“I would be making songs for movies and I would find myself trying to break the fourth wall and put my feelings on to the characters, and just as I was doing that, I would realise that I was doing something wrong, because the situation that this character was going through is something I haven’t gone through.” “It came out from a place…” he starts, stopping and restarting. Why make an album in this market, I ask - and out comes a very long reply, with a backstory. The plan is to release one single every month for six months, and then let the album roll out. 'Main Tera', directed for the screen by Mohammad Ehtashamuddin - the director of Superstar - is the first of six singles he plans to release. He doesn’t want to be known as the rich kid of well-known parents, he told me a year or so ago when we last met for an interview for Icon. That is what Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Superstar and Parey Hut Love’s music - all of which he composed - was about, and more importantly, this is what this album is about. So, whenever we speak - which is usually after long spans of months - he appears to be aware of his privileged space…and that is why he is always so adamant in making a mark for himself. Born as the golden boy of celebrity parents who have international following - Zeba Bakhtiar and Adnan Sami Khan - brought up and pampered by an industry people spend lives trying to get a foothold in, he knows things might have been a tad easy for him. I could hardly tell.Īzaan is the same as the day I first met him: humble, anxious, young, ambitious. Azaan tells me that they need a bit of tweaking in the mixing stage. A sort of subconscious rhythm flows through them.
The gesture was natural and sweet, but it didn’t take my mind off the wonderful tunes that played out of the speakers he had set up.
Approximately two weeks before 'Main Tera', the first single of his new album that hit the airwaves, Azaan Sami Khan played me three tracks ('Jadugari' and 'Tu' being the other two) from it, at his new under-construction house in DHA.Īs I watched a cut of the 'Main Tera' music video - the green screen obvious behind the talent in a few shots - Azaan began pacing a portion of his lawn connecting to the veranda (that is, I think it would be a lawn the work was all over the place).Īzaan paced back and forth, his expression that of a father who wants to show the world his baby, but is anxious - perhaps unnerved - by potential reactions.
