TAKE NOTE: Micky Narula is the latest entry to the music scene
Micky Narula, who is coming up with "Ranjhan Yaar", his latest album with eight Sufi songs sung and composed by him, says the word Sufi has great significance for him. Brother of the famous Punjabi singer Jaspinder Narula, Micky Narula was fascinated with Sufi music from the very beginning. He may have inherited his passion to compose and sing from his father K.S. Narula, a noted music director, but for this album he has drawn inspiration from the 16th and 17th Century Sufi singers who used to dress in blue.
Micky, who currently has two Hollywood movies under production named Gold Bracelet and My Nanaji's Wedding and a Pakistani movie, Dil se Dil Tak, avers that his philosophy about spirituality in real life is reflected in this album.
"The theme of the album is based on the famous love-fable of Heer-Ranjha, but the essence of its music lies in addressing the Almighty. There is no candy-floss romance shown in this album; rather there is a depiction of pious love."
Micky is very much against the distortion of music, which he thinks has become a general practice in the industry.
"What video-music albums provide us today is for the eyes and not the soul. One should think and make music beyond the physical self," he explains, adding, "We have made use of an Arabic instrument called oodh in our album. It is probably the first time anybody has ever experimented with it in Indian music."
Two songs from this maiden album of Frankfinn Music, "Yaar Mera" and "Ranjhan Yaar", have video versions starring fashion designer Vijaya. Having already designed for the film Apaharan, she is looking forward to more acting and designing assignments in Bollywood.
"Though I love fashion designing, my first preference would remain acting. I am looking forward to doing meaty roles in Bollywood, but as of now, I am waiting for the album to be released," says Vijaya.
