The best of KK: From ‘Aankhon Mein Teri’ to ‘Tuhi Meri Shab Hai’
The Hindu
Looking back at some of the finest songs sung by KK, who died in Kolkata on Tuesday night, aged 53
One of the finest voices of our time fell silent last night.
KK was an exceptional singer, with a voice that was more of a throwback to the melodious era of film music than the digital era of cover versions. He was fortunate that he was active at a time when Bollywood and regional cinema still came up with melodies.
The Hindu rewinds some of his best songs:
Aankhon Mein Teri... (Om Shanti Om)
If we were to pick Bollyood’s best songs of the new millennium, this gorgeous melody from the 2007 film would surely make the list. The song demanded a voice that dipped romance in every note, and KK provided that.
Deepika Padukone’s fresh-faced innocence on her debut, and Shah Rukh Khan’s expressions gave the song, composed by the gifted duo of Vishal-Shekhar, the visuals it deserved.
