With an opening chorus that could easily trick one into thinking you were listening to a cover of an old classic song, “Aaja Re Moray Saiyaan” is an original, and an incalculably organic tune performed by Zebunnisa Bangash featuring Noori. Written by Zehra Nigah, the words flow around love in all its forms portraying the classic romantic sensibility, together with harmonies adding the depth and the infectious chorus running through the track’s veins. Zeb’s personality and classically trained vocal talent shines strong, while Ali Hamza and Ali Noor’s vocals drift over the top of the lush instrumentation arranged by them as music directors, encapsulating all their strengths in this instantly catchy, sing-along song.

In a signature Coke Studio format, the platform has called on the talents of Ali Azmat and Javed Bashir to collaborate and take things to the next level on ‘Man Kunto Maula’. The enigmatic sound is made possible with words of Ali Azmat’s part penned by Sabir Zafir, coming together effortlessly with the kalaam of Hazrat Ameer Khusro. Ali Azmat takes the lead on the verses in his familiar pop-rock vocals, and as the song progresses the heartfelt voice of Javed Bashir grips one ever so tightly. The duos vocals work seamlessly together, as the house band graces the track with their precise and decisive contribution, and the humnawa provide repeating hook for the chorus – truly embracing the very essence of the Qawwali and capturing the soul of everyone that comes within its aural range.
