sage, are u pakistani?? how come u know about Jal?? n i m living and breathing the jal story, cuz i am a Pakistani, and its a VERY hot story over here. n i wanna repeat this story on thsi forum.
Jal teh band launched its first ever saong "Aadat" ("Habit") on internet. it gained a hell lot of popularity, ppl went crazy for the music. the band comprised of two guyz, Atif Aslam(vocals) and Gohar Mumtaz(guitars). they launched a pretty decent viodeo of Aadat, which also gained populairity. then suddenly the band broke up soon after their first video. atif and gohar both blamed each other for a while. tehy both raced to launch their respective albums. atif won n launched his album by the name of "Jalpari" ("Mermaid"). amazing album.
in the meanwhile, gohar refomed "Jal" adding a vocalist (farhan) and a bassist (Shazi). they launched tehir album by teh name of "Aadat". Atif filed a lawsuit againt the band n siad that they cant use the name "Jal".
after the launch of teh album "Aadat", pakistani music fans divided into "Atif-fans" and "Gohar-fans" , n they both keep debating on who's better. i m personally an atif-fan. yes' jal's music is good, but i liek atif more than jal. his voice is so goood!!! if u want to listen to jal's music, i wud recommend u guyz to try Atif as well. n everybody agrees that the biggest reason for Aadat (song) success was atif's magical voice.
here are some links for downloads:
