anth Kaler hails from Nakodar in Jalandhar district and has come a long way to establish himself as the peoples' singer. The singer recently launched his latest album Armaan in Chandigarh.
"I feel that the husky element in my voice and my tone is indeed a boon in disguise. This is an asset in a sense that has made me what I am today. And, if I ever think of changing it, I stand to lose my identity," said the singer during the launch of the album.
Kaler's new album Armaan is a rich collection of myriad melodies. The album has been meticulously created and crafted. With a soulful music score, the album is an amalgamation of romantic, sad, emotional tunes, besides liturgical compositions.
The album has been produced by Pinky Dhaliwal who is all praises for the singer. He says, "There is no denying the fact that the benchmarks in music are taking a backseat in the present milieu where many dominant factors have come into play. But, who is to be blamed for the denigration?. There are several other singers who made significant contributions to the field but slipped into oblivion unsung."
All the songs are close to Kaler's heart, but when asked about choosing the best among the compositions from the album, he promptly adds, "The track Maape, penned by Angrej Chandi, is the one which is close to me. It is the terse and telling tribute to one's parents with an underlying message. It is in the form a yearning to be closer to one's parents forever."
Kaler, while elaborating about the musicians and music of the album, told Guardian20 that one of the finest musicians based in Mumbai had scored music for the album. He adds, "It was like a pilgrimage for me to work with the musicians who had had the privilege of working with the legends, like Lataji, Rafiji, Kishore da and other contemporary singers."
The album has in all 9 tracks, including Chhalla, Ik mera dil, Armaan, Akhiyan, Dil, Maape, Ishq Garibi, Truck and Teri Daya Mehar.
