Khwabon Ke Rastey:
Najam is one artist who is always up to something stimulating and exciting. Be it a patriotic effort or a tribute for the Almighty, Najam has proved his mettle each time. His latest self-titled album has some terrific numbers namely, Khawabon Key Rishtey, Dil Tumhara Bhi Hai, Chorin Na, Chere Man Kai Taar, etc. The lead track, Khawabon Key Rishtey, is a personal favourite. The track kicks off with blazing guitar chords and soon Najam hits the bass with his high pitched energetic vocals. Probably, his best performance to date, Najam simply captivates the listener with his commendable voice equally supported by immaculate production work by Chris Eaton. I especially love the guitar play throughout the course of the song that has meaningful lyrics such as "Raastey dekhe, manzil na payi, saathi mile tau, per wo kalli me aayi, khwabon key rishtey hain".
The video of the track is unique in concept that carps at present
day evils such as child abuse, teenage addictions, etc. Although, the video has come under severe criticism from various music pundits, I believe it's high time one must gaze at harsh realities before it's too late. Hats off to Najam for making such a bold video!
