Indipopper Kamaal Khan (Pop singer and brother of Bollywood star Salman Khan) firmly believes that music should be heard, not seen. Perhaps that explains why his third album, Kal Raat (HMV-Sa Re Ga Ma) had such a low-key launch. In town to wax eloquent about Kal Raat, Khan (who hit the headlines last year as Salman Khan’s mysterious friend who was with the actor during that infamous hit-and-run accident) says: I’ve been around for five years and have two successful albums to my credit. Huge launches are for newcomers not for singers who have been around. I’ve never cared for lavish music release parties anyway, they divert the attention from the real thing the album.
Khan spent one-and-a-half year putting together the album, recorded in New York and London. And guess what? He labels Kal Raat as different. Sounds familiar? Well, to quote Khan: Kal Raat has peppy, fresh sounds, very different from O Oh Jane Jana (his debut album in ’98) and Suno To Deewana (2000). I’ve retained the essence of a Kamaal Khan album and added a dash of the ’80s pop flavour this time. I’ve composed the music and the lyrics are by Raju Singh.
So, for someone who only wants his music to be heard, why did he have to shoot his first music video in Rome? We shot in and around the Colosseum for a week with Italian models. Even I realise that getting a catchy new video is important to get the audience attention. But unless your album is good, the buyer won’t give it a second look, he says.
After his year-long sabbatical from film playback, 2003 promises new notes for Khan: I’m doing playback for A R Rahman in Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, starring Salman Khan and Preity Zinta, and directed by Atul Agnihotri. And there’s another project lined up that has Himesh Reshamiya as the composer. I’m also acting in Jo Bole So Nihal, directed by Rahul Rawail. I play a parallel role with Sunny Deol, so I’m very, very excited.
Here’s hoping that Kamaal Khan’s excitement also adds up to sound business.

I feel the only reason he got to sing for A R Rahman is because, the director of Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha is Atul Agnihotri who is Kamaal Khan's brother-in law. Post comments.

Oh! Please! Kamal Khan and a singer?
Bathroom singers are professionals compared to this very nasal khan. Guys like him and Nitin Bali (who is now torturously recycling some Kishore Kumar numbers) somehow manage to pool in money and other resources and get albums (all bums?) released.
Close your eyes and listen to his freaky hit, "Oho Jan e Jana", and you can visualize a very effeminate man crooning in the bathroom, wih hair wrapped in a pink towel, applying lipstick! Yikes!! It gives me the creeps!

I think Kamal Khan is a great singer. And by the way he looks you can believe he is related to Salman Khan as they are both good looking.

I have heard Kamaal Khan's songs and think they are beautiful, so is his voice. I think everyone out there should give him a chance to prove himself and not make nasty comments. Its the listeners who make and break the artists, so dont break this one.All he wants is for his songs to be heard and accepted. He has a great soothing voice and his songs are lovely. I wish him all best for the future. Kamaal hold in there and remember the man above always answers your DUAAS. So dont forget him.

What is this..an India pakistan bashing or something related to muslims or hindus..?
Ppl..be fair..u may an opinion..but this is a democracy..if ppl like him,then he will be a hit otherwise he willnot..plz stop making unnecessary comments so as to satisfy ur ownselves..it is painful to others..just give ur opinion...every body will respect it.
My personal feeling is that he is not a good singer.He is just there because of Salman.That is my thought....u may have ur own..
