Pop music strikes back

It seems that pop music is going to be revived this year as so many albums have been released till now. This year opened up with some good albums and every month one or more good albums kept popping up in the market. So it doesn't sound strange to say that the pop singers are back with a bang. More than 15 albums have have been relesaed so far and all are very promising due to the lot of work done in the preparation of every album.

Junoon released its long awaited album Deewar a few months back. Though the album received a lukewarm response in the beginning, but with a couple of videos on air Junoon is trying to strike back in an excellent manner.

Rahim Shah, who has never been in the race of the releases, did his albums Channa last year in a very short interval of seven months. This year he has come up with a Pushto album. The album contains some good numbers that are likely to hit the charts. He has become one of the main stream artistes of the country and the reasons behind are his commitment with his profession and hard work.

Saleem Javed, who has the highest number of pop albums to his credit, also released his Koi To Aae Ga at the start of the year and Just after 8 months gave another album titled 'Best of Saleem Javed', which is a collection of his hit songs.

Jadoo, a band which came with a song in MCC way back in 94,' came back last year with a couple of videos that were well appreciated by the people, especially the video of the title song Nach Lain De gave them the break they were expecting for long. The album is a combination of slow and upbeat tracks.

Ahmad Jehnazeb, who entered the music industry by chance, has now released his album Parastish. Though Parastish contains a variety of slow and fast numbers, but the album is popular due to the beautiful ghazals sung by Ahmad. Now, the listeners are waiting for some good videos from his side.

Strings, who are in tough competition with Junoon, has also released Dhaani which is doing good business. With wonderful videos and beautiful songs, Strings has at last stroke back in an excellent manner.

Besides, two albums released by EP (EntityParadigm) and Aaroh are going well in the market. All said and done, it seems that the stillness that pop music was experiencing last year would end because so many new singers have given their best shots this time
