Introducing “Jimmy Khan & The Big Ears” this New Year with their first release: ‘Nadiya”

Popular musician Jimmy Khan, who first made his debut with ‘PehlaPyar’ in 2011 and ‘AisayKaisay’ the following year, introduces a new avatar with Jimmy Khan & The Big Ears - a collaborative title and a brand new sound with ‘Nadiya’ as the first single from the album, releasing nationwide on 01^stJanuary 2014.

Jimmy Khan & The Big Ears include Jimmy Khan himself (Vocals/Guitars), Zain Ahsan (Ukulele/Producer), Sameer Ahmed (Bass) and RaavailSattar (Percussions).Nadiya has been composed, written and sung by Jimmy himself and produced by Zain Ahsan with Sameer Ahmed on bass and RaavailSattar on percussions. Nadiya is the first single from the untitled album and the song draws inspiration from 50's/60's film music, redone using folk instruments, it simply speaks of love loss. 

Speaking about the release of Nadiya, Jimmy Khan has said,

 “As I continue my journey to discover my sound, with Jimmy Khan & the Big Ears, I’d have to say I’m the closest to where I want to be. I think Nadiya is a song I had written in my head years before actually penning it down and to me it serves as an immediate reminder of classic film music; Nadiya is for all who miss the simplicity in song writing and music and this new collaborative sound would not have been possible without the incredibly seasoned and talented Big Ears including Zain Ahsan, RaavailSattar& Sameer Ahmed.”
