upcoming single, which
is going to be one to keep an eye on as it will be cinematic and moving.
