Haroon Ka Nasha is the third album by the Pakistani pop singer Haroon, released in March, 2007. The album first single is called "Jiya Jaye" and "Jua Kehla".


Haroon has just released his 3rd solo album and is top selling album right now no. 1 on most charts. Haroon composed, recorded, produced, engineered and mixed all the songs at his personal studio “Haroon’s Turbo Charged Funky lil’ Studio” This album shows a maturing of Haroon as a songwriter, musician, singer, lyricist and producer. Lyrically and musically this album has depth and the production is polished and creative.

The album touches on a variety of interesting themes apart from the usual love songs. The song Big Corporation Man is a satire on greedy large companies that only care about profit without regard to the effects on the environment or their customers.


“I’m a big corporation man, with big corporation plans, Living for profit and I don’t give a damn”

The song Jiya Jaye has a strong message extolling brotherhood and peace no matter what your religion or background. Musically Jiya Jaye, is a modern electro-acoustic feel good pop song with a tinge of gentle qawali.

The song Hum Hain is a positive uplifting aggressive rock song with a huge stadium chorus. “I recorded over 100 tracks of vocals on this song to get that big sound in the chorus.” Says Haroon. The song Oh Saqi is deep and dark full of angst and despair.

The album kicks off with a lighter song, an up tempo funky number called Jua Khela, driven by a funky guitar riff played by Assad Ahmed with clever tongue in cheek lyrics and an infectious melody. The song suggets that love is a gamble and you never know whether you are going to win in the game of love or end up with a broken heart. The next track is the heart wrenching Nahi Hah Yeh Pyaar. The song has a very non traditional chord progression and the melody pulls on the heart strings.

Yeh Raat, is a straight forward rock song with lush harmonies and one of the highlights of the album. The blistering acoustic and electric guitars are played by Haroon and dominate the whole track. “Ibtida-e-Ishq”, is a heart catching ballad which borrows lyrics from the famous Ghalib poem. On the song “She is No Good 4 U” Haroon duets with a famous UK based singer Yvonne. Its an upbeat number with a blend of Urdu and English lyrics.

The album has a total of 12 tracks. This album was launched by The Musik Records at the end of March 2007, and is available on CD and Cassettes throughout Pakistan. Fr more information log on to www.haroon.com
