7 Feb
Summary
- Independent music offers greater creative and financial opportunities for artists.
- Balancing Bollywood and independent music is crucial for holistic artist growth.
- Armaan Malik plans a 'rebirth' with new music and more vulnerability.

Armaan Malik, a prominent singer, has observed a significant shift in India's music industry, noting that independent music is increasingly offering more excitement and financial rewards compared to Bollywood playback singing. He stated that the independent scene now presents "unprecedented creative and financial opportunities."
Despite this evolution, Malik emphasizes that Bollywood remains vital, and true long-term success for Indian artists lies in effectively balancing both spheres. He believes neither industry should overshadow the other, as both are essential for an artist's "holistic growth."
Looking ahead, Malik is anticipating a "rebirth" after 18 years in the industry. He plans to release approximately 15 unreleased English songs, potentially forming an album by early next year. This new phase will focus on vulnerability, honesty, and deeper artistic intention.
Malik's upcoming work will include more live performances and a stronger emphasis on visual and sonic direction to convey his authentic personality. He anticipates new music releases starting mid-year, making 2026 an "exciting" period for his career.
