Raghav
I listened to Raghav's "Angel Eyes" recently and am totally mesmerized with that - heard it about a dozen times so far and still want to listen to it everytime I sit inside my car. It's a very nice mix of Indian music with Reggae and R&B. Raghav, a Canadian Born Indian, has trained in the Indian Classical music (most probably Hindustani). He knows and speaks Hindi fluently (apart from English and French).
I see a very strong vocal talent in him and I think he should probably try some playback singing. His voice is both familiar and very unique. I see a bit of Hariharan and Babul Supriyo in his voice, only much much better. The only downside is his association with the Reggae and R&B - a bit of it is ok, but I see a lot of it his "Story Teller" album. If he can get away from that and get into playback singing or regular indy-pop he is bound to get into the mainstream market ... <Read More>.

I love to watch his video, leke pehla pehla pyaar' too. He is good at what he does
Yeah, no doubts about that. His videos are also pretty well made.
Mr. Twin Gemini, I am not a music junkee but I do listen to occasionally. I am glad you loved angel eyes, I like the ending when he is singing in hindi. There is a hindi vocal by him called "EK DIN AAP". It has very limited music and that helps raghav bring out the best of his vocal skills. You should also hear/see CAN'T GET ENOUGH. Anyways, too much said about raghav, try hearing BULLA KI JAANA by rabbi shergil. Hear it a dozen times and I am sure you will be hooooooked.
Yes his hindi is fluent for a Canadian born. I have not listened to "Ek Din Aap" or his "Can't get Enough", I will do that soon.
"Bulla Ki Jaana" is another of my favorite. I wouldnt call that an amazing song, but it's quite infectious.
Anand it would be great if you could give a link to the songs if its on the web. Just a click and people like me would know what you are talking about.
Ok, here you go:

Have you noticed that he resembles the Hollywood actor Jude Law a bit? I havent seen Rabbi's Video yet, am just waiting to find it on the net somewhere.
