Saq - Stop Look Listen, Nov 2006
Stop Look Listen
STOP,
LOOK, LISTEN Is the debut album from Saq, a producer from the
outskirts of Glasgow and the latest talent from the VIP Records
camp.
VIP first introduced Bhangra fans to Saq on its Pure Desi Volume 1 compilation with Tarrak Tarhi, which was one the most played and requested tunes of 2005.
His love and passion for music has been fuelled by Hip-Hop and RnB greats such Michael Jackson, The Neptunes, Ice Cube whilst Bhangra influences include Gurdas Mann, Kuldip Manak & Tigerstyle.
Stop Look Listen features 12 amazing tracks showcasing some of the finest vocalists from around the world including Lembhar Hussainpuri, Surinder Shinda, Manak-E & NYC’s very own Bikram Singh.
The
album brings together a variety of flavors which caters for all
generations. Tarrak Tarhi and Jindh for the desi heads, Pindh Mera
and Mela with their deep
lyrics for the elder listener, Hai Nahalo and Mittra Da Challan for
the dance floor. Bikram Singh and Blitzkrieg maintain the
transatlantic relations with some straight up Hip-Hop for all the
head boppers. You’ll not find many Bhangra albums with House and
Reggaeton beats on them.
Demand is high for this young talent and there’s no rest for Saq as he’s already working on various other projects including the long awaited Blitzkrieg album, K.S Bhamrah, Pure Desi Volume 2 and also producing the Ramesh Chohan album.
Samples from Stop Look Listen can be heard on www.viprecords.co.uk. Bhangra forums are already buzzing in anticipation for the release. If you want to know the next big thing you won’t go wrong with Saq.
