Note : Couldn’t find a more suitable category to put the review on. So read as ’10 Great songs of Nazia Hasan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some songs never grow old; they just sound better and better every time we listen to them.
Some voices sound as melodious as they ever did.
Some singers remain close to our hearts, always.
When we talk of the genre of Indian Disco and Pop, the name ’Nazia Hasan’ is the most remembered and loved one.
She made it real big in the Indian and Pakistan pop industry in the 80s.
Her great voice and amazing singing style have given us some memorable feet-tapping songs that are a delight to listen and get you in your dancing shoes, even today!
Being an ardent fan, I owe this great singer a review on Mouthshut!
So, here’s a journey into her exquisite songs.
1-- Aap jaisa koi : From the movie Qurbaani released in 1980. I have loved this song ever since I was a kid.Beautifully sung by Nazia Hasan. The song got her a Filmfare award. I read, Nazia was only 15 when she sung this song!
Isn’t it amazing?
The song was composed by BIDDU. He composed almost all songs for Nazia Hasan.
2-- Disco Deewane : (Album : Disco Deewane): This is an absolutely groovy disco number. My all time favourite! My Dance parties aren’t complete without ’Disco deewane’ being played!
3-- Lekin mera dil : (Album : Disco Deewane) : Another display of classy singing. I love the title line of the track ’lekin mera dil...mera dil ro raha hai’’.
4-- Tere kadmon ko : (Album : Disco Deewane). A duet with brother Zoheb hasan. Zoheb is also an excellent singer. And together they both give a song as incredible as this one!
5-- Dil Mera ye kehta hai, tum mere ho : (Album : Disco Deewane). Another gem from the same collection. If you haven’t listened to this one, catch it up ASAP. It’s a lovely song sung amazingly well by Nazia.
6-- Boom Boom : Remember Anupama Verma in the video of a song ’Boom Boom’’. That was a remix version of Nazia’s ’boom boom’.
The song is from the movie ’Star’ starring Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri.The music director, Biddu also appears in the movie for a couple of minutes.
7-- Koi nahi : ’Yeh dil tere liye hai, ye jaan tere liye hai. mere liye tere siwa, janejahan, koi nahi..koi nahi..koi nahi’’.Movie : Star. Awesome song by Nazia.
8-- Jaana : Again from the movie ’Star’. A very soft romantic duet by brother and sister. Catch lines..
’’jaana zindagi se na jaana,
pyar ka ye fasaana
ruk na jaaye kahin.
jaana, hum rahenge tumhare,
hain jab tak sitaare
hai jab tak zamin.’’
The sound track of the movie also have some other good songs like ’ooie ooie’ and ’yaadon mein khoya ’’ sung by zoheb hasan.
’ooie ooie’ is a very catchy number!
9-- Aankhen milaane waale : From the album ’Young Tarang’ , which came out in 80s.It was re-released by Biddu few years back.
A very sweet and melodious song.
10-- Dum dum dee dee dum dum : Last but not the least, another love song from album ’Young Tarang’.
’’Dum dum dee dum dum, yaad mujhe bas yehi sanam..dum dum dee dee dum dum, saath rahenge janam janam...’’
Songs like ’Dosti’ and ’Aag’ also got famous from the same album.
Nazia Hasan lost her fight against cancer and passed away in London in the year 2000.
Today, Music Industry is flooded with pop singers. They are good, but I always feel that the void created by Nazia Hasan, still exists.
Nazia Hasan rocks!
Cheers,
Senorita.
