Song : Ab To Aadat Si Hai
Album : Jal Pari
Original Singer : Atif Aslam
Sung By : Vishal
I was always facinated by Pakistani singers and musicians. My love affair started with Mehdi Hasan Sahab. My dad had a old collection of all his Gazals ! (But ofcourse, I was not suppose to touch it ;-) ..). Then came Purani Jeans which was a craze in school days. Later got into Nusarat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab and I thought I just heard GOD ! During college days I drifted to rock music but somewhere down the line I heard Sajjad Ali's "Pehle Saal" and Waqar Ali's " Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat" and I was back to track again ;-). Infact after coming to US, only hindi music I
ever listen to is Pakistani ;-) Yeah my friends tease me for that..but well I believe, we have serious talent across the border and its our misfortune that we can't get to hear them much.
Pakistani Pop/Rock music has evolved over the years. To name a few, listen to singers/bands like Vital Signs,Junoon, Meekal Hasan, Noori,Sajjad Ali, Ahmed Jehanzeb, Jal, Fuzon, Strings, and you wonder why not many people know about them ! If you like Hindi Pop/Rock then this is it ! and not the stupid remix thing. When I hear a remix of an old song it just kills me :- ..Yep we have lot of talent/underground bands in India too but it will take a while for bands to come up, as our film music industry is giant and only people who can produce consistently good songs can survive. We do get to see some bright sparks sometimes but usually they are just one song wonders :-))
I feel there are some songs by singers, to which no one can ever do justice as the original. " Ab To Aadat Si Hai" is one of that kind. If you haven't heard it before, then listen to the original song by Atif Aslam from his Album ( not the one from the movie ) and you will know what I mean ;-). But ofcourse after that you wouldn't want to listen to mine ..hehe ....
The track is not that of a good quality but I was just glad to even get an instrumental track for this song ! I hope you like it ... If you are a fan of Atif ..please dont kill me ..hehe ...

Very interesting! I am a big fan of Fuzon myself. But for some reason, I am more impressed by the performers across our border! I guess we value more what is out of our reach - human nature!
Regardless, I am very glad to see you perform this song. This is another dimension of yours that you have shared with all of us.
Wonderful singing! I have not heard the original but I am sure it is not going to sound much different :)
Good work!
This was really a different attempt. I liked it.
Nice. :)
Keep coming more
Vishal i like this song and u have sung it really well, suit ur voice perfectly.
this is really neat..forget the track quality! I wanted to check if your 'disclaimer' would live up to its words..but it didnt.
i have another track by Atif, if you would like to sing do let me know.
Atif is really awesome. All the kids in India love his songs. There is some sort of magic in his voice.... all his sad songs make you cry....even if you don't love anyone! And if you do.... All the feelings in his voice bring out your own. Btw, have you heard doorie?
Anonymous,
Yep ...Atif has his unique style which I like ..Infact, I followed his Jal band even before they broke up and Atif got famous later on in India ;-) ..I am out of touch with Pakistani Music scene lately but heard doorie sometimes back ...
