Being the first main stream Afghan hip hop and pop singer, Aryana left a good first impression behind in the Afghan Music Industry. However, her turning point in her career came after her song ''Afghan Pesarak'' got released. Aryana Sayeed became a household name in many Afghan homes outside of Afghanistan and was requested to perform at many concerts around the world. Her song ''Tark'' was less popular and criticised for it's resemblance to [[Love Don't Cost A Thing]] by [[Jennifer Lopez]]. At the peak of all the sudden success, Aryana decided to go to Afghanistan and perform at concerts inside her fragile home country. Aryana Sayeed rose to fame there with her version of an old classic Afghan song, ''Gule Seb''. It was during these initial days in Afghanistan when she filmed her next song ''Dilam Tang Ast''. The success of the song resulted in an Award for best song filmed inside Afghanistan at the [[Aryana Television Awards]]. It also resulted into a new career as a TV host at one of Afghanistan's leading entertainment channels. Her next song ''Hairanam'' did reasonably well. Aryana's next big success, ''Jelwa'', was a collaboration with one of the leading singers in the Afghan Music Industry, [[Jawid Sharif]]. This was the second time they paired up after their initial success, ''Biya Biya''. Aryana Sayeed followed this up by an upbeat nationalistic song to encourage the art of sports in her country. Several singers were signed on to make the song, ''Afghanistan Afghanistan''. Aryana's most recent song, ''Banoo e Atash Nasheen'' which describes the pain the women of Afghanistan have faced over years of war and abuse has won her enormous critical acclaim. A large orchestra has contributed to the music of the song and the shooting took place inside Afghanistan. Shortly after the song was released, Aryana was asked for an interview by the BBC to explain her reason and meaning behind the song. |
