'Popularity is a rather relative term'
Kailash Kehr, your first album is out finally. Will the title track Teri diwani become as popular as your Allah ke bande?
To begin with, popularity is a rather relative term. Allah ke bande was a different product with its own message and Teri diwani is unique in its own way.
You can't really compare the two. All I can say is that the latter is an experimental blend of a tune that will stay in one's mind for a long time and a treatment that will more than satisfy one's aesthetic needs.
Why did you choose Hyderabad to shoot the video?
Hyderabad is a beautiful city wrapped in an aura of the past. My music is tinged with some distinct old-time flavours and a Sufi style. Therefore, there couldn't have been locales better than the Charminar, the Qutub Shahi Tombs and the Tank Bund to shoot them at.
They have added immense value to the song. I am really looking forward to doing more such projects in Hyderabad...
What do you have to say about the growing popularity of the Sufi touch in Indian film and pop music?
Sufism is all about seeing love and romance at a level that is nothing less than divine. Its lyrics and rendition are such that they will make the audience feel spiritually connected to everything around them.
People are finding this genre of music quite appealing and music directors are adapting it to suit the popular Indian taste. I feel that experimental Sufi styles will go a long way.
Tell something about the projects you have lined up for the future?
For the present album, I worked with a band of two artistes, Paresh and Naresh, and plan to work on my next project with them again. It will be distinctly different from the present one.
