Sometime back it was showering Himesh Reshammiya all over, with one album following the other. With the emergence of Himesh, Bollywood music industry was suddenly flooded with hits. But now singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya is seeking a break and wants to cut down on his work. Recently he has refused many films for playback singing and composing, sending shockwave in the industry, leading filmmakers to panic.

Himesh has rejected more than 15-16 films. Everybody has been wondering why Himesh has decided to cut down works drastically. The reason is that Himesh has decided to slow down and give more priority to quality rather than quantity. He will be taking up only three films in the coming year. He says that cutting down on work will only boost his career.

This is a stunning decision for someone who is at the peak of his career. Wonder why? Inside sources reveal that there’s something up the composer’s sleeve, likely to be a big project.

Reshammiya is about to change his style…. Undoubtedly today’s hottest composer Himesh Reshammiya clears the air about all controversies in an interview with Subhash K Jha.

Q: You’re the first composer since Nadeem Shravan to sell a film to the audience.
A: I don’t think the music can make a film sell. But yes, people do go to see my songs these days. I’m trying to work hard. But I can’t be responsible for a film’s success or failure. I’ve control over the music, not the way the music is used.

From my side I’ve to make sure that every song of mine works. Last year I had a bank of 500-600 songs. Today I’ve 1000 tunes are ready. My focus is on melody.

Q: You’ve patented that sufi-rock sound of Aashiq banaaya and Janaab-e-jani … A: I’m about to change that style ….in the next two to three months. I know it has become a successful formula. But I can’t be stuck to one style. When I was doing predominantly Indian styles in Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya and Tere Naam, they said I cannot do any other style.

Then I entered a new phase with Just chill and Nikamma …These connected big time with the young crowds. In barely a few months I shifted to the sound of Aahiq banaya aapne.

I now want to combine world music and Indian melodies. Today’s target audience is 22 and below. I now want to aim at an audience that’s slightly older.
