The singer’s debut album Zindagi Jahaan Le Jaaye is proof that he can broaden his discography and still outshine everyone.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been partial to a few things in life; dinner for breakfast, hiphop music, Harry Potter and the sound of Faisal Kapadia’s voice. I don’t care what you say, his is the second most unique voice I’ve ever heard — the first being Dolly Parton’s twangy singing. My mother’s terrorising screams are a close third.
Needless to say, I’ve been a fan of Kapadia since the days of ‘Dhaani’ and ‘Ye Hai Meri Kahani’. I came across Strings’ earlier gems like ‘Duur’, ‘Sar Kiye Ye Pahar’ and ‘Anjane’ much later due to being indoctrinated into consuming only Western music and Japanese cartoons as a kid. I don’t regret it.
