Another newcomer with the kashmakash voice

Listening to 'Kuch iss tarah' by Atif Aslam from his album Doorie for the third time at 3:30 am on the weekend. There must be some merit there. Actually planning to listen to it 2 more times before i hit bed.
Mushy but melodious and kinda romantic with the casualness of a conversation and the mood of a gazal. I like the guy, though he is a kid. Saw an Interview on MTV and was kinda dissappointed by his shy and sleepy monotone. But he sings well.
The characterisation was set by Palash Sen, the Euphoria guy. Good looking, fun, most importantly highly educated... an IIT engg. The 'Mahee Veh' style, Long kurta and a rocking band. And much young talent since then has taken centre stage to sing the same laid back, punjabi-hindi-delhi style rock.
