Classical singer Javed Bashir is the recent addition to the bandwagon of Pakistani singers who have exported their talent to India. After releasing his album Subrang in India and splitting from Meekal Hasan Band (MHB), the vocalist is back on the music scene with his debut Bollywood song “Piya Tu Kaahe Rootha Re”.
The song features in the Vidya Balan starrer Kahaani and has a gloomy yet catchy tune. It seems like the composer of the song was a fan of MHB at some point, as the song has the band’s signature folksy Punjabi ring to it, or maybe it was just Bashir’s heavy vocals that demanded a similar grungy genre of music to complement it. After his amazing performance of “Aj Latha Naeeo” in “Coke Studio” season 2, the maestro has proven his vocal talent again, showing that he is someone listeners should look out for in the future.
