Review of Jupiters' New Album

Jupiters is one of oldest bands of Pakistani pop music scene. It is same bad that introduced Ali Azmat (presently working with Junoon), Jawad Ahmed (who is poplar solo singer these days) and Irfan Kiyani (who happens to be brother of Hadiqa Kiyani). Jupiters started promoting their music and band in mid eighties but their main focus was private functions where they used to perform on demand. Based in Lahore, this band maintained itself as a low-profile band. Still this band could be categorized as Underground band. If you are still wondering that which band it is then let me tell you these are same guys who introduced mega hit numbers like "Dosti" and "Saray Gidday Witch".

It's unfortunate that band's lead vocalist left and either started solo singing or joined any other band. Otherwise if they remained stick to Jupiters, this band was in position to enter in list of leading bands of Pakistan. Jupiters remained absent from local pop scene mostly for long time but now once again they are back just like Strings is back. Jupiters is back and back with a big bang. This big bang is their album "Jupiters".

The cover shows all seven-band members together for group-photo.Perhaps Jupiters is only band with largest number of band members. The ride starts with first track "Bali" that's getting popular day by day. This song simply captures your attention and you start your ride where you find every song melodious and give pleasant
effect to your ears. This album has diversification in it and Jupiters have taken care of every kind of music lovers. Every song is good and lyrics have been well written. But songs like "Bali", "Bawa" and "Dil Key Lagee" are simply treat to listen and demand your attention. Similarly patriotic song in this album gives very
smoothing effect to your ears and you enjoy sweet melody.
No matter if you like Pop, Soft Rock, Bhangra, Mystic or Patriotic songs; Jupiters have captured all dimensions effectively. Only this that seems missing is effective promotion of album. In this era of competition, so many bands and singers are coming up with new albums but effective promotion through Television has become best. Rather I should say that Song Videos have become vital element for success. Sponsorships are also required these days to prepare good videos so we hope Jupiters will now think about it.
With some catchy music, good lyrics and vocals, Jupiters are back with big bang. I will rate this album at number 7 out of maximum 10 rating scale. If you like good music then this album is just for you.
