New Delhi, Feb 3: He had the listeners grooving to his songs in the 1990s, but Britain-based Punjabi singer Malkit Singh is saddened by the current state of the music industry in India. He feels that artists have the power to drive youth, but they are no longer offering anything meaningful to youngsters.
"It's a very sad thing. If we talk about youngsters, they will only listen to what we give them. They are not fools that they will hear mindless things. They like those songs because the artists are not getting anything meaningful," Singh told Ians in an interview.
"I feel that an artist has the power to drive the youth. But, if the same artist is not producing anything meaningful and is just concentrating on mixing etc.,.

Well, just as we were recovering from the super success of the Tongues of Fire Festival - London was ablaze with the glory of Abhishek, Jaya Bachchan, Om Puri, Shyam Benegal and the gracious Sharmila Tagore and Soha Ali Khan - it was time to get our party gear on for the Asian Music Awards held at the Royal Festival Hall.
The great and good of the British Asian Music Industry gyrated in all their glory - Jay Sean, Mumzy, Jaz Dhamy, Malkit Singh, Imran Khan to name a few. But the one person that stole the show was the Bollytastic Sophie Chaudhary. She hosted and performed with true Bollywood style and sizzled on stage. London born Sophie is probably one of the only Nri's who has single handily carved a niche for herself in Bolly La La Land - and her new album rocks!
It's been a quiet week release wise - nothing!
