Bilal Khan and Bilal Saeed: Music Across The Border

Music across the border has always received appreciation and applause in India as well as world. Many musical geniuses from time to time have left their own impact on a listener. Take it Reshmaji or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Saab. Adnan Sami or more recently, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan; these artists are blessed with enormous love and support from Indo-Pak people.

Apart from some much popular artists like Aatif Aslam and bands like Jal, there are some brilliant artists that need to be heard and praised.

Here are two of my favorite artists from Pakistan. Many more to come later on this blog! Till then, enjoy!

Bilal Khan

The John Mayer Of Pakistan; Young Pop Sensation; Bilal Khan is most famous for his vocals and guitars. Apart from Audio, his videos have always been trend setting in terms of direction and DOP.

Here is his most famous one, Bachana with more than 1 million views on YouTube:



and the Coke Studio version of Toh Kya Hua, speechless (1 million + on YouTube):









Bilal Saeed

The upcoming Pop sensation, he got his big break in Pakistan from PMR (Pak Media Revolution) and truly, he deserves it. 12 Saal -his masterpiece, written,sung and produced by himeself, is a rage on YouTube.


His most famous one 12 Saal:



another one Ranjha, not a rage, but definitely worth checking (bear with quality):

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu Music Review (BD)

BD Music Review : Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

Amit Trivedi, you should work more often.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

Music Director: Amit Trivedi

Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya

BD Music Rating: ❤ ❤ ❤ 

Amit Trivedi and Dharma production are together for first time, we haven't heard much from Amit Trivedi this year, so expectations are already high. He is known for youthful fresh sounds, and this is how EMAET is supposed to be.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

Singers: Benny Dayal, Anushka Manchanda

Wow! Lively, upfront and vivacious are the words to describe this ultimate party number. Apart from Prittam and Vishal – Shekhar, not many music directors favor world music genre, but Amit Trivedi relies profoundly on world music, rock and fusion. Lyrics are good; vocals by Benny and Anushka Manchanda are prime attraction. This song will surely set the dance floor on the roll this new year.

Gubbare

Singers: Amit Trivedi, Shilpa Rao, Nikhil DSouza, Amitabh Bhattacharya

Harmonium-Keyboard combination,to begin with is a brilliant novelty. A peppy composition needs fresh vocals and Amit Trivedi manages to do it dazzlingly well. “Ai Dil Tujhe Pata Hai” part is simply splendid. Amit Trivedi uses his trademark music style; whistling, chorus and soft rock with brass band- saxophone. The soundtrack has been descent so far musically.

Aunty Jee

Singer: Ash King

Another out and out party number, with uncanny lyrics and energetic composition; the song sounds situational. Unlike Suno Aisha, this number is not addictive, and might not fare that well.

Aahatein

Singers: Karthik and Shilpa Rao

Karthik, for a change croons vocal this time, for Amit Trivedi style track. Melodious composition, good lyrics and Shilpa Rao’s singing makes it audible. But again, the song is not hummable.

Kal Chalna Shuru Tu

Singers: Vishal Dadlani, Shilpa Rao

Kar Chalna Shuru Tu is yet another situational song with profound lyrics. Vishal does a fair job on vocals, soft rock again, keeps you rolling and relaxed. Overall, a track neither exceptional nor awful.

One Line Music Review: EMAET is neither as melodious as Aisha nor much out of the box like No One Killed Jessica, this one lies somewhere between them.An Average one.
