Veteran singer Rekha Bhardwaj reflects on the delicate balance between sensuality and dignity in music, using her experience with the song Thaal from His Story Of Itihaas as an example. She credits her husband, composer Vishal Bhardwaj, for helping her rediscover her playful side while maintaining the song’s cultural richness. Rekha argues that true artistry lies in aesthetics—how a song carries itself—rather than just its surface themes.
Editor’s Note: In an era where music often gets reduced to debates about boldness vs. propriety, Rekha’s perspective is refreshing. She’s reminding us that artistry isn’t about binaries—it’s about nuance. For musicians and listeners alike, this is a nudge to appreciate the craft behind a song, not just its vibe or lyrics. Plus, it’s always cool to hear how collaboration (and a little spousal push!) can reignite creativity.
