Poet Rajev Paul disillusioned with FM radio stations and music TV channels.. Read to know why

Rajev Paul
Actor turned poet Rajev Paul who has just released a five song album Mumbai Mohabbat Aur Tanhai with a video Ulja Sa Rehta Hun, based on his book (same as album name) in collaboration with Universal Music is disillusioned with FM radio stations and music TV channels, as they don’t promote non film music. Says the actor, “It is very sad they only play film music for they get paid for the same. We are called for interviews, but when we ask them to play our music they refuse.” “I hope radio allots some non-prime time slots for private music as well. Even music channels should allot dedicated time slot bands for videos, as this is the only way in which non film music can survive. This very important genre of music is in doldrums, for there is no viable monetary option. Physical sale of CD’s is zilch, here TV and radio can create an environment where our work is promoted and people feel encouraged to at least download ringtones.” Rajev feels that he is voicing this issue not only to help himself, but also for several other singers as well. “Being an actor I have a certain social standing which will help to create a certain buzz around my product. But what about other new singers? Who will give them the much needed push? Reality shows throw up a large number of singers, but what will happen to them after the show is over. Not everybody can become playback singers. Cutting non film albums is a one credible option for them to showcase their talent before the world. You keep saying there is no new talent, but if you don’t give them the platform, what will they do?” Valid point and well-put, Rajev!!
