Islamabad: Popular Pakistani music band Strings embarks on a tour to India tomorrow to promote their new album "Koi Aane Wala Hai", their first in four years.
"We are very excited about the tour as we have an album with a fresh sound," said Faisal Kapadia, the vocalist for Strings, which will kick off the tour with a concert in Lucknow.
"Koi Aane Wala Hai" will be released in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Dubai on May 16, the first time an album by Strings has been issued in different markets across the world simultaneously.
The decision to simultaneously release the album in different markets is aimed at countering piracy. "We want our fans to have ready access to the album. Fans who can t access it will download it from the internet," he said.
"Besides, we want to tap new markets like Bangladesh and Nepal, where the rock scene is booming," Kapadia said. "There are a lot of people in these countries who are into our type of music." Kapadia and his band-mate Bilal Maqsood have already completed two videos for the album - one for the title track that features Bollywood actor John Abraham and another for the song "Jaago".
"We will also be making a third video for the album," Kapadia said. "The video for Koi Aane Wala Hai , directed by Ravi Udyavar, is very interesting. And of course, it features John Abraham," Kapadia, who was here with Maqsood to participate in the Olympic torch relay, told reporters.
