Good will

After launching his album in Pakistan recently, Yasir Jawed (of Kalavati fame) is off to India for the international launch of his debut album, Ibtida via the Indian record label, HMV. True to the spirit of Indian pop music, a couple of tracks from the album will be remixed.

Interestingly enough, Yasir Jawed who started off by releasing Kalawati as a part of a two-person group, Yasir and Faraz, with local guitar maestro Faraz Anwar, has released the album as a solo artiste saying that Faraz was hesitant in releasing a full-length album as a duo. Also that Faraz preferred limiting his contribution to the album as a producer only. This comes as a major disappointment considering that fusion music predominant in Kalavati seemed well-composed and one looked forward to more musical collaborations between the two musicians.
