Chaap Tilak:Legendary singers Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan combined to produce Chaap Tilak. The chorus including Nadeem, Abbas Ali, Shahrukh Ali and Ehsan Ali, added to the lovely track.
Descent To The Ocean Floor:Usman Riaz did it again as he showed mastery over the keyboard in Descent To The Ocean Floor with Sara Haider and Rachel Viccaji as guest musicians. Usman Riaz’s prodigal skill mixed with the orchestral sound from the string section gave the song a feeling of a western classical film score.
Yaad:With powerful vocals, Javed Bashir gave a resonating performance with Yaad. With Tanveer Tafu and Arsalan Ali as guest musicians, the chorus comprising of Asif Ali, Amir Ali, Zahid Ali, Shafqat Ali, Amanat Ali and Junaid Ali added to more substence in the song.
Jaana:Episode six concludes with a tribute to the legendary pop sensation, Nazia Hassan as her brother Zoheb Hassan sings the duet, Jaana with Zoe Viccaji. With Amir Zaki and Mubashir Admani as guest musicians, Jaana is a nostalgic reminder of the celebrated Nazia Hassan and having Zoe Vicajji on this song is the perfect choice.
