Singer Shahzad Ali, who is reeling from the success of his Rajasthani folk song ‘Narhar Sacho Peer’, says that the song ‘Masroof’ wouldn’t have been possible for him without lyricist Kumaar’s support.
He reveals, “I got this song because of Kumaar sir. He called me and I want you to sing this song as it will suit your voice perfectly. I didn’t even have to audition for it. This song wouldn’t have been without his support. I am thankful to him.”
Talking about the song, he adds, “The strength of this rock song is its purity and simplicity. It’s a sweet romantic song about a lover trying to win the love of his life. It has been written beautifully by Kumaar ji. I had a great time working on it.”
Written by Kumaar and composed by Aslam Keyi, the music video features Syed Raza Ahmed, Rumman Ahmed, and Aasif Khan.
