Her rendition for both the tracks met with positive response from critics; Redkar from Koimoi noted, "Chauhan brings life into this song with her vocals as she croons it with the required nakhra".[163] Ashwin Vinayan of Deccan Herald picked "Tippa"—performed with Sukhwinder Singh and Rekha Bhardwaj—as "one of the classiest multi-star efforts in recent Bollywood music memory".[164] In spite of rendering the song, she also made a special appearance in "Bloody Hell".[165] She was next heard in a Rochak Kohli composition; "Zinda" from Naam Shabana.[166] She contributed to the album of Jab Harry Met Sejal by performing "Radha" with Shahid Mallya and "Butterfly" alongside Aman Trikha, Nooran Sisters and Dev Negi. Both songs met with mixed reception from critics; Vipin Nair of The Hindu appreciated Chauhan's rendition of "Radha" while criticising "Butterfly" as a "noisy mishmash".[167] She was next heard in a duet with Sukhwinder Singh; "Bakheda" from Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Debarati Sen from The Times of India admired the track and praised her for bringing "the playful and folksy romance alive" with her rendition.[168] Sen was equally pleased with her "slow and soulful" rendition of Sachin–Jigar composed "Pinjra Tod Ke" from Simran.[169] Also, she recorded the anthem of 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships, a song mix of Hindi, English and Assamese lyrics blended with a rap performed by her.[170][171]

    Artistry

    Voice

    Chauhan possesses a high octave vocal range,[172] and has the ability to reach lower octaves and dropping notes with transition.[173] The Indian Express described her as a soprano, though criticising her "high-pitched non-falsetto voice because of the "squeakiness it acquires while belting out those notes".[174] Lata Mangeshkar who described Chauhan's vocals as "different" from her contemporary, mentioned that her voice will not suit musical style of lori.[175] Lyricist Prasoon Joshi described Chauhan as an effervescent and soulful singer who can lend her voice to any situation.[176] Director Ram Gopal Varma calling her an extraordinary talent, said "I think it’s the various facets of her personality, that is so full of life and energy, which come through in a musical way in her diverse songs".[176] Chauhan has the ability to change her tonal quality with a lot of ease and charisma.[177] According to Rajani Kanikar, she has a "powerful" and "husky" voice which she attributes to her father.[178][12] Music composer Amit Trivedi considers Chauhan to be the most versatile female singer after Asha Bhosle who is good with all the genres.[179] She feels that her vocals structure suits on Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Kajol, Parineeti Chopra and Urmila Matondkar the most.[5] According to The Daily Star, "be it a soft classical-like piece or an operatic pitch, Chauhan is spectacular with her vocals".[173] Though she has performs in high-pitched vocals songs, she is known for her "deeper pitched voice", on which Ajay Gehlawat wrote: "Chauhan's deeper timbre replaces Asha Bhosle's higher pitched vocals" in the song "Yeh Mera Dil", ensuring such "fuller female timbres become more commonplace' to a decidedly more forceful and sensual sounds".[180][181] Ganesh Anantharaman in his book Bollywood Melodies: A History of the Hindi Film Song wrote that Chauhan has a "good, expressive" voice but she crafted a particular image for herself as the singer of fast, racy songs.[182]

    The Times of India considered her voice as the "liveliest voice in Bollywood".[16] According to MensXP.com, "her voice is orgasmic and extremely fierce. While singing a certain stanza, she gets into the mood so deeply, her voice breaks into a passionate squeal as she strikes a high note".[183] In an interview, classical musician Rahul Sharma said, "Chauhan's voice has an element of sensuality which [is] also very versatile and I admire the quality of her voice and the kind of emotions she can bring out".[184]

