The singer added that all streaming platforms and big companies are not supporting the one creating AI-generated music. “Because art should always come from within, right? It can’t be computerised,” she told Zoom. Continuing the conversation, Aastha recalled being stereotyped in her music career.

“100 per cent, I was actually stereotyped as a banger artist. Whenever I used to go to labels, they used to tell me come up with a banger. In today’s time, you cannot tell what’s a banger. A sad romantic song can also be a banger. So, banger ka definition has completely changed in today’s time. I feel Fursat is also a banger. Banger is anything that people are liking, I feel. Earlier, bangers used to be high energy party songs,” mentioned Aastha.
According to the singer, the choice of music has beocme vast and there’s a lot music. In her opinion, people are making all sorts of music now.
