Atif Aslam is a raging sensation in the subcontinent, especially among young women. He is the Pakistani version of Enrique, if you will. Or better yet, a 27 year old Justin Bieber (in terms of fan hysteria) with a voice to die for. With 3 albums to his name (Jal Pari, Doorie, Meri Kahani), and his singing talents on blockbuster Bollywood musicals like Kalyug and Race to name a few, Atif is the current face of the desi music industry. He has already conquered Pakistan and is fast emerging as the go-to man for Bollywood film producers.
Pop sensation Atif Aslam has teamed up with ex-Guns N’ Roses members for an album. Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Aslam said that Pakistan is very talented especially in the field of music and his joint venture will provide yet another international platform to the local music industry.
The first track of the album has already been recorded in Los Angeles, he said. The band members left the iconic band to form Velvet Revolver with Slash.
“Collaborating with the band is a success for the whole music industry in Pakistan,” he said. During the press conference the singer said, “As per the contract with the American band, I will be able to represent Pakistani culture in this album. It will clear many misunderstandings about Pakistan.”
The album is called The Dreamer Awakes.
Aslam said, “The first track of the album is in Punjabi and its music has been composed by the American partners.”
