10 Best Songs of Coke Studio India

Soulful music for the heart that relishes on the sweet melodies, music that makes you more appreciative of skills that people have mastered with their hard work and practice over time, tunes that make you sway and yearn for more – if Coke Studio isn’t the destination for you to get such a taste of finery, there’s worry for you since they are hands down the BEST.

If you’ve never heard of them or don’t know where to begin, here’s a list of the songs that you must absolutely track down and give a hear-

 

1. Madari - Clinton Cerejo, Vishal Dadlani and Sonu Kakkar

A song of Sufi origin, the singers soulfully declare to be a servant to their master’s wishes, to have a divine feeling of being one with God.

 

 

2. Zariya – A.R. Rahman, Ani Choying and Farah Siraj

Every song that is composed by A.R. Rahman is a masterpiece, undoubtedly. The song features a chant by a Nepalese monk, followed by the warmth of Ani Choying’s voice. 

 

 

3. Afreen Afreen – Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Momina Mustehsan

The word ‘Afreen’ has multiple meanings in various languages, varying from ‘beautiful’ to praising the beloved. This melody will make you sway with its own charm. Do check out Anirban Dasgupta’s stand-up comedy act where he mentions this song and clearly cannot stop gushing over it.

 

 

4. Sheher – Amit Trivedi and Tanvi Shah

The voice and the tune show how important the union of composition and vocals both are to give you a tune to groove to.

 

 

5. Allah Hoo – Hitesh Sonik and Jyoti Noor

Soulful Sufi, a spin of rock ‘n’ roll to it, the sound of the harmonium, this song is fusion at its best. 

 

 

6. Jhumoor – Papon, Dulal Manki and Simantha Shekhar

Has Papon ever failed to make us fall in love with his voice? He doesn’t this time either when he joins in the third verse. The flute lines by Nirmalya Humtoo Dey are no less than surreal.

 

 

7. Teriyaan Tu Jaane – Amit Trivedi, Harshdeep Kaur and Jyoti Nooran

An interesting jugalbandi, two powerful voices of Jyoti Nooran and Harshdeep Kaur will amaze you.

 

 

8. Laadki – Sachin-Jagir, Tanishka S, Kirtidan G and Rekha Bharadwaj

A song sung by a little girl beautifully will undoubtedly catch anyone’s attention. Then again, so does the decision of Sachin Jigar to feature his daughter and the lyrical verses sung by Kirtidan G and Rekha Bharadwaj.

 

 

9. Kattey – Ram Sampath, Bhanvari Devi and Hard Kaur

Classical Rajasthani vocals and rapping in the same song? You heard that right! An amazing song about freedom and the sense of belonging!

 

 

10. Naariyan – Amit Trivedi, Karthik and Shalmali Kholgade

We’ve seen Amit Trivedi’s list on this list quite a few times and why should we not when he’s composed such brilliant tunes? This one is a fun composition that describes the heart of a free-spirited woman.
