Vocals and musical style
editIn an interview with The Times of India, Singh mentioned that he has a "natural voice" and said he did nothing special to maintain it.[172] He has described his voice as "nasal" and believes that it matches with all the actors.[173] Shekhar Ravjiani of the music director duo Vishal–Shekhar wrote that Singh's "vocal texture is brilliant. The way he emotes and the soul he puts into each song is exemplary."[174] India Today describes his voice as "raw and grainy", whereas the paper's Moeena Halim identifies his voice as soulful and baritone,[175][176] while the International Business Times considers his voice "soothing".[177] Koimoi, in a review, commended his voice.[178] Bollywood Hungama, in a review of Aashiqui 2, described Singh as a singer with a "rich texture and depth in his voice". However, they suggested he should "sing smoothly", without heavy breaths in between.[179] NewsX acclaimed Singh's voice.[180]
Singh has said that he would most like to explore the classical music style.[173] He has also said that he loves singing folk music and likes all genres except for heavy metal music—since it is too loud for him.[172] Singh is most commonly known for his romantic songs and was associated with the tag "romantic singer". Regarding that, Singh said the tag of romantic singer is unintentional, as he has not planned his career. He is happy with the songs that come his way and tries to do his best.[181] Singh does not believe that doing just one type of song is "hampering" his growth.[182] However, through his career, he has explored different musical styles, including; a club party song "Raat Bhar", an electronic "Blame The Night", a Punjabi Folk "Samjhawan", a Sufi or Qawwali song "Mast Magan" and a ghazal titled "Gulon Mein Rang Bhare". Regarding the variety, Hindustan Times stated; "he can sing nice fun songs as well".[183] According to Krsna "A vocalist needs to have all genres of music at his fingertips and Arijit has that."[184] While reviewing the soundtrack of Main Tera Hero, Bollywood Hungama felt he "shines" in the form, which is a "totally different setup" from what he has done before.[185]
Reviewing the song "Uska Hi Banana", Komoi described Singh's voice as "marvelous" and Glamsham wrote he sang it intensely, emotionally and passionately.[186][43] Reviewing the emotional song "Chunar" dedicated to a mother from the movie Any Body Can Dance 2 Komoi wrote Singh's voice "truly converse the pain and the Indian musical arrangements work their magic along with the emotionally rich lyrics. The song finds an instant connect with the listener."[187] Singh's "mispronunciation" of the phonetic 'ta' syllable was criticized by India West while reviewing the song "Chunar".[188] Similarly, Bollywood Hungama considered his pronunciation "flawed" in the title track of Khamoshiyan.[80] However the producer of the film Khamoshiyan, Mahesh Bhatt said, "It is a sensational song. One of the best songs that I have heard in my lifetime and its poetry is simply brilliant."[189] While reviewing the rest of his tracks in the film, The Indian Express, felt that Singh's rendition of the song sounds as "he's on autopilot", though Rajiv Vijayakar from Bollywood Hungama felt his rendition was "emotional".[80][190] Reviewing the song "Soch Na Sake" with music composed by Amaal Mallik from the movie Airlift Bollywood Hungama acclaimed Singh's rendition of the song.[191]
Singh insists on the presence of lyricists during recording sessions for a better understanding of the relevance of the words and feelings behind a song. He has said his favorite lyricists are Irshad Kamil, Sayeed Quadri, and Amitabh Bhattacharya.[192] While talking with Subhash Ghai at a question and answers session at Whistling Woods International Campus on arts and technique of singing at the 5th Veda Cultural Hub, Arijit said "Singing is like talking. It is an art of expression. There are other factors too but they all follow on once you understand your lyrics and rhythm well. There are no rules. You just have to practice well." Sharing his childhood memories he said, "I mostly practiced modern Bengali and Indian classical music. My guru Rajendra Prasad Hazari inspired me to practice more of modern singing as according to him Indian classical was dying."[193]
Public image and influences
editArijit has shared his fondness for singer Kishore Kumar,[194] while citing Mohit Chauhan and Atif Aslam as inspirations with whom he is often compared.[195] Though he has been inspired by many artists, Singh named KK as his favorite singer along with Ayushmann Khurrana.[196] He named Pritam Chakraborty, Vishal–Shekhar, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Amit Trivedi, Mithoon and A. R. Rahman as his favorite music directors.[29] Singh has idolized Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh and Mehdi Hassan.[172]

Singh has often been portrayed by the Indian media as a "small-town boy who made it big".[37][200][201] He had also been trolled on social media to which he replied "I use my social media sparingly for things that are close to my heart. I don't read the comments. My team filters out the comments for me, I don't involve myself a lot into paying attention to criticism on social media. I speak what I want to speak and my team lets me know the needful."[202][203]
Arijit enjoys listening to retro songs by singers Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle and the classical and ghazal songs along with the music of Coldplay.

He's also a really nice guy, with no ego. That helps."[207] Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in an Interview with The Hindu said, "Arijit Singh is very special".[208]
Shreya Ghoshal remarked that he "is versatile and has a soulful voice".[5][209] Shankar Mahadevan said "I knew him before he became Arijit Singh. He is an educated musician, he understands his Sargam, and he has got depth."[210] Suresh Wadkar praised him as one of the "great singers of this generation".[211] Sonu Nigam rated Arijit higher than himself, at 7 on 10.[212]
