If you listen to his Bengali songs, he sounds completely different. sang in a husky voice only when singing in Hindi. Kusnur: He has that husky voice to carry it off like R.D. This is evident in the ballads on this album like Bheega Mausam, Barsaat, Pyaar Hai and there is one more, Pyaar… Kusnur: It has a mix of ballads and fast songs. Me: Coming back to the album, this one is a very well balanced one. Kusnur: Ironically his birthday is on 15th August. Me: Pakistan origin man who lived all his life in London and Canada and is now an Indian! He played the electric piano and had done a classical-fusion album with Ustad Zakir Hussain in London. Kusnur: Yes it was and then they started highlighting Adnan Sami as the fastest pianist in the world, I don’t know what that term means. Kusner: It was a hit largely due to Asha but of course people recognised Adnan Sami’s voice too. Me: The first single was the title song which was a huge hit. In India, Adnan Sami was relatively unknown so the marketing focus initially was on Asha and then it shifted on him. So this album is more of a compilation of these two.

Some other songs were from his earlier album called Badalte Rishte in which Asha Bhosle had sung four songs. A couple of songs in this album were also used in the movie. Kusnur: He had worked with Asha Bhosle earlier for a Pakistani film called Sargam. Me: All the songs on this album were composed by Adnan Sami. Note: Language may be altered to suit the platform’s requirements. The album became an instant success and reportedly sold 4 million copies.Īfter a couple of failed attempts, I finally got fellow cowboy and musipedia Narendra Kusnur on the call to discuss this album for this week’s Album Talk. One of the last hit albums from that era is Adnan Sami’s Kabhi To Nazar Milao.Īdnan collaborated with the legendary Asha Bhosle on a collection of love songs on this album for which he composed the music too. It still doesn’t look old thanks to Adnan Sami’s futuristic vision which was too big for Pakistani films to handle.The Indi Pop era had a glorious run in the 1990s which unfortunately ended at the turn of the century. This song was on top of the music charts all over Pakistan when it was released. May be love was in the air due to the romantic numbers … hmmm. The film may look dated but the songs were way ahead of its times – in fact Adnan Sami and Zeba Bakhtiar married soon after the film’s release. The chemistry between Adnan Sami Khan and Zeba Bakhtiar in this song set the screen on fire the song is still popular after 2 decades because of its freshness at the time of its release. He used Asha Bhonsle as the voice of Zeba Bakhtiar that was later replaced by Hadiqa Kiani due to the lack of NOC from Pakistan Government. Sargam was responsible for bringing people back into the cinema in the mid-90s and Adnan Sami’s compositions were one of the reasons for the revival. The song was later used in Syed Noor’s Sargam where he used it to open the film. It was during the Elections of 1993 that this Muzaffar Warsi Hamd was rendered by Adnan Sami Khan and it went onto become one of the best renditions of the year. This song came out in the early 90s and helped establish Adnan as someone to follow!
