Jimmy Khan releases ‘Pyar Naal’ with a music video

In between making a cameo appearance in the upcoming Asim Raza film, Parey Hut Love and playing a Salt Arts show in Karachi recently, Jimmy Khan has released his rendition of ‘Pyar Naal’ – making it the third release from his folk EP Tich Button.Writing about the song on his Facebook page, Jimmy noted, “It is one of our most well received and popular folk renditions titled ‘Pyar Naal Na Sahi’. An original folk tune by one of my heroes and one of the greatest lovers of all time, Attaullah Esakhelvi, lovingly known as Lala.”Performed by The Jimmy Khan Band, the song is accompanied with a music video and even as it features the whole band, the video carries a completely different flavour. The monochrome video features a rendition from Khan, joined by the band, from his heart and it’s very beautiful. The playfulness of the other songs featured on the EP such as ‘Nikka Mota Bajra’ and ‘Tich Button Di Jori’ have been left behind and it fits the feel of the song. Writing about the importance of this reverent folk song, Khan further noted on his Facebook page: “This song celebrates love and devotion to a degree that seems more fictitious than anything in the world today,” wrote Khan. “The words are dreamy and evoke a sense of obsessive passion one can have for their loved one. One can’t say it doesn’t exist but it’s definitely hard to find. The conviction in Lala’s voice when I first heard this song resonated with me so strongly I sing it at every opportunity I get and is now a recognized number in the band’s set. Humbled and honored to have Lala’s blessings for this rendition and very happy to finally put this live version out. Hope you all enjoy this.”Jimmy Khan and his band have certainly hit the mark. Both the video, directed by Ahsan Ali, and the song, produced by Zain Ahsan, is a worthy treasure in a sea of covers.
