Today, I read some wise words on Facebook fan page of KoolMuzone by one of the members, Sara Khalid. Aag Alive should be one of the biggest concerts ever happened in the history of Pakistan. The concert is featuring 22 artists who will play for 12 hours on 25th of October. The concert will be […]
Here’s something that sounds pretty interesting. Pop band Strings and singer Atif Aslam have joined hands to churn out a song. It’s an issue-based number targeting the youth of the country. Composed by Bilal Maqsood and sung by Atif and Strings’ Faisal Kapadia, the song will be released in a month’s time.
‘Koi Aanay Wala Hai’ had angels flying and beautiful skyscrapers, ‘Humsafar’ took Strings out to Moscow and carries a signature of mystery while ‘Jago’ shed light on the underdog and the vigour to fight back. Before these outstanding videos, there was ‘Aakhri Alvida’ which was shot on the sets of Shootout at Lokhandwala and ‘Yeh […]
What if … Junaid Khan of Call joins EP instead while Xulfi flies solo Not that we don’t appreciate Call but since their days of Bollywood, the aggression and the passion that made the rock band and its lead singer Junaid Khan stand out from their first single, ‘Nishaan’ has all but disappeared.

Every song has the same […]

The picture was shared few days back by strings on their twitter account with a tagline “Something’s Cooking”. Later Shahbaz Aslam shared the same photo on Aadeez, Atif’s official fan club. No one knows as yet what is cooking, BUT there is defiantly something that’s cooking.
Strings had recorded a ‘jugalbandi’ of sorts with Indian Ocean across the border, for a joint Independence Day program. These are the links to the BBC website for the different parts of the same video Watch Part One Watch Part Two
So, the coke studio season 2 finally comes to an end. We all are going to miss the studio where the fusion happened and will desperately wait for the the third season to come (May Allah give long life to Rohail Hyatt). During the airing of the second season, we actively collected statistics and ran […]
