DESCRIPTION
"After waiting three long years for another album by pop sensation Shehzad Roy, Buri Baat Hai is no disappointment. With two songs so far on video, Saali and Hum Ek Hain, the promise of more videos to come fills with anticipation the ears, eyes and, perhaps most of all, one’s sense of humour.
In both song and video form, Saali has been one of the season’s biggest pop hits. “I have always heard the term saali, and for some reason I just like the word,” explains Shehzad. “It’s a cultural term and I wanted to play around with it in song.” Since the release of Saali’s video, the song’s popularity has generated a bit of controversy as well. So many young people have been singing the song’s lyrics that they were inevitably overheard and misinterpreted. “A few people thought that kids were singing an abusive word that sounds similar to Saali, but that has nothing to do with my song. Saali means one’s wife’s sister in Urdu, it is a relationship that is part of our culture and that’s what I am talking about in my song.”
A deep regard for Pakistan’s culture runs through much of Shehzad’s music. Buri Baat Hai’s other hit, Hum Ek Hain is born of Shehzad’s deep appreciation for all things Pakistani. “It’s a patriotic song,” Shehzad says, “though not one that is filled with bland praise for Pakistan. It acknowledges the problems we face but says that we have the strength to overcome them together.” Shehzad admits to being very patriotic, a sentiment which he says profoundly influences his work. The video for Hum Ek Hain stars the Pakistan national cricket team with Imran Khan playing a major role. “The song is supposed to represent Pakistan, and I can’t think of a better ambassador than Imran Khan,” says Shehzad about the choice to include the cricket star in his video. “He is also a close friend who offered me a lot of support in founding the Zindagi Trust which brings working children back to school.”
Shehzad’s newest album is still fresh and new, with plenty of tracks to please a range of rhythmical and lyrical tastes." - Dawn, Sept., 18, 2005
