Swami Baracus is a rising Urban Desi artist who has been featured on countless tracks. Now on his solo grind, Swami is about to release the video for his single "Break This Game."

The video teaser keeps the music a mystery, while the video is shot with impressive quality - and it looks like Swami may be bringing something new to the scene!

As the teaser kicks off, we see Swami up against a graffiti wall hanging out with a band. The scene quickly changes and we see DJ Nihal encouraging Swami to "Break This Game."

Check out the video teaser for Swami Baracus's single "Break This Game" and let us know if Swami Baracus has a hit video on his hands.

Swami Baracus on set for 'Break This Game'

Only after the release of a video packed with astounding effects and a brand new album named Andher, a solo artist named Faraz Haider has been stealing some of the spotlight.

Faraz Haider began to take interest in music from as early as 13, heavily influenced from artists like Michael Jackson. The older Faraz now takes inspiration from the likes of David Coverdale (of Deep Purple fame), the lead singer of Soundgarden Chris Cornell, and Guns N’ Roses.

Some people say he is the “Chris Cornell of Pakistan”. A few months before the release of the album, a spectacular video teaser was released from Pakistan’s leading music blogs and websites. After an 18-second tease, people began to anticipate the release of the video. The video is packed with energy and a powerful mood, especially as the band seem to battle the forces of Hell surrounding them. Luckily, the album begins with the very song “Andher”, the heaviest song in the album. The power of the song however, is better with the video.

The tracks “Duniya Ghoom Ke” and “Rukh Jao” are mellow numbers filled with soulful lyrics and acoustic guitars for the ones who easily get headaches from hard guitar riffs.

“Nasha” and “Tum Na Rahay” are the groovy tracks in the album, containing funky guitar riffs and powerful vocals. The bridges get heavier and the solos are addictive. These are the songs where the influence of Guns N’ Roses Axl comes to life.

The tracks “Jeena Bhi To Hai” and “Benaam” sound out-of-this-world… seriously. The tracks are mixed with eerie futuristic sounds, but prove that Faraz Haider can step outside the boundaries and deliver something new and modern to the Pakistani audience of today.

Naveen Waqar, a popular Pakistani model and VJ (on AAG TV) happens to be Faraz Haider’ sister. She also happens to be singing in the song “Intezaar”. Their voices both go hand in hand like that special bond between a brother and sister.

It’s seems like two of the best songs in the album, “Kya Tu Insaan Naheen” and “Shukria”, are put near the end for a reason. Although mellow during the verses, the songs strike a powerful blow as the choruses kick in.

“Tum Hee Jaano” starts off rather mellow but gives listeners a jolt of surprise as heavy riffs strum at the choruses. The solo is brilliant and like the album predecessors, it’s no surprise. Why? Because the combination of music in this one disc are addictive and never seem to get old. Each song seems to have a sound of it’s own.

The album sadly closes to a halt with the last track named “Tum Na Rahay (Orchestral)”, which is the previous titled track but played with orchestral music. A closing track can’t get any soulful and beautiful than this.

Pakistani artists and bands have something to compete against (especially after the video of “Andher”), because we haven’t heard the last of Faraz. The album delivers a diverse style in music, with hints of rock and alternative-pop, classical and modern sounds, for all ears alike. Let this be the beginning of Faraz Haider, and let’s hope we hear from another release… while we finish listening to this addicting album that is.

Junaid says, “Well, it was totally arranged. My mom found her for me, and I’m feeling great about it. A good partner is a blessing actually. And she is a gem of a person. She is a dentist by profession!”.

Popular Bollywood singer Shaan opened the show for designer Troy Costa at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week here and sang a love ballad "Where do I begin" from the film "Love Story" for his wife, Radhika.

The couple, who were also the show stoppers for Costa's collection, will celebrate a decade of tying the nuptial knot, Tuesday. While Shaan flaunted a black tailored suit with checks in self-print, Radhika was sporting an off-shoulder gold colour gown.
"My collection is about love and I wanted to celebrate it. Today in the world of divorces and second marriages, when you see love that is strong, then it needs to be celebrated.

"I got to know from Radhika that they are celebrating 10 years of their married life. Tomorrow happens to be their 10th year wedding anniversary. They have been in love four years before that that means 14 years of being in love," Costa told IANS.

"So I felt that this needed to be celebrated at a grand level like this. So the entire collection surrounded them, the clothes were very feminine, beautiful, the music was romantic," he added.

When asked Shaan whether he was nervous while walking the ramp, the singer said: "I was not nervous but yes, very excited. Radhika did really well. I've been performing in front of people so it was okay."
As far as the collection is concerned, it included evening gowns, cocktail dresses, tailored suits and fitted knee hitting dresses.

The fabrics used were chiffon, silk and satin with embellishments and modern embroidery. Even the colour palette was meant for evening wear with colours like magenta, wine, golden beige and rust.

"My collection is categorised under the concept of accessible luxury, combining the skill of draping with the expertise of tailoring," said the designer.
