Najam Shiraz composes Olympic English theme song 'Only Love'
As Najam Sheraz’s eighth album is on the verge of an international release, the veteran pop artiste belts out yet another achievement in the form of an alliance with The World Olympic Association for the torch relaying ceremony being held in Islamabad. He performs in the grand finale, his first English single, Only Love.
"It is my first English single, co-written and co-produced by Chris Eaten. Chris is a renowned songwriter from West Midlands, United Kingdom and has written for renowned artistes such as Cliff Richards, Amy Grant, Jessica Simpson and Janet Jackson. I felt it was a good platform through which to present the song,” says Najam excitedly. “The melody of the track is beautiful. The listener will love the gospel (?) choruses by very talented Afro Brit singers with my style of singing,” he says.
How did he come with the idea? “Peace and harmony is my subject. It was my dream to convey this feeling in English, which is a global language. And it just happened in a matter of couple of hours when I sat down with Chris at his studio,” he responded. When asked if the song is being released worldwide or in Pakistan only, he informed, “It has been done for a worldwide release and will be when the right time comes. At the moment we are developing the concept for its video and looking for international partners.”
