“It felt right to make my comeback with my dad’s song, ‘Woh Beete Din’”, says Tanya Kumar who will soon be making a comeback to music

Remember Tanya Singh Kumar? Yes, the daughter of the late Ajit Singh who made her debut back in 1993 with the film Aaja Mere Jaan alongside Kirshan Kumar. Well since then Tanya has come a long way, from featuring on television to even venturing into music. But, Tanya has been away from the limelight. However, things are all set to change with Singh making a comeback to music with a recreation of her father Ajit Singh’s track ‘Woh Beete Din’.

Revealing her calling to develop the track and make a comeback to music, Tanya revealed that the entire process was like a calling. “My father passed on in 2020 very suddenly. But sometime in December ‘21, I started getting this ‘calling’ again. Almost as if my dad is pushing me to ‘do it’. All my friends and family started pushing me to start, especially my masi Sapna Morarji in Pune, who would actually call or text me every morning to check how much progress I’ve made with my training and music. So I started my vocal Riaz at home by myself, experimenting for long hours every day, to find my voice once again. I had recorded another track first, but then it only felt right to make my comeback with my dad’s song, ‘Woh Beete Din’ just like I made my debut with it in 2000.”

Ask Tanya for details about the track and she adds, “A song I have literally grown up listening to at home, composed by my father Ajit Singh and written by my mom Gittanjali Singh, ‘Woh Beete Din’ is very close to my heart. We have revisited it and re-programmed it with a house /EDM vibe & also added a new verse. I was looking for a new sound and someone who would have the tuning to understand what I want, and I feel blessed that my brother made me meet Jeff Hunt, who has done full justice. We are also lucky to have got the maestro Kalyan Baruah to play the guitars, which are such an asset to the sound and vibe of the song.”

Further talking about the track and the journey it was to develop it Tanya shed light on the same saying, “It was a very beautiful one! Like a trip down memory lane! Right from laying the first IT, to seeing it change with every added track, to getting my brother Arhhan to sing the male adlibs, to my mom spontaneously writing the new lines.  Also, Convincing Jeff to give a go at mixing and mastering it ourselves, since he had all the tools & sensibility to do it. It took a month of edits and re-edits, but we finally did it! We’ve had many arguments among us, especially my sister Nattasha, who has given a few great suggestions in the music edit. Even Jeff’s father John Hunt was a blessing, being there at all the recordings and mixing sessions. The best part has been that every single day that we worked on ‘Woh Beete Din’, it was almost like my dad Ajit Singh was there with us, guiding us & making us do it His way. We all could feel it!!! He left me a legacy and he wants me to take it forward! His genes and passion for Music and I wish to make Him proud up there.”

As for the process of re-envisioning the track for modern music tastes, and how the long process took Tanya continues, “Well, the composition was already there, so we started working on the music arrangement sometime in April and recorded it in May end. We used to jam almost every day for more than a month to get the feel and vibe of the music to what it is. In a few of our sessions my mom, sisters & brother were there too, and we decided to add a fresh verse... and my mom just closed her eyes for a few minutes, and then wrote something and said “try these lines” and that is the opening ad-lib & new verse -‘Itne Kareeb hoke tum…’”
