Set to release his awaited debut album, although grateful for audience love, Badshah says listeners are unforgiving because they're spoilt for choice

Can you talk about how you conceptualised ONE (Original Never Ends)?
I always wanted to make an album. It didn't matter if the 'trend' of creating albums was a thing of the past. There are 17 songs in this offering, and not one of them is treated as an option. I didn't want to make an album merely for the sake of doing so. I want to entertain my fans by giving them songs that they can cherish. Though, I fear, some of the songs might not see their full potential.
If you have that fear, why come up with a 17-song album?
Initially, there were 30 songs. It was difficult to eliminate numbers but I had to do it. This album will be unlike my previous work. It doesn't only include dance numbers. As an artiste, I've matured while making it. It harbours various emotions that people will connect with across the tracks.
