Coke studio 14 has been phenomenal. Every song has a different feel. Xulfi knows how to experiment with music. This season is a mix of regional languages, Balochi, Punjabi, etc. Qurat ul Ain Baloch aka QB is back with a bang in the latest song with Zain and Zohaib.
Coke studio 14 released its 11th song, which had us hooked. The qawwali styled Thagyan, which talks of the betrayal of the beloved. The Associate Music Producer Action Zain penned it down, and it took him one month to do just that. He has also composed the song using the traditional elements and humnawas. He said, “It feels really grounded to use tradition and familiarity as a launchpad to explore the unknown.”
This song reminds us of the way coke studio music used to be, a combination of harmonies and catchy lyrics. The sets of this season add to the beauty of the songs. In this number, the ‘Neon lights cut through incense fumes and shadows, giving a neo-noir feel to the video.’
Pasoori – Coke Studio Sixth Song Is Much More Than We Expected!
We are so excited to see our favorite QB in this song. QB had last appeared in season 12. ‘It is a protest song, which objects to the tricky nature of love. Suspended somewhere between heaven and earth, Thagyan says there is pleasure in the sorrows of this dimension.’ The song opens with Zain Zohaib, in which they complain about how one person occupies the thoughts:
Jadon da toon takkya ae hoya bura haal ve
Dil mera chaahnda hun rahwaan tere naal ve
Dil noon eh dil diyaan laggiyan ne maariya
Saahnoon chan maahiya teri ṭhaggiyaan ne maariya
QB enters the set with a reply to show how trust is important with the following lines:
Ik waari jaawe fer muṛ ke toon aaunda naeen
Saaḍe wal maahiya fer phera toon te paaunda naeen
Lokaan kol bahna en toon
Door saathon rahna en toon
Kahnde loki la ke toon toṛ nibhaaunda naeen
Tere baare khabraan eh pakkiyaan ne maariya
Saahnoon chan maahiya teri ṭhaggiyaan ne maariya
The crew enjoys the song rather than reinventing it. There’s a party in the courtyard. Director Kamal Khan and Production Designer Hashim Ali have added funk to the air, a magenta wash of light, and flowers blooming underfoot, making the performance slinky and fun.
The song has taken Twitter.
Love pours out for the song across the border.

Oh man, Coke Studio Season 14 – banger after banger! How can they keep getting it right every single time? It's mind blowing! Thagyan, the latest offering continues the trend. Pasoori still remains my favorite though, with tu jhoom, kana Yaari and Beparwah close seconds.

People are in absolute love with QB’s voice and they want here to do more such songs.
Repeating for the hundredth time maybe, there is something mesmerizing about @Quratulainb's voice. I hope she drops new music more often. Till then, this one's going in loop. #CokeStudio14https://t.co/Ju1gjjBgEG
