CHORDS AND NOTES
JAGJIT FOREVER
`Sa Re Ga Ma,' Rs.65
For those who have not heard Chitra Singh for a long time, for those who still long for Jagjit's ghazals in which she accompanies him and for those who miss earlier melodies of the duo (with which they shot to fame) this album is just apt.
From the nostalgia evoking `Kaghaz ki Kashti' to `Mere Jaise Ban Jaoge,' from `Pareshan Raat Sari Hai' to `Socha Nahi Achcha Bura,' `Milkar Juda Hue' to `Agar Hum Kahen' and then that warning of love, `Baat Niklegi To,' the songs are too good to resist.
All the 12 ghazals are a journey back to the 1980s when there were not many singers around.
Buy it for the evening you would like to spend with your beloved, buy it because it is worth having an album that is far removed from songs and yet so melodious.
NAQSH-E-NOOR
Sa Re Ga Ma, Rs.55.
Finally we have a female voice actually tailor-made for ghazals minus the required pitch in the absence of which Anita Singhvi's voice breaks and turns shrill. The choice of ghazals in the album is good.
After a long gap do we hear some good Urdu couplets in the lyrics of Amjad Aslam Amjad, Javed Qureshi, and Akhtar Shirani. Singhvi also sings Begam Akhtar's `Un Aankhon ka Salam' and Javed Qureshi's `Aashiyane ki Baat Karte Ho.' The unfortunate part is these ghazals don't touch a nerve because Singhvi's rendition lacks soul.
