“These
days I am listening to a lot of Western rock music because
of the overdose of Indian and Bollywood tracks all around.
And amongst that, I am hooked onto White Snake and Muse. And,
if you want me to name a few songs then I would like to say
‘Good to be Bad’ from White Snake and ‘Map
of the Problematic’ by Muse are amazing tracks.”
Both White
Snake and Muse are British rock bands. ‘Good to be Bad’
was released last year while ‘Map of the Problematic’
is from Muse’s album Black Holes and Revelations which
released in 2006. ‘Map of the Problematic’ has
been used in numerous promos, including the TV series Primeval,
the movie Children of Men and during Live Earth. |

“I’m
listening to a lot of stuff but no particular singer as such.
I usually listen to the latest music charts. These days I’m
into a lot of Pakistani music- from Mahnaz, Nayyara Noor,
Tahera Sayed and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. I don’t really
listen to much Indian music. I have some various pieces on
my iPod. My favourite since last year is Chris Brown, though
I hate Rihanna.”
Nayyara
Noor is a three time gold medallist in the All Pakistan Music
Conference and has been awarded the Nigar Award for Best Female
Singer. She started her career with no formal training in
music but remains a living legend.
Chris Brown is the latest rap sensation to hit the world.
He has produced Billboard Hot 100 top singles like ‘Run
It’, ‘Excuse Me Miss’, ‘Forever’,
‘Kiss Kiss’ and ‘With You’.

I’m
listening to a whole not of obscure musicians from the seventies.
These days, I’m listening to a guy called Gil Scott
Heron. I recently discovered his music and ended up getting
his album and going through it. I haven’t heard any
Pakistani music these days. All I’ve heard is Kaavish’s
new album that will be coming out soon. I worked at the studio
with them when the album was being recorded so I’ve
heard a lot of their stuff!”
Gil
Scott Heron is known for his musical fusion of jazz, blues
and soul music together with the lyrical content of the social
issues of his time. He is the man who developed hip-hop into
what it is today and his unique rap style remains an influence
even today. Kaavish are a Pakistani pop band who made their
mark with their mellow debut single ‘Bachpan’
and the love song ‘Tere Pyaar Main’. Their album
Gunkali, which has been produced by Faisal Rafi, is one of
the most awaited albums this year. |
