The second coming of Ali Azmat
After 2005’s critically acclaimed Social Circus, Pakistan’s original rock rebel is back. Klashinfolk proves Ali Azmat made just the right call by going solo from Junoon. He dons the role of singer, songwriter and producer and delivers on all three fronts.
Artist: Ali Azmat
Album: Klashinfolk****1/2
The icon returns
There’s a song on Ali Azmat’s new album, Klashinfolk, titled ‘Sawal’, a lyrical expression on the ongoing depression that has for some time been sweeping across the nation. ‘Sawal’ hints at our perpetually uncertain future and the affect this uncertainty on the lives of everyone.
“Manzar Sara Dekho/Bikhra Huwa/Lagta Hai Aisa Rahega…/Ankhein Wohi Dekhain/Pal Kay Safar Mein Musafir Ka Manzar Hai Kya/Kya Arooj Kya Zawal/Kya Khushi,” Ali asserts with the conviction of a man whose been watching it all unravel for quite some time now.
