London, September 20, 2024: After more than 30 years, the long-lost album Chain of Light by legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has finally been released. Recorded in April 1990 at Real World Studios, the album has been unveiled by Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records.
The newly released album features four tracks and has a runtime of 41 minutes. The songs include “Ya Allah Ya Rehman,” “Aaj Sik Mitran Di,” “Ya Gaus Ya Meeran,” and “Khabram Raseed Imshab.”
Chain of Light was recorded during the same period when Khan collaborated with Canadian producer Michael Brook on the iconic album Mustt Mustt. Alongside Nusrat’s powerful vocals and harmonium, the album features his brother Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, tabla player Dildar Hussain, and chorus members Mujahid Ali, Rehmat Ali, Rahat Ali, Asad Ali, Ghulam Farid, and Khalid Mahmood.
Peter Gabriel, the founder of Real World Records and former Genesis frontman, expressed his deep admiration for Nusrat when the album was first announced in June. “What he could do and make you feel with his voice was extraordinary,” Gabriel remarked. “We were proud to help bring him to a wider global audience. This album captures Nusrat at his peak.”
