In a conversation with Sapan Verma, singer Shaan remarked on the current trend in music, noting that audiences today seem to prefer simple, minimalist songs. He observed that even singers tend to adopt a laid-back style, implying that showing too much enthusiasm or interest might actually decrease listeners’ engagement. Shaan humorously mimicked a singer’s tone, suggesting that the prevailing attitude is casual, almost as if saying, “I’m singing like this, if you like it, you like it” (‘Main toh aisi ga raha tha, tujhe pasand aaya toh aaya’).

He noted that songs with billions of views today often thrive on their rawness and authenticity. He reminisced about a time when aspiring artists had to impress music companies, which demanded polished performances and training. Shaan humorously imagined how such companies would react to the relaxed, casual style of modern singers, joking that they might think the singer was under the influence.One Reddit user reacted to this, saying, “I can’t listen to them, so unbearable. Feels like they’re sleepy while singing.” Another wrote, “These Gen Z singers are a cold mess, I tell you.” Finally, another added, “He smiles with his whole face! Loved him as the host on Sa Re Ga Ma, like a burst of sunshine.”
At the same time, Shaan’s fans shared their nostalgic feelings in the comments, reminiscing about growing up with his music from the early 2000s.
