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.

Salman is a murderer and useless freak. I am confident his brother will keep up the good name of his family.
I cannot perceive how they have fans. Does no one have any concience any more in this world.

riya, did he become a drunkard because he cannot distinguish between water and rum?

For your kind information Riya, killing someone while driving under the influence of alcohol is treated as first degree murder. That is no accident. Ofcourse fanatics will never accept or understand this.
Had it been one of your own in under his car, would that have been an accident? Also Riya film artists do not necessarily live the roles they act. So please wake up.
Besides, had he been in the US, his fate might have been different. But then my strong belief is justice is always served one way or the other.
