Shreya Ghoshal: Singing is Like Painting

Playback singer Shreya Ghoshal, a five-time National Award winner, has shared insights into her unique singing technique. She describes her approach as highly visual, likening each song to a painting with its own palette of colors. Ghoshal explained that she often visualizes choreography and abstract actors in her mind, even when recording or performing live. This internal cinematic experience aids in conveying the song's emotion and expressive lyrics through her voice and stage presence. She noted that this method is significantly enhanced by her photographic memory.

Her 'All Hearts Tour' live album, recently released by Sony Music India, showcases this artistic dedication. Ghoshal believes that music is a divine craft capable of branching into diverse styles, with melody at its core. Her commitment to visualizing every aspect of a song allows her to imbue her performances with a remarkable depth of expression.
