Javed Ali and Ayaz Ismail craft their ‘Kismat‘

Javed Ali and Ayaz Ismail craft their ‘Kismat‘

The Hindu
Thursday, January 16, 2025 12:26 PM GMT

Javed Ali, a versatile powerhouse in Hindi, Telugu, and South Indian cinema, collaborates with Ayaz Ismail for the single 'Kismat'.

Javed Ali has established himself as a versatile powerhouse across Hindi, Telugu, and South Indian cinema. From the chart-topping Telugu song ‘Nee Kannulu Neeli Samudram’ in Uppena to the popular ‘Srivalli’ (Pushpa - The Rise Hindi)and recent hits like ‘Pheelings‘ (Pushpa - The Rule Hindi) and Thandel’s ‘Bujji Thalli’ (Telugu), his voice continues to dominate the music landscape.

In his latest achievement, Javed collaborates with music producer Ayaz Ismail to release ‘Kismat’, a single that blends western influences with Bollywood flair. Ayaz Ismail, a Dallas-based Indian-American composer and singer, is renowned for fusing Indian classical music with modern genres. During Javed’s USA tour in 2022, the duo came together for an overnight collaboration, and ‘Kismat’ was created and recorded at Ayaz’s studio, iThinkSound, in Dallas.

Apart from Javed and Ayaz at the helm, Kismat has a stellar team of Kunaal Vermaa, who has written soulful lyrics, and Grammy-winning engineer Dave Kutch.

The theme and composition of ‘Kismat’ are inspired by a desire to create something contemporary that resonates with today’s audience, Javed shares. “Ayaz poured his heart into creating this song, and I matched that intensity in my performance. The production quality, including the mixing, is exceptional, and we recorded the track in the US to ensure it had a global appeal. I’m thrilled that ‘Kismat’ is receiving so much love and recognition.”

Reflecting on their evolving creative dynamic since their first project, Wirdd, Javed shares, “Our first collaboration was highly appreciated, and Ayaz and I truly connect on a creative level. This second collaboration is just as important and special, with our musical themes aligning perfectly. Ayaz is an incredibly talented artist, and I deeply admire his style. This new project holds significant meaning for both of us.”

Ayaz believes that Javed brought his voice’s unique, timeless quality to the song, which makes it special. “Javed’s voice is pure magic — rich, emotive, and timeless. What sets his contribution apart is his ability to breathe life into every word, making the emotions feel tangible. He captured the soul of ‘Kismat’ with such finesse that it feels like the song was tailor-made for him.”

Composing ‘Kismat’ came with its own set of challenges, particularly in aligning the music with the emotional depth of the lyrics, says Ayaz. “To overcome this, I revisited the composition multiple times, drawing inspiration from my experiences. The process was made smoother through close collaboration with Javed and Kunaal, which helped us bring out the true heart of the song and make it feel authentic.”
