- Boond, a drop of Jal - The band!!
Exclusively for all the fans of Jal - The band, and if you don't appreciate Jal very much, then you will surely enjoy it more than that. The very 1st album of Jal has already rocked not only Pakistan but the entire subcontinent. The band has Gohar Mumtaz (the lead and rhythm guitarist, vocalist-composer and lyricist), Farhan Saeed (the lead vocalist) and Shazi who is the bass guitarist. I am very much in favour of the big break-up of Atif Aslam and Gohar. Amazed!! Yeah, it's true. That split has yielded two entirely different kinds of music. One is the music of Jal - The band. The band got formed in year 2002 in Lahore and their first album Aadat was released in December 2003. Jal mainly focuses on pop and soft rock genre. The melody and lyrics are the chief ingredients of their stuff.
All right, don't get frustrated, I am just coming to the news, it is about 'Boond A drop of Jal', second album of the band. Sounds cool? But according to my expectations and Jal's aspirations, this Boond is an ocean itself. It has 12 songs, including two unplug versions and two remixes.
Khurram Mumtaz, band manager of Jal – The band and brother of Gohar exclusively talks about the upcoming album of Jal.
So Khurram why you people named it Boond, yeah, it sounds cool, it is related to jal. Is it the only reason?
Yeah! Boond makes jal. But Jal is contributing a 'Boond, A drop of Jal' to the music industry of Pakistan. We are working hard to make it as upstanding as Aadat.
We hope so! When you people are planning to release this new one?
Jal is supposed to release this album in the 2nd week of July.
Oh! Then we must look forward to having some more soft and sweet rock?
Yeah! Very soon! Insha Allah. We are busy in the shootings of the very 1st video of a song from this album Raatein.
I thought you'd first work on your title track. I guess Boond.
Boond is just the name of the album. It's not a title track, I mean it is not a song.
Right! Jal – The band has once rocked India. Have you people any plans to perform for any of the Indian flicks?
We will wait for a good banner.
Couldn't find any, yet?
We have had many offers from Bollywood, like Muhesh Bhatt called us for his movie Train, five months back.
That was not a better option, you think. Himesh has done its music.
No, it isn't so. But we will wait for something different.
A stuff that suits you?
Exactly!
If you'll get a stuff like that, but Jal would have to perform with Atif? How'd it sound to you?
Not that cool! We have no personal conflicts indeed but professionally it doesn't sound rocking. Sometimes we find it difficult to perform together at concerts. We had some similar tracks like Aadat, and who likes monotony. Gohar Mumtaz (the lead guitarist and vocalist of Dil Haray) says: "We are very much busy in the shootings of the videos of our two songs; soon we'll come up with a few mellifluous melodies."
It was all about Jal – The band. Their previous album Aadat, was simply awesome. Now I am waiting to get Boond, A drop of Jal, as soon as I can but not befor July.
