Ufone announces Uth Records 2.0 (Official Press Release)

Posted: 22 Feb 2012 12:30 AM PST

[Pakistan, Tuesday 21^st February 2012] In keeping with the brands’ consistent commitment to the youth of Pakistan, Ufone brings to the country another Season of their pioneering Uth Music Platform: Ufone Uth Records, version 2.0. Starting 25 February 2012, Ufone Uth Records 2.0 will air their first episode on their dedicated social media networks and across leading television channels, recapping the journey of Season One’s artists and bands: Jumbo Jutt, Yasir and Jawad with Wali, Usman Riaz, Natasha Ejaz, Ather Sani and RamLal.

Indeed Ufone Uth Records has come to be renowned as a music television show projecting new Pakistani talent, bringing artists out of the shadows and into the spotlight.

With version 2.0 of Ufone Uth Records, the team endeavours to further its impact by providing talented young musicians a bigger and better professional music platform for their original work irrespective of age, gender, language and background. Ufone Uth Records 2.0 is led by distinguished musician and producer Louis J Pinto, more popularly known as Gumby and has been directed by the acclaimed director Zeeshan Parwez.

Speaking about Ufone Uth Records Chief Marketing Officer Akbar Khan has said:

“This year, we are happy to bring back Ufone Uth Records following the heartening response to our debut season. We launch Ufone Uth Records 2.0 with an episode looking back at moments from the first season, recapping our artists' experience at our platform. This episode serves as a natural precursor to those six episodes to follow weekly, introducing a new artist a week. Furthermore, this year we have grown to introduce Uth Records LIVE with college concerts across Pakistan, an enhanced studio experience in a new studio space with a production team led by Louis J Pinto and a whole new line up of young talent and guest musicians. Ufone has always supported youth initiatives such as the live concert platform URock in 2006, the introduction of the Uth Package in 2010 and the Futsal 2010. Thus it is no surprise to our team that Ufone Uth Records itself is a concept that is based on the acknowledgment of our country having abundance of young musical talent, but due to a deficiency of opportunities, such talent usually receives little recognition or opportunity to break into the industry, thereby stifling the potential a new generation of music can bring. The underlying vision behind Ufone Uth Records remains: to find talent through tapping into the music demos of aspiring musicians as sent in to the Ufone team through online submissions, post and by recording their demo live by calling in to Ufone Uth Records at 884; then select specific artists through the review of these demos by professional industry producers led by Gumby; to work closely with selected artists to arrange, compose and record their respective original compositions as guided by the producer, in a professional recording studio with some of Pakistan’s most gifted musicians. Each selected artist’s journey is recorded professionally and aired extensively – the intention of this platform is to provide an opportunity to lesser known artists to explore their creativity while also refining and projecting their work to a wider audience."

Producer Ufone Uth Records, Louis J Pinto, aka Gumby remarked “Ufone Uth Records represents a unique way for artists to get experience in a recording studio and get a helping professional hand across multiple aspects of the business of music. For this season, I go solo with production as Omran Shafique is absent from Ufone Uth Records 2.0 – we are very fortunate to have had him to kick off our first ever season and appreciate the value he brought to the platform. Ufone Uth Records 2.0 represents an exciting avenue of growth for me as a producer and musician as it encompasses working with six diverse artists, six different genres, live shows, a new show direction and treatment and new sound!”

On the platform's return and directional change, Zeeshan Parwez Director of Ufone Uth Records 2.0 said "I am really looking forward to the airing of Ufone Uth Records 2.0, we have aesthetically experimented this season, with a departure from the more candid approach we took with Ufone Uth Records Season One to a more documentary style treatment. All artist based episodes for 2.0 have been shot entirely in cinemascope and creatively there is a lot of focus on the selected artists and their journey. Personally speaking, as a platform, Ufone Uth Records is probably, if not only, amongst the few avenues in Pakistan that is properly promoting 'Uth' involvement in music on such levels – I hope everyone enjoys the episodes as much as my team and I did while filming them!."

Ufone Uth Records 2.0 airs nationwide with its first celebratory episode recapping Season One, on February 25 2012, on all leading channels and social media networks. Following this episode, expect a new episode with a brand new artist weekly.

Radio Pakistan is available on the internet, satellite, and mobile phones which could be listened to from anywhere in the world. For those Pakistanis living abroad, following Pakistani media becomes a little difficult at times though. But there is good news for the fans of Radio Pakistan living in the United States as they can catch up on the station's broadcast.

Recently, Radio Pakistan had announced that they will be launching a new service through which Pakistani diaspora in America would be able to listen and tune into programmes of the station. It is to facilitate those who do not have internet access or smartphones to otherwise listen to Radio Pakistan outside of their home country.

All they would have to do is to dial a local number given by Radio Pakistan. According to the press statement released by Radio Pakistan, interested listeners would have to dial 8322800683 and they can listen to FM-93, FM-94, FM-101, National Broadcasting Service (NBS) and current affairs channels. The same number applies for both landline phones and mobile phones. There are normal charging rates for tuning in, but if listeners would have an unlimited mobile phone package, then it would not be charged to them.

Now the third Indian glamour girl to display Firdous Lawn's fashion creativity is Sonam Kapoor, who is known for her style sense.

She is the new brand ambassador for Firdous Lawn.

Let us see who next will make it into the list of being the brand ambassador. If successful yet another time, Firdous Lawn initiated trend could catch on, which is a positive news for Pakistani fashion industry which is recognized for its designs and creativity around the world.

Meera Dramatises in Self-Created Quagmire

Posted: 21 Feb 2012 06:18 AM PST

It seems like Meera has brought a whole deal of news-making trouble for her before stepping into her marriage. It has been reported that Captain Naveed Shahzad, Meera's prospective husband, is already married and has a 2-year-old daughter as well. He got married to his first wife Sheeba in 2005 while in America. But when Meera entered his life, he abandoned her to settle down with the new found love in his life by divorcing Sheeba. But that is not the only twist in Meera's love fantasy.

There is an antagonist who played a central role in keeping Meera controversial in 2008, when he claimed he is married to her. There are no points for guessing this antagonist as the world knows his reference clearly. He is Attiqur Rehman, who does not want the marriage to take place. Since the court's decision is still pending, she cannot carry on with her current marriage plans.

For Meera, her marriage to Attiqur Rehman never took place and the documents he submitted as evidence were all fake. Hence, to deal with him she filed a lawsuit for blackmailing her. However, there is no stopping for Meera to not continue with her wedding preparations. She and Naveed met three years ago at his sister's wedding in New York and since then both have fallen for each other. Naveed has also been reported to refer to her by her real name Rubab rather than the filmy name Meera. Yet as is the habit of Meera to always claim things otherwise, she said to the media that her marriage has been completely arranged by her family and that she is only complying willingly with their wishes.

In further twist of events, the expensive wrist-watch worth Rs.2 million which she was to gift Naveed had been stolen from house on Tuesday. She filed an application of theft that has been registered by the police, but the police officials say that it is all again antics played by Meera and there is nothing serious in this story. Meera is truly a 'Real-life Drama Queen' as she dramatises in self-created quagmire.
