KK's Death Anniversary: Remembering The Singing Legend, A Voice For Every Emotion

If you create a playlist of KK’s songs it will be a playlist of nostalgia for almost all millennials. Any playlist of the 90s and 2000s is incomplete without KK’s songs in it.

Bollywood singer KK passed away after his concert in Kolkata on 31 May, 2022. Accepting that singing icon KK died on this day exactly one year ago still takes some time. The singer's death was like losing a part of your memory album.

If you create a playlist of KK’s songs, it will be a playlist of nostalgia for almost all millennials. Any playlist of the 90s and 2000s is incomplete without KK’s songs in it. One of the most versatile singers of our generation, listening to KK's songs is like a trip down the memory lane. No Farewell party was complete without ‘Hum Rahein Ya Na Rahein’, every group of friends must have sung or listened to ‘Yaaron Dosti Badi Hi Haseen Hai’ together, and what is heartbreak if you haven’t listened to ‘Tadap Tadap’. Be it the rush of first love in ‘Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai’ or the deepness of love in ‘Abhi Abhi’, or coming to terms with your vulnerability or hurt in ‘Aawarapan Banjarapan’, KK was the voice behind every human emotion. 

KK’s Bollywood journey started with the soulful ‘Chhod aaye hum’ from 'Maachis' and from there on his songs became a part of our life, our collective nostalgia. KK lives on through his music and there can never be a better way to remember the brilliant singer than listening to his songs, feel these emotions with these beautiful songs:
