Sajjad Ali’s new album – Chahar Balish
Sajjad Ali is one of the most respected singers in the Pakistan music industry today. he has managed to consistently deliver quality music and he has proven time and again, that he has what it takes to outlast all his contemporaries. Sajjad Ali has constantly re-invented himself with every album he has put out. He started of as a neo-classical ghazal singer, discovered mass appeal as a pop singer and then became more of a filmi/background singer. Now he has returned with his latest effort “Chahar Balish” which still contains his trademark addictive melodies, but finds him in a more somber mood.
Chahar Balish’s sound is refreshingly different and progressive. The very well-sung, techno-laden folk in Pekar (language?), the delightfully rhythmed and sung Rang laga, the soulful Gaddiye and Dil pareeshan, the filmi Katna nai and the western structure in Chal ren de are fascinating. What doesn’t work however is the resurgence of Sajjad’s own hit, ABBA knock-off (Lay all your love on me) Bolo bolo, and Nai thakda, evoking embarrassing memories of the singer’s Cinderella days! This is Sajjad Ali’s most accomplished work yet – his impressive and flexible vocals, and the lively experimentations in tune and backgrounds are in top form!
