Pakistani Artist Pays Tribute To Robin Gibb - Dedicates New Album

Online, September 8, 2012 (Newswire.com) - One such story out of all places is emerging out of Pakistan. Australian based Pakistani world music artist Mahmood Khan went to the writing canvas after Robin Gibb's passing this year in May.

'I could not deal with it. Just unbelieveable that he was really gone. Once the initial shock was over the only thing I could do was to write and I guess the overwhelming emotion made me complete the whole album in a month. I started off writing lyrics in English, but before I knew I was writing in Urdu, my mother tongue. Then I remembered talking to Robin when I had met him in Los Angeles in 1994. We discussed song writing and he believed that music has no language and that music is a feeling. During the production of this album I felt him all around me and the inspiration was divine', comments Khan.

Mahmood's musical career was influenced by the voicing, writing and production of the Brother's Gibb.

'Consistency inspires me and they had a mountain of it. Their records were the clearest sounding. No one sounded better. Robin's voice has embossed a never fading stamp on the recording history. The timelessness of the work is awe inspiring. His musical legacy will grow on and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Among the many things I found to be common between us one that's of particular importance is the love for American Black music, Artists like the Delfonics, Stevie Wonder and Otis Redding', says Khan.

Mahmood Khan is a Pakistani born Australian singer song writer known for his work with the Legendary Nusrat fateh Ali Khan and being the only Asian Artist to have scored a number one song on the Australian Pop charts with his song 'Like the River'' which was recorded Live at the Sydney Opera House.

The album Hum Do ( Two of us ) was uploaded exclusively on Dailymotion today.
