Hadiqa

that picks up from where she left off. Instep lends an ear…
|
Where did you go?
|
Hadiqa Kiani has been away for six years. It is a big break for a mainstream artist like Hadiqa.
|
Whether
she pummels through her chant-along exhilarating renditions or
unpretentiously renders a powerfully emotional statement for the print
media, her lush vocal versatility and captivating persona takes
prisoners at the first glance.
|
Hadiqa
Kiani the quintessential pop diva walks tall with accessibility and
innovativeness; two nearly extinct traits in the pop-culture today.
|
With
undiminished energy she has high aims, huge achievements and above
all poise to do something new every time she makes an album. Hadiqa's
own joyful blare has undoubtedly fueled numerous high octane singers
of her gender to follow in her footsteps thereby catapulting the
artisan to an almost role model status. Hadiqa has music with a spark
and her multidirectional un-cliched tunes run an entire gamut of
thought provoking ideas and issues.
|
Behind
her taffeta soft exterior lurks a generous heart that's full of
divine love and humanity. More than just a singing sensation she is
|
like a complete book for the women of today who have dreams and aspirations for their tomorrow
