Amaal Mallik says Rock music has already made its comeback

Mumbai, Aug 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Music composer Amaal Mallik, who has composed the song ‘Yeh Awarapan’ from the upcoming Emraan Hashmi-starrer ‘Awarapan 2’, feels that the rock genre has made a massive comeback after more than a decade.

The composer spoke with IANS during the promotions of the film, and said that a composer should always focus on a good melody, and then retrofit the genre as per the demand of the song.

 

He told IANS, “I think rock music has already made a comeback. With ‘Yeh Awarapan’, having Arijit Singh croon a rock anthem this year, I think many people will also believe that the genre is back and we should do it. In 2007, early 2000s to 2011, rock music, rock bands were going around the world. Somewhere after that, even music became very electronic”.

He further mentioned, “I have also done a lot of songs like ‘Suraj Dooba Hai’, ‘100 Asmaan’ which were EDM. But never leave the melody quotient. At least for me, in my journey, I have tried to make the sound extravagant, new age, hip-hop, EDM. Your melody should reach the heart. That is my requirement. Take the most upbeat song in my career like ‘Suraj Dooba Hai’, even if you remove all the beats, this is not a club track melody. This is a good melody”.

Earlier, the composer had shared that he didn’t want to make the song very heavy on programming. He said that that the title of the song came with so much depth that he wanted to contrast the poetry with light musical texture.

He earlier told IANS, “When the word is so deep, ‘Aawarapan’, it cannot be defined with one thing. In Aawarapan, there is a lot of happiness in this song. There is a lot of realization, there is introspection, there is a feeling of sitting and talking to yourself in the song. Sometimes it feels like you are telling your story to a friend”.

“There are such words in the song. When you sit with someone, you tell him that I have lost the journey of my life. It sounds like you are narrating your story. So, the lyrics are very conversational but deep”, he added.
