Some fabulous songs from Coke Studio (both India & Pakistan)

I generally prefer the songs that give me the mental peace & stability when I'm quite disturbed. But sometime I listen Pop,Rock or Rap songs. Till now I was in bollywood zone but from last one year I have started to listen the albums & coke studios & other artists.
As far as coke studio is concerned, I started from Indian Coke studio & recently in last month I have started to listen Pakistani Coke Studio & believe me I was literally flabbergasted by their quality of music & singing. I'm a big pakistani coke studio fan now!!!
  • Pakistani Coke Studio:
As I first listened the Pakistani Coke Studio, it took me some time to understand & digest that music. The music level of this coke studio is pretty high. What I love about Pakistani Coke studio is that they use their instruments brilliantly. They create the base tunes of the songs very gracefully.
My favourite songs from Pakistani Coke Studio are :
  1. Bewajah
This is my favourite song from the entire studio (both Indian & Pakistan). The singer of this song Nabeel Shaukat Ali has written the song. His voice will literally goosebump your body. It's okay if you don't listen any of the listed below but this is a must song to listen!!
2Afreen Afreen
This was my first coke studio song from Pakistan. The debut singer for coke studio & very beautiful (in face & voice both) Monina Mustehasan & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan have given a class performance. This song is a remake virsion but it's really good.
3. Tera Woh Pyaar
This is one of my favourite songs. The instrumental tone of flute is really amazing & it's my recent ringtone. Just listen to it once, you don't get to listen such songs nowadays.
4Aaya Laariye
This is a wedding song from Pakistan which is recreated. I'm a fan of the singer of this song Meesha Shafi who is singer as well as an actress. When my granny heard this song, she said,” We are gonna play this song in your wedding.” The whole lyrics are in Punjabi. Hope you like it too.
5. Jhoolay Laal
This song is basically a Dhamaal. It's a song catagory like sufi,quawali etc. The music is awesome. A quite soothing and worth listening.
6Anokha Laadla
The original track is in very low pitch tone & has very slow pace. The recreation is a mixture of rock & malody. The female singer Damia Farooq is a youngest singer in coke studio & you will get to know that why she is in coke studio in the age of 17 when you will listen this song.
7. Sammi Meri Waar
This song is sung by Umair Jayswal & Quratulain Balouch. Quratulain Balouch is my most favourite singer from Coke Studio. She is the singer of the title track of the very famous Pakistani daily soap Humsafar starred Fawad Khan & Mahira Khan. By watching the male singer performing, you will also shake your head.
8Baliye (Laung Gawacha)
Again QB (Quratulain Balouch)!!! She has nailed the very famous song Laung Gawacha. You will see how someone can take a high pitch tone so easily. Another noticable part in this video is her attitude in song. She has literally thrown away the song by singing it so easily. I don't really like the male part in this.
9. Man Amadeh Am
The lyrics of this song are in Farsi & Urdu both. Though I don't know Farsi but still I enjoy the music & tone of this song. The high range of Atif Aslam is a key part in this song.
10. Nadiya
If you are a fan of Retro Indian Songs then you are surely gonna like it. It seems like it is picturised on Dev Anand & Madhubala (as per my fantasy)!
11. Bholay Bhalay
A song of Meesha Shafi!! A very unique song I would say.
12. Man Kunto Maula
A song by a classical singer Javed Bashir ( Singer of Ye Tune Kya Kiya from Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobara) & Ali Azmat. It is basically a quawali which is remaked. I personally like Ali Azmat’s portion.
13. Aaja Re Moray Saiyaan
14. Tajdar-e-Haram
15Jugani
16Panchi
17. Garaj Baras
  • Indian Coke Studio:
In Indian coke studio, the artists are amazing like Amit Trivedi, Sachin Jigar, Vishal Dadlani, A. R. Rehman etc. But I personally like the songs of Amit Trivedi in coke studio.
So here is the list of my favourite songs:
  1. Madari
It was my first coke studio song & it's a masterpiece of Vishal Dadlani. I was not a Vishan Dadlani fan but after this I realised his range of singing.
2. Nirmohiya
It's the composition of Amit Trivedi. Basically, the lyrics show the complications & the confusion that a teenager come across in his/her life. It's quite soothing song. The main thing is, to express the feeling of lyrics in song, Amit Trivedi got the song sung by a 17 year old teenager Devendra Singh.
3. Teriyaan Tu Jaane
Again Amit Trivedi!! Harshdeep Kaur & Jyoti Nooran (One of the singer of Patakha Guddi from Highway) has sung this song perfectly. Quite a jazz type song !!!
4. Pinjara
The composition of Clinton Cerejo & the dual performance of Sanam Puri Jonita gandhi. Btw I'm a fan of Jonia Gandhi. Her voice is very unique & appealing.
5. Laadki
Since I'm Gujarati, I have a special attachment with this song. A very traditional & beautiful composition of Sachin Jigar. This song describes the emotions of a bride at the time of leaving her whole family(Bidayi) as well the emotion of her father in the voice of Kirtidan Gadhvi( The famous Dayra singer in Gujarat). This song is so emotional & touchy that my whole family cried after hearing this song.
6. Badri Badariya
This song is a mixture of the rock genre & Rajastani folk music composed by Amit Trivedi.
