The popular singer, songwriter, and rapper behind iconic songs like Maan Meri Jaan, King rose to popularity in 2019 after MTV India’s Hustle. Today, he is known for countless popular albums and chart-hitting singles. In this episode of Tere Gully Mein, our host and Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, cruised around with him and discussed everything from music to his perspective on life.
This Is How King Decides Which Songs To Release
Kamiya discussed King’s new single ‘Stay’ and how it is currently trending on YouTube. She asked him how he makes his songs, what’s his process and how he decides on which songs make the cut and get released. King revealed that he prefers to make music that everyone likes. He has several things that he knows are working and he just puts them together and plays them for his team. As long as his room of people likes the music, he works on releasing it, even if it’s a big risk.
Kamiya asks him what happens when there’s a song that he likes a lot but the room doesn’t. He shared that he won’t release it. He completely trusts the opinion and expertise of his team and also depends on it. They know what’s right and what’s wrong, correct or incorrect. And they know whether something is going to work or not.
Why He Treats Some Songs As Singles Over Others
When it comes to music, the likes and dislikes of the audience are subjective. King revealed that although “Delulu Dancing” is his favourite song, it doesn’t have 100,000 streams. This is why songs like “Stay” are chosen as singles; he understands what the audience will listen to. He believes that it is about putting your personal choices aside and deciding what the country will want to listen to.
King also revealed that there is a track in the pipeline that is very dear to him. But the room currently finds the song to be too urban. So, he’s waiting for the right time. He will keep working on it until it’s perfect for the room. Only a few people he trusts the most get to hear King’s unreleased music. Once he gets approval from them, the song is ready to be released for the audience.
