Men who pen entire verses for Bollywood songs ask the music industry for only one thing, their name on the credit alongside their work
Listen to this article :
Varun Grover
As Varun Grover lists names of songs that have been uploaded online without crediting the lyricists, he makes certain to acknowledge the singers and composers affiliated with each one of them, whether or not those details are vital during our interaction. While the lyricist is unwilling to let that piece of information slip even during a telephonic conversation, streaming platforms and music labels, on the other hand, have been uploading his songs on their platforms without acknowledging him.
It is for himself, and the several other industry lyricists who have received the short end of the stick, that Grover is now putting up a fight. "We are making an official appeal through the Screenwriters Association, which is the body that represent lyricists as well, and have sent it to music companies. This is a problem that can immediately be attended to," says the writer, who took the issue to social media after a streaming platform recently uploaded the songs of Ankhon Dekhi (2013) without crediting him as lyricist.
