Atif Aslam is in town at the moment. He is to perform live at the Centre-Stage Mall in Noida tonight. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the concert this time. Well, may be next time!
In fact, he has been in India for a few days now. Earlier, while he was at Bombay, he appeared on a couple of shows on MTV India. I was able to catch a little bit of the conversations he had with VJ Rannvijay and VJ Anusha on MTV Super Select and MTV Chillout, respectively.
Apart from the fact that he is immensely talented musically, he seems to be quite a regular guy and a full-blooded Punjabi to boot. He also likes to ride his motorbike around and bought it with his own money, just like me. The only difference is that he owns a Honda VLX (which costs upwards of Rs.20,00,000), while I have a Yamaha RX135 (which I bought for about Rs.46,000!).
When asked about his favourite song among all that he has sung so far, he said it is 'Gal Sun Ja' from the album titled Jalpari. He also sang it live on the show, with no musical accompaniment except some light strains of his own guitar. It sounded absolutely wonderful that way and, in fact, far better than it does on the album!
I sincerely hope that some one will post the audio or video recording on the internet very soon, so that I can download it and listen to it as often as I want to.
The following video shows Atif performing the song live at the Indus Music Awards show not so long ago, obviously, with full musical accompaniment:

wot can i say abt atif…hes indeed a good singer ..i was shocked when i saw an article written by an english man who don’t even understand this language and hes a big fan of him..i can’t believe that any1 can write abt him who doesn’t even know the meaning of hindi ..hats off to Atif.
u should see his article.
http://www.sbstatesman.com/home/…30- afa186b8454c
i really can’t believe that a 23yr old boy can go this far at this age.

I was also quite amazed when I received a message from a blogging buddy (a young lady from Romania), praising Atif’s music and his voice, after watching the video that I have posted here, even though she also couldn’t understand a single word of the lyrics.
Thank you so much for dropping by and also for the link to a very interesting article!

oh welcome..no prob at all..
here’s another link..there r 2 songs which were sung by both Atif n Jal,i mean Atif n Goher when they were together unfortunately they r not in the first album…i think they must have thought to put them in the second album which couldn’t be possible as they broke up…but I personally think that if they would have been together then they could have given a new name of music to pop industry..
One has a gud voice n One is a gud guitarist..n both were gud lyricist..
well wot can we say:
u just listen the song:
1.Humein Itna Pyaar is an unplugged version but the lyrics are sweet n simple, not that complicated.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/…& songID=2171547
2.Payal is also an awsome track..its slow but again very gud to listen.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/…& songID=4279621

The first one is excellent! The voice and the guitar riffs are superb…lyrics are ok…
The second one isn’t bad either…though Atif is not a part of the performance…it’s the regular JAL gang, with Farhan Saeed doing the vocals…I like their music too!
Thanks again!
Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 01.05.07 – 1:40 pm | #
——————————————————————————–
oh really?..i thought that Atif sang the 2nd one as well…If u open the window of the song ..its got both Atif n Jal’s name there..
Atif’s voice used to sound very diff when he was in the band.
shifali | 01.05.07 – 6:17 pm | #
——————————————————————————–
You are right about the credits on the website. However, the voice definitely sounds like Farhan Saeed to me…Can’t say for sure though…
Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 01.05.07 – 6:33 pm | #
yeah ure so much rite ..i got to know that they r releasing their second album ..n this is the first song of their album Payal(teaser)..i thought that the song’s name is payal..but i still think that the band was on quite much high when they were with Atif n which u can only see in their 1st song Addat..this is the ORIGINAL (addat) im sending you sung by Atif…n the one sung by Farhan is ok ..but no one can sing this song apart from Atif.

thanks for the site.its quite interesting actually..have u heard these songs.?..these r quite old but still…
http://www.themuzik.com/songs.ph…ed& artist_id=26
1.Yaarian remix
2.Yeh shaam remix
and 1 is called Sahi-be- Dil(the reason i like this song is that guys normally praise girls but its quite opposite to it..i only like the lyrics in it but the overall song is also not that bad)
http://www.themuzik.com/songs.ph…ed& artist_id=26
shifali | 01.15.07 – 8:29 pm | #
——————————————————————————–
I agree that Sahib-e-dil has beautiful lyrics. However, another artiste might’ve been able to do more justice to it than Junaid Jamshed has been. I’ve checked out the other songs as well. He has not been blessed with a voice, it seems, as powerful as some others have been and his style is slightly different from what constitutes my taste in music.
Thanks just the same for sharing this collection!
Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 01.17.07 – 2:37 pm | #
——————————————————————————–
yeah i no , the thing which ure saying , junaid himself said once in an interview that when we started composing songs in a band, i used to say to my band that my voice is not that good but the other band members told him that “for us ure a BEST singer in the world”..n it was the time when there was no band in Pakistan except “Vital signs, with junaid as a vocalist”
n the album itself is quite old n the music as well..n hes a pop singer not a rock singer..rock is (Atif or Jal or some other bands in pakistan)
anyways thanks for listening the songs!

2.”Rabba Sacheya” …omg this song is quite complicated..i really don’t know how did he manage to sing this song.

Meanwhile, another nice song is at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h…h? v=hULGOQORzPw
The song title is ‘Mahi Ve’ and I like it quite a bit, though I can’t say as much for the video.
Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 03.04.07 – 2:50 pm | #
——————————————————————————–
That was a beautiful song..the video was also not bad either ..and that boy has got looks,hes so simple but yet handsome…and i like his own small and unique dancing steps.Hes looking fabulous here with unique dress sense again..and i have seen most of his pics ..hes never over the top so far as his dress sense is concerned and on top of this(hes a cutuuu)..everything suits that guy.He looks like a proper college boy, im surprized that he has not got any gf which shows that hes quite shareef as well.. and yeah offcourse hes a piecian and i love piecians.Most of my friends are piecians ..i get along with them quite well.
anyways thanks for the video.

@Sidhusaaheb,
I like Atif. He has an amazing voice. I even play the guitar in an amateur band and we usually do “Woh Lamhe”. But Im afraid Id have to say that in this particular video, he looks like he is lipsyncing. There are quite a few places where his lip movements dont sync with the song. It’s fairly common in award shows, where they don’t have enough time to do 3-4 hour sound checks. Rock concerts do take 3-4 hours of detailed sound checks before any band can play.
Anyway, he won’t be first one to do so. Even the famous Def Leppard lip synced when they came to India.
Krish Ashok | Homepage | 07.11.07 – 7:28 pm | #
——————————————————————————–
@Krish: It is more than possible that you are absolutely right about Atif lip-synching in this performance.
Thanks for the additional info and I wish you and your band more success in the future!
Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 07.12.07 – 4:14 am | #
@Shifali: ‘Rabba Sacheya’ is a Punjabi poem by Faiz Ahmed ‘Faiz’, who is otherwise more famous as an Urdu poet. Atif’s song is based on that poem.
Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 07.12.07 – 4:37 am | #
——————————————————————————–
@Krish:no he wasnt lip-syncing..because one of my friend was present there..probably the video quality n sound was affected because of the distance from which it was taken.
@Sidhusaaheb:yeah i already know that..but he sung it quite well.
