When I started, I would sing every song offered, now I am cautious
Many chartbusters later, Asees Kaur says she still gets nervous before a song release. “I get the jitters, and I can’t sleep a day before it. This nervousness will go on till my last song,” laughs the singer.
But after all these years, does she still choose songs the same way she did, when she just started off? The Raataan Lambiyan (Shershaah; 2021) and Tere Bin (Simmba; 2018) singer denies, “When I started, I was not choosing songs, to be honest. I was not in a position to select them, so I was taking up all the songs I was offered to sing. NowIama little cautious while choosing any project. I should connect with the song in some way or the other. If I feel the emotion, only then I can convey it to the listeners. That’s my only criteria for choosing a song.” We further ask how important is the money offered to her. Will she sing a song only for it? “Nahin. The thing is while choosing a good song, money is never the criteria; we don’t discuss about it. If I like the song, I will do it. If I don’t like it, I quote such a big amount that you are not able to afford it. I am just kidding! That’s not the case. Money is never involved while picking up a project. It just has to be good, that’s all,” she says.
She recently came out with her new single, Boli Tujhse. “People have showered a lot of love, they are loving the vocals. It’s a beautiful melody, you can’t help but fall in love with it,” she gushes.
