"We are only three people who sing live" - ​​He criticized his

Soni Malaj had been missing the public with an interview for a while. So her appearance this time sparked numerous debates. She was direct, made several statements and received great attention from the public. One of the questions she was asked was whether there are any good producers today.

"The growth in the market has become very large in terms of the music part, since the market part has also changed, everything has been digitalized, consumption has become much faster in terms of music. Because before there were discs and cassettes and we had to work for a long time to produce them. But today producers are not able to keep up with singers, because singers are multiplying," she said.

He further added: "But when it comes to doing a live concert, there are three of us in the entire industry. If there are going to be big events in Albania and we have to go out to "Skënderbej" Square in front of 20 thousand people live, it's just me, Aurela Gaçe, Alban Skënderaj. Everything is minimized, from the hundreds of singers that there are, the number drops."

Regarding the hip-hop artists with whom she has also collaborated, she said: "We, having an American culture, naturally the hip-hop part is very dear to us. Before, the lyrics were somewhat cleaner, while today they are about substance use and I see that even in public they are a little tiring. Before, we could hardly wait when BabaStars, or Kaos, or Skillz, or PINT came out. When you are in the minority, you are something rarer and you are more desirable."

"Quality is personal, each person has their own artistic abilities. I'm a bit of a fan of old school hip-hop. Of the young people today, the one who has impressed me is MatoLale, Kidda, I really like him because he has a very unique style." Her words were interpreted as a criticism of her colleagues, which forced her to react on Instagram to clarify the situation. In her Instagram post, Soni expressed her concern about the misunderstandings that had arisen after her statement and emphasized that she greatly appreciates her colleagues who perform live.

"I'm seeing news and statuses where a sentence of mine, spoken too quickly, has been interpreted as a disrespect for my colleagues. I want to make it clear that I appreciate all my friends, colleagues, and collaborators who perform live. The context of what I said is that, unfortunately, the number of singers who sing live is smaller than that of those who sing playback. I should have explained that sentence a little longer to avoid misunderstandings," she wrote.
