Anokha Laadla, Basit Ali & Damia Farooq, Episode 6, Coke Studio Season 9

Originally Composed by Ashiq Ali
Additional Compostition by Faakhir
Lyrics by Raees Farough
Produced by Strings

Within the first few seconds the classic tune, ‘Anokha Laadla’ – establishes the bars of nostalgia with a sense of familiarity – fueled by Damia Farooq’s subtle and effortless vocals. That is until in a split second the track pauses before a psychedelic riff transforms the original arrangement of the track, and the vocals of Basit Ali cut through distinctive and strong. Written by Raees Farough and originally composed by Ashiq Ali, the overhauled duet has a renewed edge comprising an upbeat drumbeat, fuzzy guitar twangs, a brilliant sitar solo – adeptly delivering a tune with a powerful soul comprising a timeless, moving melody. #CokeStudio9
