ROCK OF ASIAN: Arash
by guest contributor DISGRASIAN, originally published at DISGRASIAN
I don’t know about you, but when I think of Snow’s 1993 hit, “Informer,” I get all giddy and nostalgic inside. You can’t summon the energy? Would a photo help?
Ohhhhhh yeah. Those round sunglasses, so low on the nose bridge. That hair! That sullen gaze! And that sultry, smooth Snow voice! OMG. I can’t deal.
Okay, if you’re not feeling it like me, I can’t force you. But I can offer you an exciting new take on the oh-so-good-even-though-it-feels-so-wrong original:
THE BOLLYWOOD VERSION! Fabulous Arash turns the “Informer” tune into “Chori Chori” (Secretly).
Now mind you, the lyrics and the talent may be new and different, but if you just close your eyes and relax, I swear you’ll kinda believe it’s snowing. Just a little bit.

FYI: Arash is an Irani born in Sweden. He’s not Indian, but the young lady working with him is.
I’m glad you like some Irani music, though!

I like Arash thus far. My favorite song of his is Arash by well himself. LOVES it!
Snow is still doing his thing in Canada and for a lot of blacks in Canada, he’s doing the thing in the reggae and dancehall scene. He had another big dancehall hit back in the late ’90s with “I Would Do Anything For You” featuring Nadine.
