| Nadeem sings in Yeh Dil |
|
It is a known fact that most of the composers also love to sing. Anu Malik has crooned his own compositions, and so has A.R. Rahman, Anand Raaj Anand, M.M. Kreem and a few others. Nadeem of composer duo Nadeem-Shravan is no exception. He too is fond of singing, and had earlier even cut an album Hi Ajnabi, in which he had sung all the songs.
Now Nadeem has done the playback in the Tusshar Kapoor-Natasha-starrer Yeh Dil. And he has sung the title song in his different voice, which is sure to click with the listeners. The composition is melodious and very romantic. If the song is a hit, it will surely encourage Nadeem to sing more songs.
