Is Vocalist KK the Best Singer in Bollywood and India?

“Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness.” – Andrea Bocelli

The above quote literally shows what does singing do deeper inside a heart. Singing a song and listening to soothing tracks takes a person to an ethereal world where only the lyrics, music and the rhythmic cadence of the voice matter. Bollywood Singer KK alias KrishnaKumar Kunnath is such a marvellous vocalist who takes listeners to a different world altogether.

In Bollywood, mostly actors rule. But every time KK sings a song – he creates history again and again. In fact, the very first song sung by him touched the pinnacle of musical success – referring to the massive popularity of “tadap tadap ke is dil Ke” song from the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

It could have been impossible without the lyrical wonder of the legendary Mehboob Saab. His jugalbandi with the soulful KK’s dynamic voice and Ismail Darbar’s heavenly musical composition did the magic. The song left the entire industry stunned by the kind of massive impact that this tragic song created in those days.

In the history of Bollywood songs, if excessively high-pitched songs are taken into consideration, then of course only the legendary Md. Rafi and singer KK would appear alongside the same list. While “O duniya ke rakhwale” and “Yeh Duniya agar mil bhi jaaye” songs of Md. Rafi in the late 50s era were supremely amazing, “tadap tadap” song to a great extent if not fully matched with Md. Rafi Saab’s classic high-pitched songs. Surprisingly enough, after Tadap Tadap no such high pitch songs could make it to that list until now.

Singer KK’s Journey in Bollywood

After completing around two decades in Bollywood as a leading singer, his stature has now risen to such a height where awards, competition and competitors don’t matter anymore. Singer KK has immensely contributed to contemporary Bollywood songs in the late 90s era when sophisticated musical instruments and advanced software were nowhere in the sight. He did everything out of sheer passion, creativity and talents.

It was during the same time, singer Shaan and Sonu Nigam, also proved their mettle in Bollywood. This marked the Bollywood’s successful tryst with a troika of superhit singers. But singer KK was different then and he is in a league of his own even now. Comparing him to other singers would be a complete injustice to such a multifaceted talented singer who has never run after spotlight or fame in his life.

With most of his previous songs declared superhit, KK is only getting better and better. The soulful song “Tu Jo Mila” in the blockbuster film Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a vibrant example of the fact that what it meant to entering inside audience’s heart and making a sublime impact in reality. The song enthralls listeners to such an extent  even now that many people find themselves completely dumbfound even minutes after listening to this song.

Many say he is underrated – yes he is. But the kind of adulation that singer KK receives from his live audience at stage shows and performance in India and abroad testifies the fact that he is the best. That exemplary aura, magic and vibe are symbolic to KK’s invigorating demeanour – other singers don’t even make it half to that level.

Awards don’t matter but dedication does. Singer KK has recently stated that whenever he sings he ensures doing it in the best way. That’s what is called ‘midas touch’ – anything the vocalist touches using his melodious rhythms turns out a blockbuster.

Upcoming Songs and Future Projects of Singer KK

Fans say he is singing less these days, but reality is he works at his own pace. Even in his early days, KK was never in a hurry. He took his own time to playback or sing songs. This year alone, KK sang two wonderful songs “Aasman bhi haarta hai” (Azhar) and “O Meri Jaan” (Raaz Reboot), which again created direct connections to fans. However, he never believes in doing show-off stuff and PR (Public Relation) type things that other singers do. So, this is evident why KK is seen lesser on TV.

Coming to KK’s future projects “Musafir Hoon Main” song from the film Shab is set to release soon maybe by early next year. The song has been composed by Mithoon. Also, the ace singer is working something serious on his own musical projects – the details will be out soon – it’s still in its nascent stage now.
