Hey friends I saw Sonuji's Bheege Bheege nayan from Classically Mild being aired in an upcoming T.V.Serial titled as "Ranbir Rano", it was shown in the promo of the serial that it was a couple in the rain and in the background this song was being played and the girl in that was planning a plot shrewdly as usual in all the T.V.Serials, hehe..
Anyways I felt elated that thank God, atleast they have promoted the album anyhow and it will reach atleast to ears of some more out there who appreciate music but are unaware of the album...
Thank god, and 3 cheers for this.
Hip Hip... Hurray!!

Sonuji Sings In Delhi-6 ??? - Still 2 Confirm !!
The very short, intense looking teaser was a collage of scenes from old Delhi such as the Friday prayers at the Jama Masjid and cycle rickshaws in the meandering lanes of the old town interspersed with shots of the Statue of Liberty, a carefree Sonam Kapoor dancing with a pigeon perched on her head and Abhishek Bachchan in a variety of moods. And a soulful, unmistakably A.R. Rahman number in
Sonu Niigaam’s voice playing in the background ???
The film’s stellar cast includes Waheeda Rehman, Om Puri, Rishi Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Pawan Malhotra, Atul Kulkarni, Supriya Pathak, Tanvi Azmi, Divya Dutta, Vijay Raaz, Deepak Dobriyal and KK Raina. It is co-produced by UTV and Mehra and slated for release on February 20, 2009.
Lets just wait and see !!!
Music is a part not my entire life’
‘Music is a part not my entire life’
Be it the warmth of Sonu Niigaam’s voice or his gestures, his charm never ceases to fade. An accomplished artiste in himself and an insipration for many budding singers, Sonu’s finally back on the scene after a two-year-long break from Bollywood music industry. Of this and more, he gets candid in an interview with us...
We haven’t been hearing you much. Any particular reason for keeping a low profile?
I have been in America for the last two years and was busy doing concerts, making friends etc. Actually I wanted to seclude myself from the world to analyse my life and many other things. I didn’t want to repeat things that I have been doing for the past 15 years. This, in the process has helped me in taking filtered work. Now I work for only those with whom I gel.
How has music helped you grow?
Music is a part of life; it’s not my entire life. I am not a clichéd singer who would say ‘I can't live without music.’ There are different faculties that I invest my time into like reading, dancing, playing percussion, yoga and a lot more. Being very specific, ‘Music is an expression of my hardwork.’
Tell us about your new projects?
I have done a song for Aditya Chopra’s SRK starrer upcoming film. Actually Aditya wanted a voice who could give shades of five great actors of yesteryears – Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Rishi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Shammi Kapoor. It’s a cult song. Apart from this I am working with Sajid-Wajid, AR Rahman, Vashu Bhagnani and others.
What more apart from singing?
I have been reading scripts for many movies. My last performance in Kash... Aap Humare Hote was appreciated, so now I am being careful about selecting movies. Besides that, every week I get at least two offers from music channels but I don't want to do shows which aim at insulting the contestants and creating controversies.
Do you think global financial crisis will affect music fraternity and the singers?
In India, singers earn only by way of concerts and shows. So obviously, if these shows get affected, it will impact singers and music fraternity too.
There was a controversy about a journalist sending you gay messages and asking for private time. You held a press conference but then later refused to talk about it. Why?
It was the right thing to do at that time. I didn’t want to dwell on it anymore, and it's not such an important part of my life. That journalist behaved like a child and I just tried curbing it. I don’t have any grudge against him; I hope he doesn’t have it either.

Ghazal Rhapsody
Talat Aziz’s latest album promises to be his most versatile so far
It's been a while since ghazal singer Talat Aziz burst on the Indian classical music scene with the melodic Baat phholon ki and Zindagi jab bhi teri bazm from Umrao Jaan. Aziz’s stirring voice now returns with Carvaan-e-Ghazal, a nine-track album produced by Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Music that will release in January 2009.
Aziz’s previous album, Silver Jubilee Concert, in 2004, met with lukewarm response. This album, he says, follows a more contemporary sound. Aziz has been lately accused of tampering with the original ghazal sound and blending it with jazz and other forms. “I don’t see anything wrong with experimenting with sound especially at a time when Urdu as a language is fading,” says Aziz.
“It is important to make youngsters relate to this form of singing.” Aziz acknowledges the dwindling audience for ghazals, but is optimistic that things will improve. Interestingly, the singer has chosen completely unknown verse by his favourite poets- like Ghalib, Zafar and Faiz Ahmad Faiz for this album.
“So far Ghalib has overshadowed most Urdu writers. But there are many other great poets as well,” he says. One of the tracks from the album is a duet with playback singer Sonu Nigam. Talking about interactions between Pakistani and Indian singers coming to a halt post the Mumbai attacks, Aziz says, “We can’t hamper the musical relationship that has been shared for decades, just because of a few crazy men.”
