Pak Singer Hadiqa Kiyani is Flying High - Stunning Shots
Hadiqa's Voice a seamless unison of dolksy charisma and urbane melancholy-is a compelling nostalgic barrage of memories;
of dusky cold winter nights and sensual shiny summer days,
of musical revolution and endless hope.
Hadiqa's voice-;a seamless unison of folksy charisma and urbane melancholy-is a compelling nostalgic barrage of memories; of dusky cold winter nights and sensual shiny summer days, of musical revolutions and endless hope. Brimming with thematic cement and shock value her live acts burn with fire. Yet there's logic and delicacy of melody that she renders in every song she sings. Her octave bending pitch of falsetto ecstasy makes one sit up and notice.
Looking like a pretty mannequin, from head to toe, attired in some quassi-designers ensemble Hadiqa's stage antics are a breath stopper. A sure shot feast not only for the ears but also for eyes, Hadiqa is a true live revolutionary artisan. Her musical sojourn has taken her to diverse and music rich places like USA, Hong Kong, Canada, England, Gulf, Australia, Norway etc on umpteen occasions..
The rest of the world is also catching up on Hadiqa's mania cos she is like a rose garden still in bloom.

Asad Abbas new Mekaal Hasan Band vocalist
Mekaal Hasan Band (MHB) had left their fans impatient and restless after news broke out that they were without a lead singer. It seemed to be a question on everybody's mind and lips: Who would fill up the empty space? However it seems that the guessing game is now finally over. People can finally stop trying to solve this mystery as the band has now announced the addition of a new member to their team.
After certain rumours had developed and managed to infiltrate the air, MHB announced on their official fan page, that they had chosen the youthful and fresh new-comer, Asad Abbas as their lead singer. Asad Abbas is the same soulful singer that had made his presence acknowledged on Pakistan Sangeet Icon, by displaying incredible vocal talent, and further enhancing his position by winning the show, and the one-crore contract!
However, some seemed uncertain about this dramatic change, and almost resentful. Some have raised concern whether this youngster can live up to the band's name and reputation.
On the other hand, we are hopeful, and congratulate Asad on this wonderful opportunity. We wish him and the band success in their journey together, while we're yet again waiting for them impatiently to produce some music together.

Shafqat Amanat Ali's Kyun Doorian to release on Mar 7
In keeping with the tradition of rapid music releases this year, Shafqat Amanat Ali too will be releasing his second solo album at the end of this week - March 7 to be more precise.
Kyun Doorian boasts of 10 tracks plus a bonus track and will be released under the Music Today label.
The album is being publicized as an assortment of visions and moods as apparently there will be 'rock' tracks as well as classical, that Shafqat has taken on in a mix of languages (Urdu and Punjabi is our guess).
Shafqat Amanat Ali's most recent project was 'Tere Naina', a song he sung for the soundtrack of My Name Is Khan. Ironically, while Shafqat is best known for his well-trained, distinctive voice, 'Tere Naina' made very little use of the things that set Shafqat's sound apart from other singers'.
Tabeer, Shafqat's first solo venture had been released in the second half of 2008 and had been a decent album that had won rave reviews for being daringly experimental, but was at some points, just slightly trite. It remains to be seen if Shafqat has broken out of the 'fusion' stereotype in Kyun Doorian or given completely into the commercial demon with the "rock" songs. Or perhaps as a happy third option, has managed to set his classically-trained vocals to classic rock beats, creating interesting tension.
