They’re back, and back after seven years. Pakistan pop group Mizmaar, which was quite popular when the pop scene in the country was in full swing, has come out with a brand new single titled Jee Loonga. The merits of the track will be discussed later, but what needs to be taken note of here is that the band has a fresh lineup.

While the guitarist Kashan Admani and drummer Alfred D’Mello are the oldies who are still there, the vocalist Mashhad Sharyar is a new entrant. So all eyes, and ears, are on him. Let’s see how he croons his way into music buffs’ hearts … or not.
