Music is its own recommendation: Javed Akhtar
Mumbai | January 23, 2007 9:39:55 PM IST

''Music is its own recommendation,'' says Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar.

''Some people, while trying to move up the ladder of success, forget their roots. But, this is not the case with Meenal,'' he said at the launch of the debut album of Indian Idol 2 finalist Meenal Jain ''Mehram''.

''Meenal is articulate and communicative. These kids need no recommendation,'' he complimented. Meenal Jain's debut album ''Mehram'', released by Times Music, is an attempt to present Sufi Music with a global appeal. Composed and mixed aesthetically by Harpreet Singh and rendered by Meenal. The album showcases a blend of traditional and contemporary Sufi music scripted by R S Sangha along with excerpts from works of mystic poets like Baba Bulle Shah, Meera, Kabir and others. Speaking on the occasion, Meenal said, ''I am happy that so many people have come to support me and Harpreet has taken my voice seriously.'' Meenal has not only sung for Ram Gopal Varma's film ''Go'' but also for its Tamil and Telugu versions. She has recently performed at The Royal Albert Hall in London with celebrated singers like Sonu Nigam, Abida Parveen and Furzon.

'Mehram' unveils at Planet M

On January 23, the Planet M outlet at CST has turned in to a galaxy of stars as celebrities like Javed Akhtar, Johnny Lever, Kailash Kher, Avatar Gill and many others had gathered there to launch the debut album of Meenal Jain, the Indian Idol 2 finalist.

Javed Akhtar, Kailash Kher and Johnny Lever launched the album amidst much fanfare, which was released under the Times Music banner. Avadhoot Gupte, Rames Talwar, Kuldip Singh, Indrajeet Sachdev, Rajan Kapur, Jaswinder Singh, Raman Kumar, Manohar Rai, Krishna Kalle Rai also graced the event.

On this occasion, Meenal sang the title track from her album and enthralled the audience present. "This album has a good mix of Sufiana music and soft rock. The support of my parents and my guruji, Manohar Rai made this album possible," tells Meenal.

Mehram is an attempt to present Sufi music with a contemporary soul. The album has been composed and mixed aesthetically by Harpreet Singh and rendered by Meenal. This album talks about a lover who is beyond the realm of this world, a lover whom you can love but cannot posses. "It is a romantic music album that is largely based on poetry. I believe Sufism is all about romance that can be with God or with your beloved or anyone for that matter and the melodious composition of this album is an attempt to present that," says Mehram's music director, Harpreet Singh. Harpreet also believes that this music album is going to be a treat for the music listeners.
