1. Allah hoo
The song, which was famously composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, was recreated by Hamza Tanveer, Rizwan Butt, and Sibtain Khalid in Nescafe Basement, who flawlessly replicated the masterpiece while adding their flair.
2. Mehbooba
Mehbooba is a song done with justice by Ali Asghar, Ali Tariq, Hamza Tanveer, and Sinan Salman and has received a lot of praise and popularity. Haroon Rashid, the song’s original performer, liked the performance as well.

“Bol Hu,” a collaboration between multi-talented artists Soch Band and Hadiya, produced by music master Xulfi, is an amalgamation of a heartfelt experience and a spiritual trip. With the purity of its execution, the genuineness of this song shows through.
4. Tere Ishq Mein
The Sufi marvel is a reimagining of Alan Faqir and Mohammad Ali Sheikhi’s masterpiece Tere Ishq Main. The music takes you on a magnificent journey by diving deep into the soul.
5. Tu Mera Nahi
The vocals provided are great execution and contrast between the original and the subsequent version, originally sung and recorded by Rizwan Anwar. When the vocal meets the orchestra and meshes together, the melody is amplified.
