‘Who knows what lies ahead…’: Arijit Singh confirms unfinished songs will release throughout the year after playback retirement

NEW DELHI: Months after announcing his retirement from playback singing, Arijit Singh has reassured fans that his voice will continue to be heard through a slate of unfinished songs set for release over the coming months.

In January, the singer announced he would no longer take up new playback assignments, a decision that left many listeners disappointed.

On January 27, he wrote on X, “Hello, Happy New Year to all. I want to thank you all for giving me so much love all these years as listeners. I am happy to announce that I am not going to be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey”.

Now, in a fresh note shared on his private X account, which he made public on Tuesday, Arijit addressed his fans directly. Thanking them for their “kindness in this ruthless world,” he clarified that while he has stopped accepting new work, he still has a considerable list of pending tracks to complete.

“There are so many unfinished songs; they are going to keep releasing until they are done. Maybe throughout this whole year. Maybe it will extend into next year too,” he wrote, adding, “Also, who knows what lies ahead?”
