First and foremost, I apologize for late review. The coke studio episodes didn’t come last week and I assumed that it is over. Bah.
Tere Liye, Ali Azmat, Riaz Qadri and Ghulam Ali Qadri
The rock star Ali Azmat is back with a rocking song.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars.
Ilallah, Sounds of Kolachi
Beautiful lyrics. Very melodious. And sweet vocals.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars.
Dil Hai Pakistan
This one brings Hassan Jahnagir and Gul Panra together for immensely popular Hawa Hawa.
This is my favourite from the episode. I didn’t even know Hassan Jahangir when I heard the ‘Hawa Hawa’ for the first time. I liked the video, the song and even the two remixes – from Chalis Chaurasi and Mubarakan.
This one is also interesting. I particularly liked the female section in the sweet voice of Gul Panra. Her slightly different pronunciation bettered the charm of the song.
Rating: 4/5 stars.
Other observations:
- Hawa Hawa was my favourite.
- Illallah first section sounded like “Sooha Saaha” from Highway.
- I have added far too many links in this post, but I felt it was needed.
Thanks for reading.
