We, at Sunday mid-day, are constantly searching for exciting indie music emerging from the country. And there is so much! Rap, especially, has taken over our imagination recently. And our latest love is Mumbai boy, Sahir the Magician, aka Sahir Nawab. Son of Nawab Arzoo, who wrote the SRK-hit Baazigar main baazigar, the 25-year-old music producer, says, "It's not really rap, but it's not hardcore singing either. I mostly focus on the lyrics, and that makes up the song and the vibe." We like that his musical styling is more melodic than others. He has a relaxed vibe and his songs have the R&B touch. His latest track, Guzarish, is a ballad with Urdu lyrics. "Yehi sifarish hai ki sukoon ke yeh do pal, na khatam ho." He says the lyrics are inspired by his childhoodhood. Well, it seems to be working.
