The celebrated actor and Lahore-based music band Call’s lead vocalist Junaid Khan collaborated with the Indian rock band Spunk to create an anthem of unity, Talaash.
Being a peace lover, Junaid Khan’s upcoming single “Talaash” aims to send a message of positivity to the people of the subcontinent. The song’s vocals have been rendered by Khan and Spunk’s lead vocalist, however Khan has also co-written Talaash’s lyrics. With this track, the musician seeks to heal the wounds and bring India and Pakistan closer together in harmony.
The literal meaning of Urdu word “Talaash” is “Search” and in reference to the title, Khan approaches to touch both personal level – the search for yourself, your own identity, your own place in this world and national level – the search for a common ground, the unifying purpose.
Junaid Khan stated, “Music knows no boundaries and this collaboration with Spunk is a way to improve understanding and communication between the two countries. I have always believed in living peacefully in a borderless world and Talaash is going to spread the message of harmony amongst the people of both cultures.” Khan further added, “It is also a fun song and its genre is metal-rock.”
Junaid Khan always tries to convey social message through his songs, hence Talash brings the hashtag movement #TalaashForPeace. The singer hopes that the song will break the barriers and bring unity and peace across borders.
