2.) Strings aka Tateeze was born in Chicago, Illinois in the late 70’s, where she gained her initial vocal performance experience in the church choir beginning at the age of eight. She continued to hone her vocal skills in the performing arts high school choir. At age 18, she attended an R Kelly concert in Oklahoma City where she made her way back stage and offered an unsolicited vocal audition. Shortly thereafter, she attended a private party where R Kelly was the featured guest and gave him a sample of her rapping skills. Her determination, persistence and unquestionable vocal and rap skills resulted in R Kelly signing her to her first label deal as a professional recording artist. Tateeze (then known as “Strings”) worked in the R Kelly camp for three years where she was featured on various recordings and performed on various tours.
While in the R Kelly camp she recorded her first album with Base Records / Jive which was not released. After her three year stint with R Kelly, Strings was signed to a solo artist deal with Epic Records by Keith Sweat. During this period she had the privilege of working with artists such as Keith Sweat, Swizz Beats, Mannie Fresh, Rick James, Twista, The Hot Boys and others. She was a featured artist on the Gotham City Remix single that went to 1 on the charts. She recorded her second album while with Epic. Although the album was not released, she did execute a six week promotional tour throughout the U.S.
In 2002, Tateeze was signed to a record deal with Cash Money Records. During this period, she performed several features on all the “named” Cash Money artist projects, including the 1 single “Oh Yeah”. Tateeze toured with the roster of artists as the “first lady” of Cash Money. Due to the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina, she was unable to complete here solo project. Strings describes her rap style as “unique”, “hard-core street”, “brutally honest” and “melodic” (she sings as well).
She is also readily described by her peers as “gifted, sexy, sensual and provocative”. Although she doesn’t feel that she has been influenced by any one particular rap artist in the industry, she does acknowledge that the song, “Lodi Dodi” performed by Slick Rick and Dougie Fresh inspired her to rap. She also has much respect for the work of Biggie Smalls and Jay Z. Her favorite artist for the most part are from the R & B genre; consisting of artists such as Alisha Keys, Lauren Hill, Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige.
As a personal goal, Strings aspires to be “that” well rounded female rap artist who has the look and the talent to thoroughly entertain her audience. She is presently seeking a solo artist deal with a well established label who will embrace and support her message and presentation.

और कहती रही वो मुझ से
जा के मिल उसको
दुश्मनी नहीं तुझ से
फिर था क्या सोचना
बस चल पड़ा
मैं चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
मैं चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
बूँदें मोती बन गये
और छूता रहा मैं उनको
बारीशों के शोर में
सुनता रह मैं तुम को
फिर था क्या सोचना
बस चल पड़ा
मैं चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
कुछ भी नहीं अपनी खबर ये जाना
अब तू ही तू आया नज़र ये माना
मेरे गीतो के बोल भी तुम ये जाना
मेरे रंगो के फूल भी तुम ये माना
तो चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
The song "Humsafar" by Strings is a beautiful tale of love, separation, and longing. The lyrics capture the emotions of the singer who is walking down the paths leading to his lover's house, which once used to be their paths but now are dark and lonely. The singer is encountered with a sudden downpour and reminiscences about the moments he shared with his lover in the rain. He compares the raindrops to pearls, and how they used to touch his lover's skin once upon a time. The lyrics bring out the themes of loss and pain and the hope that all will be well in the end.
The song's lyrics beautifully describe the feelings of someone who misses their lover, and who is willing to walk miles just to catch a glimpse of them. The lines "wo raaste tere aur mere humsafar" (those paths that were ours, my companion) convey the loneliness and despair in the singer's heart. The central theme of the song is that love is a long journey and that it has its ups and downs. The song's opening line "Fir ghata chha gayi" (then the clouds darkened) sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The music video for the song features the band Strings sitting on a set of stairs, performing the song, while clips of a couple walking in the rain are interspersed within the video. The song was an instant hit with audiences, both in Pakistan and abroad. The song has become synonymous with the band Strings and is regarded as one of their finest works.

फिर घटा छा गयी
Then the clouds darkened
और कहती रही वो मुझ से
And she kept on telling me
जा के मिल उसको
Go and meet her
दुश्मनी नहीं तुझ से
There's no animosity between you
फिर था क्या सोचना
Then what was there to think about
बस चल पड़ा
I just started walking
मैं चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
I started walking on those paths
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
That led to your home
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
Those paths were ours, the ones that led to your home
बूँदें मोती बन गये
The droplets turned into pearls
और छूता रहा मैं उनको
And I kept touching them
बारीशों के शोर में
Amidst the noise of the rains
सुनता रह मैं तुम को
I kept listening to you
कुछ भी नहीं अपनी खबर ये जाना
I didn't know anything about myself
अब तू ही तू आया नज़र ये माना
Now that you have come into my sight, I believe
मेरे गीतो के बोल भी तुम ये जाना
You know the lyrics of my songs
मेरे रंगो के फूल भी तुम ये माना
You appreciate the flowers of my colors
तो चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
So I started walking those paths
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
That led to your home
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
Those paths were ours, the ones that led to your home
चल पड़ा उन रास्तों पर
I started walking on those paths
जो जाते थे तेरे घर
That led to your home
वो रास्ते तेरे और मेरे हमसफर
Those paths were ours, the ones that led to your home

The video keeps going ‘backward’.
There is a short scene where a guy is shown getting up from the road and running. He was actually dead in the accident and his soul still went to meet his lover, girl, in that restraunt. The girl cannot see him and the guy doesnt know that he is dead.
She keeps waiting for him and finally goes out and finds him dead and the guy sees his own body (notice shoes) and then he finally realised that he is dead.
So basically, he still came to meet her, but he never actually got up after the accident, it was his soul that ran and went inside that restraunt.
Hope you understood it.
It is a complicated video, but a good one.

I still remember this song.. it came in 2008 or something .. at that time there was no YouTubeor any sort of facilities were there availabile for me ... So whenever this song appeared on MTV I recorded it with my phone... And listened to it daily... And even today whenever I listen to this it place me back to my teenage years... 💜
