Sajjad
Ali is one of the few pop singers who always come up with something
best every time. Having a classical training that unfortunately
is not much common in most of the pop singers, his pop songs turn
out best becususe of his musical depths. He is undoubtedly one of
those singers which are listened irrespective of the market trends.
At a time when singers like Abrar and Jawad are on rise and are
taking care of the whole pop industry with their Punjabi upbeat
Bhangra numbers, he is slowly taking the listeners by storm by his
slow numbers, a risk that many singers can't take. |

But
he has been successful enough in making the pop singers believe
that good music is that which has a good music and a good lyrics
and not one that has more dancing material. Sajjad Ali has been
churning out album after album for quite sometime but this Cd is
a combination of all of his best and popular songs uptill now.
Teri Yaad, a single from Zulfiqar Sheikh's play Thori Khushi Thora
Gham, has already a roaraing hit all over the country. The single
has once again proved beyong doubt that slow songs can be hit if
they have a good poetry and good vocals attached with them. It is
a must to listen if you want to enjoy some good music. Paniyon Mein,
another cool song takes you on another journey, where again vocals
play a very important role. This song is also a roaring success
these days and is topping the charts every where. This proves the
verstality that Sajjad Ali has got in his voice. Cinderalla, an
upbeat track got famous mainly because of Sajjad's earlier versions
of music, one because of which he is mainly famous of. The video
was a massive hit but only in Indian channels while in Pakistani
channels it could not get any popularity. Laiyan Laiyan, is a cool
number with upbeat music and matching tune. This song is also getting
fame but not much because of Teri Yaad and Panyon Mein. Pata Bata
Do, Sohni Lag Di and Larri Adda are three songs that have been taken
from Eik Aur Love Story, a film that was directed by Sajjad himself.
Though the film bombed badly at the box office but the songs are
still a treat to listen. Again this proves that Sajjad is a better
singer and a better musician rather than actor and director. Yaad
Tu is one of the most soul stirring songs of the whole album, the
impressive lyrics and the matching vocals expresses the real pain
through which the singer is passing. It is one of the most beautiful
songs of the whole collection.
Mahiwal belongs the time when pop music was at its peak, so there
are some touches of the patterns been adopted by the singer. A weak
selection for such a good album, there are many good numbers that
can stand out for this collection. Mehndi is another tragic song
of this album. It again is a beautiful song and has quite impressive
lyrics that are been highlighted by the good samples of music. Mood
is a mature effort by Sajjad Ali. Though there is a particular brand
of music that Sajjad Ali follows but he takes a variety in adopting
different tunes within them and creates a good song. Chal Jhooti
is not different from his earlier songs, the same music follows,
only the variation of tune can be felt. Similarly, most of his songs
sound good because Sajjad Ali suceeds in creating a classical touch
in them. So, whether it is a song like Laiyan Laiyan or a soul stirring
number like Teri Yaad, you will definately find a classical tune
and a classical voice in them. Babia is one song that will always
will remain the most popular song. It was the song that made Sajjad
Ali, a house hold name all over Pakistan and it was this very song
that changed the whole trend of pop music, musically as well as
by video. Its video was a trend setter and the tune though lifted
directly was a massive hit. The song was at every one's lips.
Overall, the album is quite a good attempt in bringing up all of
Sajjad Ali's best hits in one collection. It shows his nine year
pop career , the changes that he has taken over musically as well
as the trends that he has set in the Pakistani pop music. Musically
speaking, Sajjad Ali has matured a lot and now there are less commercial
numbers like Babia and Chief Saab. It is indeed a good sign and
that is why Sajjad Ali is currently becoming famous with every passing
day.
