Saroj Mishra’s Album Launched
Classical art-forms like Ghazal andQawwali have lost their essence amongst the ever evolving music scene. However, we still have many artists who are keeping such forms of art alive and are maintaining their legacy.
The audience for such art-forms seems to be shrinking every day because of the Bollywood-music taking over the world of music, but it is still living its own life and creating its own niche in the market. Amongst the various well-known Ghazal artists is Saroj Mishra, who has dedicated her life to music. For her music is a medium to breath and live life.

On a soothing day of October, Saroj Mishra launched her latest album, “PhirDil Ne Ye Kaha”, at The Radisson Blu Hotel, Sector-18, Noida. The album is a collection of six romantic ghazals and each track has something unique to it. On the occasion, Saroj said, “I am thankful to each and every person who has taken out time from their busy schedule for this launch. Talking about the album, we have really worked hard for it and many of the songs are blissfully romantic.”
Further briefing the media, Saroj said “I have seen both the sides of this music industry. I have played back for a movie which was produced and directed by Sawan Kumar and have been singing ghazals for ages now. However, I feel that music is something which is appreciated everywhere. Good songs with good music and lyrics are hard to be found these days and choosing any one genre of music is not easy.”

Continuing further, Saroj said, “I have never tried any other genre of music because of my own lifestyle and later when I came back to the field, I immersed myself completely in ghazals.”
It is said that lyrics cannot be written keeping in mind if people would like it or not, they are just poems or couplets that paints a picture when you read or listen to it and that is what the lyrics of this album would do to the readers’ mind. Manoj Tiwari, who has sung in the album along with Saroj Mishra, said “These days the music has lost its charm and the lasting effect it used to have on people. The lyrics, the music and in fact everything is going to the gutter. It has become an industry where no one talks or even thinks about ragas, so in such scenario we have tried to revive the ragas through our songs. Each of our songs is based on ragas and we have also used some musical instruments like the tabla, to give a new vibe to ghazals.”
