i just finished listening to arooj singing a cover of amir zaki's 'mera pyar' with mizraable and i have to say, she has such a sexy voice (put your gandasa away tony)! arooj is, Mashallah, so very talented, she just blows you away! she's won a scholarship to the berklee college of music (which is a terribly prestigious online programme aimed at picking the best and helping them on their way to stardom ;)), she's on the radio all the time, plus she's entirely self-taught and a girl singing on our very male-dominated music scene. i can very smugly say that i heard 'walking away' much, much, much before anyone else (read: mainstream) did; shes been a friend of beeni's for years and i heard it on her PC because arooj was an acquaintance in any case. baharal. go listen, 'mera pyar' is up on www.pakmediarevolution.com and is well worth a hit. now i'm gonna go listen to it again :D

fact of the day: arooj is the little sister of gauher, a.k.a tony of gandasa fame. so small world, no? i claim right to feel proud of arooj as member of the older-sibling confederacy :)
