f there is something called instant connection, then Atif Aslam's singing typifies it--soulful yet quivering with fervent youthful energy.
Atif is the latest in the line of talented crop of Pakistani singers we have seen in recent times... Nazia Hassan (need one say much...:-)), Jahangir Hassan (remember Hawa Hawa!), Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Raahat Fateh Ali, Adnan Sami (of Lift Karaa De fame) and Strings' Faisal and Bilal (recall Dhaani?).
Continuing the trend was a young Atif. Along with his Jal band mate Goher, Atif hit the scene with Aadat. The year was 2004. A video shot in a colonial Karachi mansion became an instant craze in Pakistan topping the radio FMs in that country.
Mahesh Bhatt is attributed to giving Atif his Bollywood break. The very next year (2005) Atif crooned to chart-busting Woh Lamhe from Zeher.
Since then, his popularity shows no sign of ebbing...
Here's a look at Atif Aslam's Bollywood songs:
Tu Jaane Na (Film: Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, 2009; Music: Pritam Chakraborty): This wonder-struck love ballad is high on mood. Youthful, soulful yet happy and so full of love, it has been an instant hit with the young ones.
Tera Honey Laga Hoon (Film: Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, 2009 Music: Pritam Chakraborty): Here's another one from Atif-Pritam team. Giving company is immensely talented Alisha Chinnoy. Cast in the young, soft rock genre, this love sonnet is vintage Atif. It suits Ranbir Kapoor to the T.
Pehle Nazar (Film: Race, 2008; Music: Pritam Chakraborty): Throbbing with sensual energy is this number from Race. The emotional urge and urgency of this song is sure to blow listeners away; small wonder it was a smashing hit.
Tere Bin (Film: Bas Ek Pal, 2006; Music: Pritam Chakraborty): Here's another cracker from the Atif stable. Young, passionate, longing and oh-so-sensuous! Well, almost hinting at lust!
Woh Lamhe (Film: Zeher, 2005; Music: Anu Malik & Roop Kumar Rathod): The song that got Atif on a long road to Bollywood fame and one that got Indians to be introduced to the youngster from across the border. Vibrant, alive, passionate, emotional, full throated; this was young Atif being introduced to Indians for the first time.
