I have spoken to
Raja today, and he stated that his shows went very well in Jeddah, he
sounded very hoarse though, and he said that this was due to the
continual shows that he has been doing back to back. Bless him!!!
I was also unaware
that our sweetheart, has just come out of hospital, (I don't want to
disclose the health problems that he suffered, as I am not sure that he
would want those to be broadcast) but, he said that he is fine now.
However, please pray for him to stay in good health!!!

THURSDAY 20TH MAY 2010
RAJA HASAN LAUNCHES A BRAND NEW
ALBUM IN COLLABORATION WITH HIS FATHER
KHWAJA PIYA - WHAT DO YOU THINK?
These clips/images
are courtesy of
Raja's Official Blog -
www.kinghasan.com
- Thank you!!!
Heavy tears of
sadness welled in my
eyes, when I heard the promo clip of Raja's latest offering, 'Khwaja
Piya' a superb
album dedicated to Khwaja Saheb, (to read about Khwaja's
Historical/Religious significance/prominence, please click
'here')
I sincerely hope
this is the correct information, but, if anyone knows otherwise, please
advise. (I am not a Religious person at all, but, I respect and
love all Religions, so, I would not have a clue, but, please feel free
to enlighten me, if I am incorrect.)
Track 4 on this
promo clip absolutely killed me, the one that starts off with; 'Main
bhee tere, dhar par aaya'...My God, It tugged at my heart strings and
just made me well up, in fact, each time I hear it, I cry...I think
somewhere Raja is subconsciously touching an element of my own personal
pain, which I keep private from the outside world. That is what
Raja's strong connection to God, does to people. I think many
times Raja underestimates this special gift from God. He really
doesn't see himself as an amazing figure that moves and inspires, he is
actually in real life, a very young and childlike human being, sometimes
he can be cheeky, sometimes he can be arrogant, which totally amuses me,
but, at the same time, he baffles me. But, one thing is for sure,
he needs to take things a little more seriously and realise that he is
actually public property now, which makes him accountable for everything
that he says and does to everyone. I think slowly he is realising
that, and if he is ever does anything wrong, I don't mind telling him
the truth. I think when you are in a position where everyone just
tells you that you are great just because you are famous, is a bad place
to be, you need true friends to tell you the truth and I tell him
whatever is on my mind, regardless of the consequences, but, that is
what my friends love about me the most, I am honest and straight with
them and somewhere in the back of my mind, I think that is also what
Raja respects about me too. God Bless him!!! He told me that
I inspire him greatly beyond words, which made me laugh? I thought
I INSPIRE Raja Hasan, that is hilarious!!!
Anyway, one thing
which really surprised me a lot about Raja when I met him last year, was
that although he goofed about a lot, there was one thing in his life
that was totally sacred for him and that was his love for Allah.
His devotion to God totally threw me off guard, he sat down on the floor
in front of me and my mum, less than a foot away, whilst we were cosily
sat on his sofa and started chatting in depth, about Religion and
various other personal life experiences, with us. I wasn't totally
convinced that I was actually sitting at Raja's house with him and his
family, Raja was amazed, because he expected, that us (being from the
West) wouldn't know about Religion too much and he was blown away, that
my mother knew ten times more than he did about Religion and past
Historical figures of greatness etc. It was mighty funny for me to
watch, as I was just enthralled thinking; 'My God, almost two years ago,
I was an ardent admirer, watching you on TV and now I am sitting in your house,
merrily chatting away to you about Life, God and Music...Wowww.'
It was a mad experience, but, I knew from then on, that if Raja ever
released any album, that was to be God inspired, that it would be of
EPIC proportions.
It is a pairing of
father and son again, but, Raja clarified for me yesterday that, it is
mainly a local home released project for his father, as oppose to a solo
Raja project. Obviously we all hope it does well, but,
unfortunately it has been released on a very small scale in regards to
the Record Company/Banner name that he had chosen for his last stint
(with the massive International distributor, Universal Records.) I
have tried to ask a large Music distributor here in London if they will
be selling/promoting this CD and they stated that as of yet, they are
unsure as it is on a very small production name/scale but, they will get
back in touch to see if they can get hold of a copy for me.
...I will keep you
all posted...
Until then, please
pray that it is a runaway success!!!

