Last year, people all across the world were shocked and saddened by the passing of Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK. His wonderful voice and pleasant smile always warmed his followers' hearts. For most people, who are now in their 30s and 40s in particular, KK was often mentioned in talks with family members, friends, and acquaintances as a favourite singer spanning generations. KK was so passionate about his music that he lived only for that and did not ever get associated with any controversy, disputes, or drama. 

The beginning of KK's musical career

Leslie Lewis composed the music for KK's first solo pop rock album Pal, which was released in 1999. Pal, Yaaron, and Aap Ki Dua were immediate successes with the public, earning him a devoted following. Humsafar, his next album, was released in 2008. KK was diverse as a performer and language was not a barrier for him as he sang songs in Hindi, Marathi, Odia, Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati and all South Indian languages.

Reminiscing some of KK’s legendary songs

Yaaron Dosti

Yaaron Dosti KK's hit song 'Yaaron,' published in 1999, is still considered an anthem for friendship throughout generations. The song has a nice sentiment, but it's the singer's sweet voice that draws us in and makes us fall in love with it.

Dil Ibadat

Movie KK's rendition of Tum Mile's 'Dil Ibadat' is one of the most romantic melodies of all time. When one hears his melancholy voice in this song, one feels at ease. Even now, listening to this song has the same wonderful impact.

Pyar Mera Pehla Pehla

When we first fell in love, we all heard the wonderful song Mera Pehla Pehla Pyar from the movie Mera Pehla Pehla Pyar, and it improved our experience of our first love. Doesn't this song remind you of your first love every time you hear it? Thank you for sharing this song with us, KK.

Party on My Mind

The song 'Party on My Mind' from the film Race 3 is an absolute must-have for every party. This incredible song, performed by KK, is yet another treasure.

Dil Kyu Ye Mera Shor Kare

'Dil Kyu Ye Mera' is a feeling as much as a song. This song touched many people's hearts and made it simpler to convey our feelings to our loved ones. The fantastic manner in which KK has rendered this song makes us continuously keep playing this.

Woh Lamhe

'Woh Lamhe' from Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai is a perfect love song that made us question if we were in love. Because of this song, many love tales have begun. We are eternally grateful to Kk for this song.

Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana

KK's songs are our go-tos not just for love or friendship, but also for heartbreak. 'Such Keh Raha Hai' from the 2001 film 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein' is one of these nostalgic songs. The enchantment generated by KK in this song is quite heartwarming.

Ankhon Mein Teri

This song from Om Shanti Om is another wonderful song performed by the renowned performer KK. Every phrase in the song has a wonderful impact, and I remember binge-listening to it when it was originally released.

Pal

Pal is a fantastic song that was also the last song performed by the renowned vocalist KK. And we can connect to it more than ever before. If you here the lyrics of this song, you will understand how relevant it sound in the current scenario, where it says “Hum Rahein na Rahein Kal”.

KK died on May 31, 2022, as a result of a heart attack while performing in Kolkata. After his performance at Nazrul Manch, he became ill and was transported to the CMRI hospital. When the medics arrived, they proclaimed him dead leaving behind his bereaved wife Jyothy Krishna and children Nakul and Taamara.
