By far, the biggest news of the week across the Indian music industry was Arijit Singh’s announcement that he is “not going to be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on”. Singh is widely regarded as the most popular singer in India, and is the top artist across most DSPs operating in the country. This, in fact, was one of the main reasons the artist-investors behind Goongoonalo say they developed the newly-launched app. Singh, incidentally, is among the 50 acts whose music will be available on the platform. The following year, he made his debut as a music director with the soundtrack of the Hindi film Pagglait.
