After
getting
recognised
for
her
hit
peppy
numbers
like
'Baby
doll',
'Lovely'
and
'Chittiyaan
kalaiyaan',
singer
Kanika
Kapoor
says
she
will
now
sing
more
of
classical
Indian
numbers
this
year
to
popularise
the
genre
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
"I
will
bring
the
classical
music
back
very
soon...This
year
people
will
listen
more
of
it
from
me.
I
have
my
Youtube
channel
coming
up
which
will
demonstrate
some
classical
tracks
which
I'm
creating," Kanika
Kapoor
told
IANS.
The
33-year-old
singer,
who
was
here
to
shoot
the
music
video
of
localised
version
of
internationally
known
DJ
Alesso's
single
'Heroes
(We
Could
Be)',
also
said
that
the
music
trends
are
driven
by
the
listeners.
Stressing
on
the
fact
that
Indian
classical
is
her
"personal
favourite",
Kanika
said,
"It
doesn't
mean
that
people
should
like
it
too.
They
have
their
own
personal
choice
--
some
like
classical,
others
like
Sufi
-
it
all
depends
on
listeners' choice."
"People
who
like
classical
don't
like
the
commercial
tracks.
Much
of
the
Indian
listeners
are
not
aware
of
the
classical
songs
and
they
feel
happy
being
restricted
to
peppy
ones.
Music
makes
one
happy,
it
destresses
the
mind.
So,
a
typical
genre
doesn't
matter...it
should
be
dependent
on
the
listener
and
what
he
wants
to
listen," the
young
singer
added.
Kanika
Kapoor
also
said
that
the
Indian
music
market
has
widened
the
scope
for
young
singers
to
showcase
their
talent.
"Indian
music
industry
has
opened
up
to
new
singers.
It
has
widened
a
lot.
Earlier,
there
were
only
Lataji
(Lata
Mangeshkar),
Ashaji
(Asha
Bhosle)
and
Alka
Yagnikji,
but
now
listeners
look
forward
to
listen
to
new
singers,"
she
added.
However,
she
feels
that
the
dominance
of
film
music
has
made
it
tough
for
singers
to
come
out
with
their
own
singles.
Recently,
Kanika
Kapoor
received
a
positive
response
for
her
singles
'Chhil
Gaye
Naina' and
'Desi
Look',
and
soon
she
will
be
seen
cheering
up
for
the
Indian
cricket
team,
who
are
currently
vying
the
ICC
Cricket
World
Cup
2015
in
Australia,
with
her
Hindi
version
of
the
song
'Heroes
(We
Could
Be)',
to
be
released
by
Universal
Music
India.
Talking
about
the
track,
Kanika
added,
"It's
a
fun
version
of
the
song
that
we
have
made
for
our
cricket
team.
It
will
give
moral
support
and
strength
to
them.
I
hope
that
India
retains
the
World
Cup."
