Popular
musician Maha Ali Kazmi, who first made her debut with ‘Nazar’ in 2013,
introduces her latest single ‘Jana Nahi’, releasing nationwide on audio
and video on Eid-ul-Fitr 2014.
‘Jana Nahi’
portrays love and parting; a bitter end to what could have been
beautiful and a harmonious union of hearts; a song in the remembrance of
love found, love lost; something that turns the fate around, that
leaves a trail of memories, some bitter, some sweet, along the path of dreams of yesterday and yonder, where its video represents a girl in pursuit of love.
The
concept behind the video is derived from the feeling one gets while
awakening from a very pleasant dream. For a few seconds, you are
disconnected from the harsh realities of life; and then it dawns upon
you that it was just a dream.
Born in
Karachi and a self-taught artist, Maha started writing songs at the age
of 16 following which she graduated in Finance &
Macroeconomics/Management from Monash University,
Melbourne – Australia. In 2013, Maha was selected as the backup vocalist
for Cornetto Music Icon where she performed alongside artists such as Ali Azmat, Strings and Alamgir to name a few.
With vast musical influences that
include Nancy Sinatra, Janis Joplin, John Lennon toRolling Stones, Simon
and Garfunkel and The Smiths name a few, Maha latest single ‘Jana Nahi‘
has been produced by the legendary Shahi Hasan of Vital Signs and features ace-guitarist Asad Ahmed of Awaz and Coke Studio
fame. Written and composed by Maha Ali Kazmi, the music video for Jana
Nahi has been directed by film-maker and photographer Aania Shah with
wardrobe by Adnan Pardesy, hair & make-up by N-Pro and features
Usman Malkani as the Director of Photography.
On the launch of Jana Nahi, Maha has said, “This
is a special occasion for me. Even though I started writing songs as
young as 16 years old, this was my first Urdu song which I composed and
wrote myself. I never thought I’d ever pull it off however with support
from family and friends this was possible. Jana Nahi is about love and
parting; a bitter end to what could have been beautiful and a harmonious
union of hearts; a song in the remembrance of love found, love lost;
something that turns the fate around, that leaves a trail of memories,
some bitter, some sweet, along the path of dreams of yesterday and
yonder.”
