Fans are teased by Fawad Khan's new music, 'Taara/Diamonds'.
Web Desk: On Saturday, a Seattle-based media outlet and production house launched an electronic pop music album called “Taara/Diamonds,” which features major Pakistani showbiz celebrity Fawad Khan and other media industry influencers.
MTG, a Seattle-based firm, also combined the melodic voices of Bilal Ali, lead vocalist of the Pakistani band “Kashmir,” and Maria Unera, a Pakistani-Filipino singer and composer.
MTG creator Maheen Mustafa confirmed the song and video’s release earlier this month, stating that they would be available on all streaming platforms.
“The incredible icons featured in the new MTG music video are formidable talents,” Khan, the Pakistani entertainment industry icon, said in an MTG press release before the song debuted.
“Their achievements inspire and uplift people around the world, including myself.”
Unera stated that she was excited to share the video with the public on all platforms once it was launched.
“The initiative really stood out for me and made me more keen to work with everyone involved in this project,” she told me. “I can’t wait for everyone to check out what we worked on.”
Ali said it was “brilliant” to collaborate on a song with other celebrities.
“We hope we did them justice and that people appreciate our humble attempt,” he told me.
The song is a hybrid remix of Ali Azmat’s popular song “Taara Jala” and global pop sensation Rihanna’s 2012 single.
“Diamonds” is a catchy tune and pays respect to a number of live and deceased musicians, singers, painters, and other people who worked to effect positive change.
Aside from the famous Pakistani faces that appear on the screen as the music plays, it highlights the achievements of Nora Al-Matrooshi, the first Arab woman from the United Arab Emirates to graduate from the NASA astronaut program, and the makers of “Joyland,” which won a prestigious award at the Cannes Film Festival.
