As a child of the early 2000s, I grew up with the melodious voices of Shaan and KK echoing through my radio, filling my heart with joy and my soul with their enchanting tunes. Their songs were more than just music to me; they were a part of my life’s soundtrack.
Back in the 2000s, Shaan and KK were two singers I absolutely adored. Just the other day, Shaan shared a fascinating tidbit about his interaction with KK. He recounted proposing that KK infuse more “heroic” tones into his voice to land bigger singing gigs. Yet, KK humbly turned down this advice every time. What struck me most, though, was when Shaan praised KK for his genuine nature, stating it’s what makes him resonate so deeply with the Gen Z crowd.
During a heartfelt chat on The Ranveer Show, host Ranveer Allahbadia delved into Shaan’s relationship and opinions about KK. In recollection of their past interactions with the deceased artist, Shaan mentioned that KK possessed an authentic vocal quality. However, he also pointed out that KK seemed to lack a certain flair or dramatic panache, which limited his chances to sing more songs for leading actors in the film industry. Although he had sung for actors like Emraan Hashmi, opportunities to work with top-tier stars were scarce for KK.
Referring back to what he stated, he mentioned, “KK even more so. I found it effortless to engage in ‘filmy’ singing, considering the hero’s persona and infusing some extravagance into my act. KK consistently maintained an air of honesty in his singing approach. Perhaps the extravagance was not as prominent.
The singer known as Chaar Kadam acknowledged that KK sang a few tracks for Emraan Hashmi, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan, but their collaborations were limited. He often advised KK to infuse more heroic qualities into his vocal style, to which KK humbly responded that he was content with his own singing approach.
Runveer shared thoughts with Shaan about how KK and him have vocal tones that seem to appeal more to Generation Z. Shaan concurred, pointing out that KK enjoyed a greater level of popularity and was sought after by a larger number of younger fans due to the fact that listeners tend to identify strongly with KK’s voice.
He explained that the upcoming composers preferred KK’s singing for them over ours, as they found it more relatable. They didn’t consider it excessively flamboyant or extravagant. Instead, his voice had a rawness to it, an authenticity, and a rock music style that was popular and mainstream during that time.
Known as KK, Krishnakumar Kunnath first appeared as a playback singer on October 25, 1996, with the song ‘Chhod Aaye Hum’ from Maachis. Since then, he became famous for hits such as ‘Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe’ from Dil Chahta Hai (2001), ‘Dus Bahane’ from Dus (2005), ‘Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai’ from Gangster: A Love Story (2006), ‘Khuda Jane’ from Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), and ‘Tu Jo Mila’ from Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) among others.
On May 31, 2022, the well-known performer died following a heart attack during a show in Kolkata at the age of 53.
