Album Review – Sara Jahaan by Karavan
One of the very few remaining rock bands, and there aren’t many that can give themselves that title, is Karavan. Often compared to Junoon, despite certain disparities such as Karavan having a better guitarist but a weaker vocalist, there are some similarities to the now defunct band. Certain solos and rhythms, from their previous record ...
Errors made by Recording Companies – Dekh chand ki Or (Aag – 1948)
Today I was listening to the “The Golden Collection – Shamshad Begum” 2 CD set and that prompted me to write this post. If you are an avid collector of old records or just a careful listener.. have you ever noticed how many times reputed recording companies like EMI, HMV etc goofed up the credits ...
Album Review – Kya Yehi Piyar Hai by Annie Khalid
In the wake of listening to Annie Khalid’s new album, Kya Yehi Piyar Hai (KYPH), all one is left with is a toothache. And can you imagine what something that causes a toothache is like? Quite terrible. The other thing one is left with is a desperate scrambling for one’s brain cells. Whatever remains of ...
Album Review – Kyun Dooriyan by Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan
There is always this tiny voice at the back of my head when talking about someone else’s art, telling me to be very, very delicate with it. The end consumer of any kind creative product can like or dislike it according to personal taste but can never imagine what the artist went through while evolving ...
Pichal Pairee by Overload – Album Review
With their second album, Overload have moved further into the world of hypnotic percussion and frenzied riffs with a distinct female vocalist in tow. As for the dhols… they are still very much a part of Overload’s punch. The trip factor that one associated with Overload hasn’t disappeared with Pichal Pairee. The name of the ...
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009) – Soundtrack Review
The Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani soundtrack is a crowd-pleaser: it’s got something for everyone. Are you a Hard Kaur fan? She has two songs on the album. Prefer Atif Aslam instead? He lends his voice to two songs, including a love ballad of the sing-along variety. Would rather giggle and dance ala Govinda? There ...
Khursheed Begum – Her Last Interview
The year was 1992 the month was February; I entered a house in Karachi’s posh area. I was led inside by a servant who took me to the living room area of the neatly decorated compact house. A group of women sat in the room, all in their middle ages. They were startled to see ...
Album Review – Shiraz Uppal’s Ankahi
Amongst the many releases this year that include Hadiqa Kiyani’s Aasmaan, Amanat Ali Khan’s Kohram, Rahim Shah’s Mamma Dey, Laal’s Umeed-e-Sahar and Overload’s Pichal Pairee (to name a few), one artist whose return is surely welcome is Shiraz Uppal. It’s not because of his arresting videos (although ‘Jhuki Jhuki’ was magnificent) or the over-styled glamour ...
Album Review – Wajood Hai Mera
Tough times come and go. Calamities of all kinds hit Pakistan and satiate their desires. Economy often stagnates and so does prosperity. However, one aspect in which the country continues to work is on the music front. It can also be attributed to the media boom due to which grabbing audiences’ attention is not such ...
Interview with Mina Hasan (Noor Jehan’s Daughter)
The resemblance to her late mother, Madam Noor Jehan, is striking just as Mina’s witty conversation reflects the singer’s style. As she talks about her mother her sense of loss is obvious, her face clouds over, her eyes become misty and voice choked with emotion even after 10 years of Madam having passed away. But ...
