This is a song about bold romance during the rains. It's about how the skies are pregnant with possibilities. On how the patter of raindrops refresh the entire landscape, and how no one can escape the feeling of romance in the air!
One of the most interesting collaborations to ever come up on Coke Studio @ MTV, is this crazy mix-up of two completely different worlds -- Bhanvari Devi's traditional, power house Rajasthani vocals, fuses with Hard Kaur's scorching rap on her personal life journey displaying her genuine rapping skills.
In a world where most love stories are about kids in love, this song is different. It's about a man's undying love towards a young girl. The village Choudhry is a powerful, restrained and successful man who falls in love with a young girl. This song teases those feelings.
This song celebrates one of India's Greatest mythological Super Heroes -- Durga in the form Mahishasura Mardini. The traditional prayer -- Mahishasura Mardini Stotram celebrating Shakti leads to Bulleh Shah's epic love kalaam re-rendered in an intense progressive rock groove.
Clinton takes the word 'Madari' literally & builds this playful track around the Madari himself. The song goes on to insinuate that the turn of destiny in a man's life also happens thanks to the Madari's all-knowing damru.
This composition by A.R Rahman is 'legendary' in more than one way -- the composition is a masterclass in fusing the traditional power of Hindustani classical vocals, with Carnatic scales few have mastered. For this, it brings together the beautiful voice of Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan, accompanied by his sons and grandson; with the guitar genius of Prasanna trading blows with Sivamani's explosive percussion.
Always known to bring a powerful voice & a unique, original flavour to every song -- Sona does exactly that on this upbeat & complex Ram Sampath composition based on the poetry of the 13th century iconoclast Hazrat Amir Khusro about love, freedom, devotion and abandon.
