Popular Bollywood playback singer Javed Ali says most composers offer him to sing songs that are either semi-classical or are intricate in their composition.

"I usually get to sing songs that have 'harqat', and are semi-classical or more intricate. Songs that have a range... perhaps because of my voice that can easily manage high and low notes. But honestly, I do not think it is to my credit. If my singing leaves a long-lasting effect in the mind of the listeners, it is the blessing of the Almighty."
