Musician Mithoon, who is known to make back-to-back hits in films like AASHIQUI 2 and EK VILLAIN, says that he wants to focus on creating soulful tracks sans the hype or trend about songs!
In an interview, the singer-composer said, “It’s nice that my songs have been hit but I don’t hype my success. I don’t intend to create history or top the music charts. I don’t look at it that way and try to keep things as non-glamorous as I can. I keep it in mind while writing a song to come up with music people can connect with.
“In fact, as a film music director, I only aim at conveying the story through my music. That’s the approach I have while making music and not that I have to make the biggest song ever,” Mithoon added.
The 29-year-old artiste made his music debut in Bollywood in the film BAS EK PAL in 2006. Since then he’s given hits like ANWAR, MURDER2 and AASHIQUI 2 to name a few.
What’s more, the singer-composer revealed that he isn’t affected by the chart number once his songs are released. He said, “External factors like market requirements, trends don’t influence my music. I don’t listen to my songs once they are released. I don’t listen to songs on TV or radio to keep distractions at bay.
“People generally look at title tracks with a lot of flair but I look at it like any other track. When Mohit Suri came to me for the title track of AASHIQUI 2 I tried to keep it simple. The song ‘Tum hi ho…’ does not have much except sincere lyrics and a single melody,” said the music director.
Mithoon has also worked on Bipasha Basu-starrer upcoming film CREATURE 3D. Talking about it he revealed that he initially felt clueless about giving music in the horror film! “My first reaction was what music I will make for a horror film? How can I contribute in a movie like this but then the director told me that I need to give music for the love story between the two characters so I followed it and things became simple,” Mithoon said.
