Journey (Indipop - Fuzon)

Fuzon’s sound has become more like an Indipop group than a Pakistani group, in Journey. The mellow Abhi hum and Tu kahan, the ballad’ish Jo dil ne, the semi-classical styled Suna suna and the stunningly beautiful Neend na aaye impress the most. These tracks are easy on the ears with simple, recall-worthy tunes. Dholna too is catchy, though with messy vocals, while the pop-tinged Teri yaadaan works for the interesting, Leslie Lewis’ish tune. But, besides the fact that we listeners really miss Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan’s vocals, the band has a pretty impressive set of tunes in their latest album.

Dude, congrats on making NPR. NPR is very popular nation-wide and major junta listens to it during their commute.

Karthik,

First post here, though a regular reader for a year. It’s kinda funny - I was actually searching for a review of this album just a few hours ago, and voila! you have the review.

I guess you can read minds as well as you can figure out stolen tracks :). Neend na aaye is truly a a wonderful listen.

I quite like this one. Abhi Hum and Jo Dil Ne Kaha (especially the main refrains) are my favs.

What happened to Shafqat though? He only sings on his own now?

Neend Na Aaye and Suna Suna are very good but the rest didn’t impress me much.

The album does miss Shafqat badly, the new singer tries desperately but is just not there. Shafqat would’ve taken Neend Na Aaye to even greater heights :)

Ya, the album misses Shafqat…Though you can listen to ‘Neend Na Aaye’ and other songs in his voice from net, recorded before he left the band…But in my opinion the best ‘Neend Na Aaye’ version is the acoustic one available on Gofish [http://www.gofish.com/player.gfp?gfid=30-1029933]…Beautiful song!!!

Karthik, where’s the review for Raghu Dixit’s album? Forget over the border pop, and listen to some desi rock.
