Review of Jawad Ahmed's Ucheyan Majajan Wali

Jawad Ahmed is no doubt, one of best solo singers of Pakistan. He is very talented and versatile pop singer who always has some good lyrics for his songs. The best part is that he himself writes these lyrics mostly. Jawad's lyrics set him on course to greater heights 18 months ago when he released his hit album, "Bol Tsujhay Kiya Caheay". His most recent attempt is "Uchyaan Majajaan Wali".

This new album is different from his previous efforts, since comparatively speaking sit has more mainstream songs in Urdu than in Punjabi. From the start the album offers a string of commercially viable hits one after the other. The best-of tracks are the title track, "Tu Mairee Key Lagdi"s, "Aja Hun Dholna" and "Banto". Jawad
has also sung two songs, his trademark type, "Who Hai Tairaa Khuda" and "Deewanay".

The remaining songs of album have various shades of love he has in life, from the girls of his dreams to his country and then his faith in Allah. The song "Samaan Hai Yeh Mastana" is inspiration from neighboring country's hit song. Though he has done better with his pure Jawad hits, still the singer might have a good reason for copying this one.

Through this album, Jawad also promises to launch a campaign for education and mass awareness regarding issues such as environment, basic rights and literacy. We hope that he remains faithful to his aim and does not shift to pecuniary goals. Do buy this nice album and enjoy some good songs.

"Yaadein" another slow song. It Takes me back to the time of "Aamir Saleem".
Last is "Raag Trance", a very good effort by Shahzad. There is no doubt that he is a good composer may be a great one.

I enjoyed listening to this CD and would probably listen to the songs "Saajna", "Sodiyaay", "Pyar" one more time. As I do that, you also go ahead and enjoy the music by Shahzad Haroon.
