Melody enriches life. The sweet hum in the lullaby sung by the mother soothes the baby to sleep. Many hospitals also carry on surgeries by tuning on to mild instrumental music. Soul stirring music can be found in various styles. Music categories seem to be have new inclusions with remix versions from retro beats. There is reggae, rap, techno, classical, retro and the disco culture to choose from. Music uplifts the mind to a higher extent and is the best form of recreation.
Hindi songs are basically related to Bollywood or Indian film songs. The retro styles of the classical era were very evolving. Everything from arrangement, rendition and recording was about simplicity. Folk music was the base in the cinema though in parallel there were great borrowings from the classical Hindustani gharanas. The thumri, ghazal, devotional songs and the geet are different forms of Hindi songs.
Modern trends are more about capturing the essence of old Hindi songs. The quality of good music is kept alive by many accomplished musicians who are shelving great Hindi music for the audience to enjoy. The culture of Radio wherein one could sleep tuning to Bela ke phool is now replaced with yuppie radio jockeys in FM channels. This is equally enjoyable as they converse intelligently and also play good Hindi music.
Solo albums as well as Hindi group bands go for launching their new songs with video effect. Hence there is also an improvement noticed in the fashion quotient, glamour, advertisement and projection of the bands which were earlier subtle. Bollywood dance styles are also getting at par with modern trends that are required with the hip hop numbers that are churned out with new films.
Hindi songs from the yesteryears are a great collection. The artists of the golden era are still appreciated and it is lovely to watch competitors in music shows emulate their role models. Original scores are now doctored into remix versions which is also respected as an art form. The Oscar felicitation truly makes us sing the ´Jai Ho´ number.
