Tere Liye....


I am totally smitten by this Atif Aslam tune ever since I heard it a few months back. At the outset, it might not catch you as a great song; in many ways it has typical cheesy lyrics, not particularly extraordinary music but I can’t get over the second stanza  - it’s perfection. 


It’s almost built by the interlude before for a lovely high pitched rendition of the female singer (  bheegi bheegi raatoen mein…) which again gets repeated later ( bikri tere …). Lovely mixture of perfect vocals and beats.  In my listening history this is one of the songs dominated by great female vocals (Male vocals are distinct but has become somewhat signature Atif Aslam). May be good Asian music sounds like this in 20th century?
