Hindi Pop
Hindi pop is pop music sung in Hindi and released on its own, not as part of a film soundtrack; it is a core part of Indi-pop.
Pop gained ground across the Indian subcontinent in the early 1980s, and in the 1990s non-film albums such as Alisha Chinai's 'Made in India' sold in the millions. The sound follows international pop, with drum machines, synths and guitars, and often adds Indian melodies and percussion. Its independence from cinema is the main thing that separates it from Bollywood music, though many singers work in both.
Artists it is known for: Alisha Chinai, Lucky Ali, Shaan, Falguni Pathak.