NOTHING NEW TO SAY IN REGARDS
TO NEWS, BUT, JUST A HEARTFELT 'THANK YOU'
LET'S HOPE, WISH AND WAIT
With God's good
grace, Raja has been extremely busy with a hectic schedule recently, I
am not sure if his IPL Rockstar win has contributed to this sudden wave
of interest, but, I am sure that it has :0)
Raja has advised
that he has no news as yet, but, he has specifically asked me to thank
all of his fans and well-wishers (who prayed for him to get better.)
He said that he is in great health now...
I was also curious
to know if he had received his stunning new car which he had bagged as
part of his IPL win and he stated unfortunately not, they delay these
kinds of processes by months, what a pain...But, I stated not to worry,
and that 'good things come to those who wait'...To which he laughed and
agreed...
...I am sure this
is one of many accolades that he will achieve in the years to come...
God Bless him!!!

here is some great news.
Raja has
recently recorded a song 'Samiya
Nachavela Chachadate Bhai'
a Bhojpuri movie called;
'Chorvaa Banal Daamad'
Click
'here'
to hear a sneak peak courtesy of T-Series
I think the release
date was around February 2010.
I love Raja's vocal
variations in this song.
They sound simply
stunning. (Especially towards the end.)
If I can get hold
of the full song, I will post it for you, but, for now enjoyyyy!!!

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR MUSIC
COLLECTION
USHER RAYMOND - RAYMOND VS
RAYMOND
Hiya All,
I have decided that
on days that there is no Raja news to report that I will share my
thoughts/views on other Artists/music that you should be
buying/listening to. For those of you who are unaware, I LOVE
Western Music, artists such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Mariah
Carey and Janet Jackson have shaped up my life. The Eastern
Artists that I admire are mainly artists who are multi talented and
world class and my love for Raja is no different, he is an Artist that I
see on a world potential scale if he could expand his style and
variations to match Western standards in terms of performance/class etc.
I do think that he has a lot to prove in order to achieve this, but,
only HE can put the effort into it to make it happen.
Anyway, recently an
artist that I have admired for over TEN years Mr Usher Raymond
has released a phenomenal album called; 'Raymond VS Raymond' which has
hit the International shores in a big way. It is a great
combination of Pop and R & B and puts his life under scrutiny once again
as he delves into issues past and present...It is once again a WORLD
smash and he proves why he deserves to be one of the biggest selling
solo Artists of this decade, so, please be sure to add this album to
your music collection and make him even bigger!!!
I have been very
fortunate to be able to see many of my favourite artists LIVE in
concert, including Usher whom I have seen twice in the last ten years
when he rocked the UK with his amazing LIVE performances, he is the
second best artist that I have seen in concert (after Michael Jackson
who was simply the best and cannot be matched in any way or level.)
I have been lucky enough to see Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Usher
Raymond, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys to name a few and the one
thing that I have closely observed is that in the West, Entertainers
take their stage performances a lot more seriously and demand a more
professional level of work, than those I have seen in the East.
The only top class Eastern shows I have seen are the Bollywood type
shows which they take on International tour anyway, but, it seems that
the quality is not of the great potential that it can be. They
settle for half hearted attempts sometimes and it is unfortunate because
they can be the greatest if they really wanted to be...I hope that this
huge gap gets smaller someday, and the phenomenal Eastern talent, shows
what they are really all about!!!

RAJA HASAN
THANKS HIS FANS
A TRUE AND WELL DESERVED IPL
ROCKSTAR
Hey All,
Please enjoy these
sweet, heartfelt words from your hero Mr Raja Hasan Sagar!!!
As you can hear, he
is back in his usual spirits again, but, I still think that he needs
some rest to help his vocal chords recover and for his mind/body to
relax. Unfortunately, as you know, life and it's responsibilities
doesn't always permit this, so, please instead pray that he stays in
good health and that gets the success that he deserves in life.
