Mumbai: Renowned singer Papon has released his latest song, Sadma, a soul-stirring tribute to the legendary Jagjit Singh on his birth anniversary. Originally composed and sung by the ghazal maestro himself, the song has been reinterpreted by Papon, who infuses it with his signature depth and emotion while staying true to its classic essence.
Written by celebrated poet Qateel Shifai, Sadma is a timeless composition that resonates deeply with lovers of ghazals and poetic expression. By recreating this masterpiece, Papon not only pays homage to Jagjit Singh but also introduces his music to a new generation of listeners.
Sharing his thoughts on the release, Papon expressed his deep admiration and personal connection to the maestro’s music: “Jagjit Singh Ji has been an eternal inspiration for me and countless music lovers. His voice was not just about melody—it was about storytelling, about evoking emotions that stay with you forever. I grew up listening to his ghazals, and his music has shaped my understanding of depth and soul in singing. Recreating Sadma is my humble tribute to him, a way of saying thank you for the magic he gave us. I have tried to keep the essence of the song intact while bringing my own interpretation to it. I hope listeners feel the same warmth and nostalgia that I felt while recording it.”
With its evocative melody and profound lyrics, Sadma is more than just a song—it’s a celebration of Jagjit Singh’s unmatched artistry and his everlasting impact on Indian music.
Sadma by Papon is now out on Sufiscore’s YouTube Channel.
On the work front, Papon is currently busy with global live performances and recently released the second song Room Khali Hai from his album Pura Asmaan.
