'Waqt Par Bolna’ contains emotions, harmony and music that I believe every individual will cherish. The album has been created by musicians from various backgrounds. It is creative, different and a mix of east and west.” says Hariharan.
When he asked about the reality shows, he says, the artists who are performing in these show are on the way to their goals, and they have to be trained properly before taking the singing as profession and have to create their own style, but unfortunately they are imitating other singers and this is like living with our own body with some one else’s soul. That is the reason why they won’t exist for long time. First an artist should make his own identity.
Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, SONY BMG India, added “It has been our privilege to be associated with Hariharan and his brand new album – ‘Waqt Par Bolna’ . He is undoubtedly one of the most respected and versatile artists in the music fraternity today. With his new album he has created music that is awe-inspiring and spellbinding. We are sure it will leave his countless fans asking for more.”
