The practice sessions, however, wouldn’t be as simple as Suchak had anticipated. “She told me I had to be a professional because she wouldn’t be tuning my voice or using any software. Even if she did, she said it would be minimal. On my first trip to scout for locations for a film, I was singing the song everywhere to perfect it. At the time, I was not sure if I’d finally sing, because she said that would depend on how well I performed,” he says of the track that was shot across several picturesque locations. 

He credits Sharma’s evolution as a singer-producer for the quality of the numbers. “The way she fuses genres to create new [songs] is amazing. It’s her expertise. I have seen her grow. When she does her riyaaz, she also teaches me, and tells me where to hold back, or [propel my voice].” Ask her if future collaborations will ensue, and Sharma light-heartedly says it “depends on how well he performs”. “He is confident about expressing himself as a vocalist. I’m sure there will be more to come.”
