Singer Shaan is set to accompany 30 musicians — including Shreya Ghoshal, Armaan Malik, Raftaar, and Sachin-Jigar, among others — in MTV’s World Music Day concert, Lift Up, which will see artistes perform their favourite songs, and share anecdotes on tracks that helped lift their spirits during the pandemic.

“In keeping with the occasion, I will include songs with world music influence. Today, we have access to different kinds of music. If I want to know what kind of music is heard in Morocco or Romania, I can access it; that is exciting. Also, listeners have opened up their minds to different genres,” he says. As one who has seen music being created since the 70s — when songs were rendered in lavish sets in the presence of 100 musicians — to watching tracks being made in studios set up at home, it’s been a long journey for Shaan. “We’ve gone from cut and paste, to fix and treat. As long as one can maintain a certain quality, adapting to change is not hard.”
Meanwhile, in a bid to serenade his fans for Father’s Day on June 20, Shaan is set to exploit an emotion that’s far too familiar for every child. “The song is about how our parents are always there for us. Once we find our wings, and fly, we become so busy looking after our nuclear family that we often forget that our parents may have no one to keep them company. This song is about a son facing the same dilemma — being unable to be with his father when it is needed the most,” says Shaan of the track, Main toh tera hissa hoon, in which he is accompanied by son Shubh.
