DESCRIPTION
"It appears that after threatening to do so for years now, Shiraz Uppal is about to come good and take his place among the A–list of local musicians. Some of the new songs by Shiraz are quite good; the first single and title track "Jhuki Jhuki" is certainly memorable. The song is unique in its soulfulness. The interaction between the instruments is also impressive.
Kaami, Shiraz's main guitarist is certainly going to be big. His playing is a revelation in its tastefulness and skill: it is jazzy when needed but sounds effortless and inspired at most times. His technique and more than that his expressiveness and ability to meld in distinct eastern influence as well marks him as a guitarist to watch. Baqir the other outstanding musician on album, on flutes, is consistently excellent. Most other instruments were played or sequenced by Shiraz himself.
He is by most accounts one of the nicest persons one will meet in the business. He certainly gives off that vibe, more of a family man and calmer than most stars or want–to–be–stars. That coupled with another one of his true assets, his voice, make him all the more compelling. His voice is one of the nicest around. It is not as explosive (Ali Azmat) or as skilled (Shafqat Amanat Ali) as many others, but there is something about its timbre that is appealing. His is one of the rarer voices which are more appealing when less active. For example in the verses to "Jhuki Jhuki," he just sounds better than most singers by not doing a lot.
Contrary to someone like Atif or Ali Noor whose choruses are stronger, Shiraz's singing in the verses was excellent and more convincing. Nevertheless, when it all comes together for him, as it does in most songs on his new album, Shiraz Uppal is consistently excellent. Overall, the evident passion and commitment to his work is what is impressive about Shiraz. The time and effort Shiraz has invested in his music is remarkable. How far he and his compositions have developed has been a revelation. His melodies are what best recommends him and are his strength. In view of all this there is little to deny now, that Shiraz Uppal who has skirted the boundaries of the mainstream in the past is with his latest album deservedly ready to stake a claim to wider acclaim." - The News International
