But Sar Kiye Yeh Pahar from the 90s will always continue to haunt us


If you belong to the MTV generation, there is little possibility that you didn't hear the smash hit Sar Kiye Yeh Pahar, by Pakistani band Strings, and played it over and over again. We did. It made us feel that heady feeling of being in love like only a young person can. That was 1992, and if that made you feel old, wait for it. Strings completes 30 years this year. The band is releasing an album called 30 to mark the milestone. The first song in it, Sajni, which we heard with great expectations, left us feeling cold. Bilal Maqsood (vocals and guitars) and Faisal Kapadia (vocals) who dance around animatedly in the flashy video, may be trying to recreate the Strings sound with heavy guitars and that rock-meets-Sufi feel, but, it sounds like a faint echo of their previous numbers.
