Putting it mildly...

Sonu Niigaam is back. This time with an album titled Classically Mild. Sonu, who's known for his vibrant singing, tries his hand at something new and succeeds immensely.
But, what prompted him to work on an album that's based on classical music, considering the fact that remix songs are the order of the day? "If singers like me don't do something for classical music, then who will? We want people to carry on with our music, but if we don't support it, then how can we expect anyone to do it for us?" he questions.
Speaking about the album, Sonu says, "The music and the lyrics of this album are soulful and I am sure that anyone who hears it will love it."
But isn't it difficult to get youngsters to listen to classical music? "Like the name suggests, this album is based on classical music but only mildly. We are not going to bore people. Nowadays, music makers tend to pass off anything by claiming 'that's what the audience wants'. But that's only because you give the audience a choice between bad and worse. Give them something nice and they'll appreciate it. That's my firm belief," states Sonu.
