On reaching heavens, when God asked a deaf “What hurt u most on my earth”, He replied, “the only thing I felt being a deaf is that I couldn’t hear the insane sounds that came from my soul’s strings.”
And its that kind of music, which STRINGS come out with.
‘STRINGS’ is a Pakistani band that currently comprises of two artists Faisal Kapadia (vocals) and Bilal Maqsood (composer, guitarist and sometimes on vocals too). Faisal, the lead singer has a great bassive tone in his voice and to produce ‘sur’full singing with that kind of voice texture, is an uniqueness itself. Bilal, on the other hand does the compositions for the band. As a singer his singing is sweet and mellow. The best thing about their creations is the simplicity in lyrics…all of them are so easily written n composed perfectly. Likewise the video of the songs are simple n straight forward (no overloading of fleshy girls as most of the Indian non-filmy NRI DJ-remixed songs have unfortunately)…for e.g…’Duur’ video…the duo stuck amidst a hot desert…nothing great bout the video…just great singing n soulful lyrics.

Initial albums of the four membered band were ‘strings’ and ‘string2’. But the two membered band ‘Strings’ came in the limelight with their album ‘Duur’. Some of the songs of their album which are still very prominent are ‘Duur’, ‘Sar kiyae pahar’, ‘Anjaane’. Their latest album ‘Dhaani’ contains tracks like ‘Dhaani, ‘Chaaye Chaaye’, ‘Sohniyae’, ‘Bichra yaar’ and ‘Naajanay kyoun’ (which also featured as an OST in Spiderman 2).
A apart of various albums, the band also have some great singles in their musical kitty such as ‘Hai koi hum jaisa’ (song on cricket world cup), ‘Jeet lo dil’ (with the Indian band Euphoria), ‘Ye hai meri kahani’ (featured in bollywood flick ‘Zinda’) and the latest being ‘Beirut’ (a anti-war song).
