Here comes…. Shafqat amanat ali’s new album… Before start, I would like to announce that I m a DIE HARD fan of SHAFQAT ALI. So, according to human psychology, Itried out to find the best thing even in so called “average” songs. But still, I m putting my honest review.
TABEER. As usual… a great combo of different styled excellent
masterpieces. Except couple of, all the songs are great on its unique way…
Starting with Shafqat amanat ali’s voice, I hav no words to describe. He sings
from heart… It directly pierces the heart. That’s it. So far as music is
concerned… though apart from “FUZON”, they have tried hard to put the best. U
ll finds different kinds of instruments and different style of music and moods.
Ok… now coming to “song by song” review….
- Khairheyan De Naal – my favorite in
this album. Beautifully beautifully sung by S.Ali. very soothing calming song.
If u r alone and want to make yrself imbulge into the deep ocean of emotion…
just go for this song. S.Ali has given his great classical accent in this song
specially in the signature line. Beautiful song.
kind of song. Honestly, I was not expecting this song in this album. - Dum Ali
Ali dum – A good version of “mast kalandar”. Good to hear. But again an honest
opinion. Not as good as Abida parveen. ( S.Ali’s voice doesn’t exactly suit to
this song as he is having soft accent.)
- Rang Le – a beautiful Spanish-Indian
classical combo. (actually, this is a quawalli, but these people have converted
into Spanish jazz) Soothing voice, beautiful guitar strums, touchy santoor and
superbly played accordion pieces. U ll remember A.R. rahman’s “aey hairathey
aashiqui” (of Guru). It is ishq-e-haqiqi. Written by great Amir Khusaro.
-
Bulle shah- a RAGA Bhairavi based compo. Written by Bulle shah. I don’t
understand the words exactly but again a good composition. We can see the high
pitch of S.Ali in this song. Gradual involvement of Tabla and Drums makes this
song more effective. - Pagalpan- a “not so favorite” song. Apart from the
initial alap, S.Ali doesn’t show his singing style.
raag Kaafi. Rohi means ‘desert’. A sad song. Just close the eyes, and listen to
this song… u ll reach to the endless desert for sure. Good https://lyrics. S.ALI suits
the most in this song.
- Kartar- a traditional raga Darabari based song. S.Ali
has metioned that his father ustaad amanat ali khan and uncle ustad fateh ali
khan used to sing this song. An excellent classical-rock fusion with some best
singing excellency. Worth listening.
- Ya Ali – a good song but it could have
been better. Un-necessary editing of the voice kills the charm of the song.
Overall…. A very good album…. U ll get at least 4-5 songs worth listening from
total.
