Renowned singer Papon has paid homage to the legendary ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh by recreating his iconic song Sadma on Singh’s 84th birth anniversary. The heartfelt tribute retains the soul of the original while infusing Papon’s distinctive style, ensuring that the song continues to resonate with both long-time admirers and a younger audience.
Jagjit Singh’s music has had a profound impact on generations of listeners, and Papon acknowledges this influence. “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,” he said.
Originally penned by celebrated poet Qateel Shifai, Sadma is cherished for its deep emotions and poetic beauty. Papon’s reinterpretation preserves its haunting essence while offering a fresh perspective, bridging the gap between past and present. “Recreating Sadma is my humble tribute to him, a way of saying thank you for the magic he gave us,” Papon added.
Beyond this tribute, Papon has been actively performing worldwide and recently released Room Khali Hai, the second track from his album Pura Asmaan. With his latest endeavor, he continues to celebrate the legacy of great artists while introducing timeless music to new generations.
