Tajdar's music is real and stands high on its own feet. Without make-up and with like every beat of your heart, his music effortlessly connects with you. One of my favourite track is ‘Yadon Ki Pari’ penned by Tajdar's father, Junaid Ahmad. The combination of Urdu poetry with a distorted guitar fuzz tone induceses a sound that transcends traditional songwriting and music composition pushing the boundaries of simplicity and poetry.