    Musical style

    Chauhan's music contains elements of pop, hip hop and R&B.[185] Music composer Sandeep Chowta while talking about the singer said "She is a brilliant singer with a wide range and an individual style. She does not copy anyone. She knows what she’s doing and is in total control. She’s not just a singer, she’s also a musician".[176] Chauhan has said that her audience feels more comfortable in hearing her singing item songs and she made her "name because of that genre".[186] The perception of singing only item songs was "broken" when Chauhan performed the romantic song, "Meri Zindagi Mein" for Anu Malik which was then followed by songs from Chameli and Fanaa.[186] However, Chauhan declared that she "dislikes" tagging songs as item numbers and "they are treated specially, they have extra attention and they are picturised in a special way. So, I like being associated to any special song".[106][187]

    Describing her singing style, Chauhan said; "I have no particular style; instead I only go with the music and the lyrics, and feel free to express my emotions through singing".[188] Though her singing style has a strong western influences, she has recorded some semi-classical songs in her career, including songs from Rang Rasiya.[189] She has not performed any classical songs or a ghazal and has expressed her interest on releasing a ghazal album.[189][190] Though known for her high pitch renditions, she personally prefers soft and soothing songs.[191] Believing that singing all kinds of songs makes her grow as a musician she revealed that her "weakness remains for soft melodies".[192] "Even on live shows, I first sing my fast numbers to get the audience into the groove. But once they are happy with their favorite numbers, I switch on to slow scores".[192]

    Chauhan's live rendition of songs is praised by the viewers for her power and energy. A newspaper published in the United Arab Emirates, The National wrote: "From flitting between fast and slow songs, to playing with the tempos and notes of the songs she sang, she didn't stick to the original format of any number".[193]

    Influence

    Lata Mangeshkar has significantly influenced Chauhan and her music

    Chauhan was introduced to music by her father and credits her "powerful" voice to him.[4] She acknowledges that western music had a huge impact in her singing and confessed that she likes to perform "songs that have a western flavour in them".[194] Believing that her voice has a "global appeal", she feels that her exposure to international music has only "sharpened" her skills while she does not forcefully tries to imply a western feel to the song.[195] She considers Lata Mangeshkar as her biggest inspiration, calling her "a temple of music".[196][197] She grew up listening to music by Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle and is equally influenced by singers like Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sadhana Sargam, K.S.Chithra, Alka Yagnik, Kishori Amonkar, Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey.[191][198]

    Sonu Nigam who helped her get her first break in the industry was named as one of the biggest influences in shaping her career along with her parents and she described him as a "catalyst to fuel my career".[14][199] She was mainly compared with her contemporary singer Shreya Ghoshal for which Chauhan stated, "I am contented to have my own area in the current music world. Likewise, Shreya Ghoshal has her own. I personally respect Shreya for her talents and nice songs, whom people consider as a threat to me".[14] Moreover, Chauhan's versatility is compared with Bhosle, where she described Bhosle as a "singing institution", whereas, Chauhan is like a "student to her".[14]

    Chauhan has also been influenced by many artists outside the country like Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey,[200] Celine Dion[201] and Whitney Houston.[202][7] According to Chauhan, she started listening English songs after she turned 11, and she grew up listening to "Always Be My Baby" by Carey.[203] Chauhan who admires the work of Shakira was keen to be part of the Indian version of The Voice, since she served as a coach on the American version of the show.[204]

Neither was it for The Voice India. It's just that one day I decided that I need to go to gym and eat a healthy diet".[213]

    In 2012, Chauhan appeared in the Forbes Celebrity 100, a list based on income and popularity of India's celebrities. She was listed at the seventy-second spot in 2012, fifty-eighth spot in 2013, fifty-sixth spot in 2014, sixtieth spot in 2015.[214][215][216][217] In 2013, Chauhan appeared in the list of "World's Sexiest Asian Woman" by FHM India at the twenty-eighth position,[218] and was named the "Hottest Female Bollywood Lead Singer" by MensXP.com.[219] Chauhan was selected in the list of "Top 5 Celeb100 Singers and Musicians" compiled by Forbes India.[220] She was also voted as Bollywood's most favourite Female Playback Singer in the "Vuclip Icons of the Year 2012" mobile survey.[221] Apart from public appearances, Chauhan began to use social media to respond directly to her fans.
