Jagjit Singh (born February 8, 1941) is a prominent Indian Ghazal singer, composer, music director, activist and entrepreneur. Popularly known as "The Ghazal King" he gained acclaim together with his wife, another renowned Indian Ghazal singer Chitra Singh, in 1970's and 80's, as the first ever successful duo act (husband-wife) in the history of recorded Indian music. Together, they are considered to be the pioneers of modern Ghazal singing and regarded as most successful recording artistes outside the realm of Indian film music. He has sung in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati, Sindhi and Nepali languages. He was awarded India's third highest civilian honour, the Padma Bhushan, in 2003.
In the Album Inteha (2009)Jagjit Singh has pepped it up like never before. Drums are interspersed with dholak and tabla, the bassline is more distinct and the drum rolls (if you have finished rubbing your eyes, I said ‘drum rolls’) here and there take you by surprise! The new added sound elements come unexpected and this would certainly create some panic among regular fans. The cure for that would be ‘multiple hearings’ which would help restore some peace and confidence.
