Record speed!

Lata Mangeshkar records a song in 15 minutes, surprising even herself

Lata Mangeshkar is a perfectionist and it took everyone by surprise when she recorded a song for her upcoming album Saadgi in 15 minutes flat at a recording studio in London. The album is being produced by her own company Swaranjali and will be released by T Series.

Lata Mangeshkar says, "We had taken the track of the song with us to London as I had to be there for the auction of our jewellery brand, a charity event for a NGO Pratham and for the earthquake relief fund. I had to record the song and I thought that since I'd be in London, we would record it there. I had never imagined that I would be able to record the song in as little as 15 minutes. Anyway, nowadays I usually record a song in 30-40 minutes, thanks to the experience I've had over the years. I had my own doubts about this song as the studio was new for me and the recordist was someone who I was working with for the first time. But the song was done immediately."

She further says, "I never expected it to happen, although in the past I have finished songs quickly. Yet, recording in 15 minutes is something out of the ordinary."

Saadgi is Lata Mangeshkar €˜s album which will come after a gap of seventeen long years and will be released on June 21 worldwide.

Wow
that's fast
thanks
can't wait for album

Kumar Sanu once recorded 28 songs in a day. He must have spent time eating, traveling, and also sleeping, so let's assume he spent 14 hours recording. Which would mean he spent 30 mins on average per song - consistently.

I have been watching the promo of a Lata Mageshkar music video for the last couple of days on TV.. and dont know if its the same album....

I am sorry to say, but all these legends should actually retire knowing that the voice does not remain the same all the times... She was not sounding good in that song at all
