Coke Studio Season 4 Episode 1 - JAL

So while we wait for the Indian version of Coke Studio to premier, the Pakistani version's 4th Season kick started a month back and as always it has been a nice relaxing listen. I had mentioned in my earlier post of the song by Bilal Khan and along with him featured the more recognised and popular JAL who sang Ik Aarzu which is followed by Tere Ishq Nachaya and finally ends with Mast Qalandar. Now there have been quite some feelers that while Ik Aarzu is sung with total perfection the track does not live up to the mark in the later tracks. In my opinion, Mast Qalandar is always going to be a challenge to pull off as the comparison to the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan will come try however much may anyone and to come up to par with his singing is something which most artist would look up to. There are quite a few out there who think JAL have nailed the song too so the jury is still out, however for me the first part of the track is the one which rocks. Let me know what you think......
