Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 11

From the first album that I ever heard and yes, got it dubbed because the original was too expensive. This was a cobalt recorded cassette. The album from which this emerges is an album worth its weight in Gold. The name is 'In search' and yes I will, am sure mention more ghazals from it at …

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 10

I guess it was from the album milestone, and in true fashion of my ignorance, I was stuck on some other ghazal of this album for a very long time. Then, I discovered this one..Written by Qateel Shifai, the ghazal has a time stamp of late 1980s, with instrumentation on the milder side. A saxophone in …

Manikarnika Music review

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 9

Apart from the fact that the tune of this lovely ghazal sounds eerily similar to hum to yun apni zindagi se miley, this lovely little gem from Sudarshan faakir urges us all to stop and think. We all have so many new age pains, that we don't stop and think about pain and sufferring of others. What …

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 8

Sudarshan Faakir, like I mentioned earlier as well, has written some of the best ghazals for Jagjit Singh. So, I had this habit of not moving on to other ghazals in the album if I like one particular ghazal. Those were the days of exploring (and so much to expolore to), Jagjit singh ghazal wise. Passion is what …

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 7

Hasrat Mohani wrote this gem and it has been sung by so many people and counting. My favorite remains the one sung by Jagjit Singh in Kahkashan. Just hear the tamaam rendition by Jagjit singh and feel yourself floating in eternity...Gone too soon saheb, gone too soon. Rangeeniyon mein doob gaya...pairahan tamaam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw-lQnLco1o P.S. - I might use …

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 6

So this one was the opening ghazal in the album, that is rightly titled 'Rare gems' (HMV). Sounding a little like Mukesh, Jagjit singh sounds supremely in command singing somewhat simplistic but effective lyrics penned by Farooq Qaiser. The album opens with this ghazal and Jagjit singh ends his brief introduction to the album with …

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 5

Raat ko jaa baithtey hain, roz hum majnu ke pass, pehle annbann reh chuki hai, ab to yaarana rahe.. This wonderous ghazal, richly composed by Jagjit singh with an excellent rabaab and a mild mid eastern vibe, has been an old favorite. Penned by Riyaz Khairabadi, this was a part of Mirage, the album. H.M.V. made me buy …

Heard of Jagjit singh? Ghazal 4

Towards the later part of his life, Jagjit singh was accused of not putting too much heart in his work, album wise. Insight, the album was definitely an aberration to that. It is mighty tough to suggest one track from this gem of an album. Still, it is Chaand se phool se , that remains my …

 First came across this lovely gem in the album called Desires. It was a weston casette release and that was a big deal. Why? Weston never got much traction with much of the action and that is why, I picked this up in an impluse. Yes, I remember these things...kuch aur cheezon mein dhyaan laga leta …

Heard of Jagjit Singh? Ghazal 2

Penned by Sudarshan Faakir, this was one of the earliest ghazals I came across from the man. It was 1993 I guess. I remember this being a part of a universal cassette titled 'Best of Jagjit singh'. There is a distinct character of everything that Jagjit singh performed which was penned by Sudarshan Faakir. The pain is too real, …

I keep away from all music now, engaging only with the latest music albums for my B.B.C. review assignment.

F.i.g.h.t C.l.u.b

I have loved Zohaib Kazi’s work for a while now and that is why I was over the moon to hear that he is going to be on the driving seat for season 11. He has anyway been associated till season 6. The buzz started with CokeStudio Explorer that featured 4 songs with varied artists and barring the last song, everything felt nice, solid and quite trippy. After explorer ended, curtain was raised on the season opener song and in came Hum Dekhenge. I loved it then and I love it now. The artist line up was just way too tempting and too good to be true. Anyway, I won’t go on and on episode-wise as you can find it here. Our picks from this season are as under:

Baalkada The way this song started made me soar like an airplane. Naghma & Lucky were fantastic! Jimmy Khan’s presence…
