Ali Zafar is recording a studio version of ‘Dastaan e Ishq‘ which has already garnered enormous fame from the 2nd season of Coke Studio Sessions. He is recording the song with Baqir Abbas, the flute player who performed with Ali in Coke Studio, for his upcoming album titled ‘Jhoom‘. The album is in the final stages of mixing. This time he is mixing, arranging, recording, writing, playing keyboards and synthesizing everything by himself. Ali Zafar plans to release the album independently without the support of a record label.

As Overload and Mekaal Hasan Band release their records without the backing of a record label and pull it off without a glitch, Instep takes a look at the burgeoning music scene, record label battles and how the Internet just might be the way out

By Maheen Sabeeh

Throwing out the blame

Internet. The inescapable term that has become an intrinsic part of our lives. We tweet through our phones; share pictures and at times send pointed (albeit indirect) messages to people on Facebook… and that is just one small example. According to the CIA Fact Book, Pakistan had an estimated 17.5 million internet users in the year 2009. So if music sales are going down at stores, which they very much are, we can guess that fans are downloading and sharing albums online instead. {Read More…}

YouTube is no longer just a medium where artists can share their content with the rest of the world. It is also a barometer of gauging public opinion. The latest example is Coke Studio. This season, YouTube is overloaded with Coke Studio content (despite an official website) and the two songs that have garnered enormous fame include Ali Zafar‘s ‘Dastaan-e-Ishq‘ and Noori and Saieen Zahoor‘s ‘Aik Alif‘. This is not to say that the rest of the singles were ordinary. Pretty much every tune was spectacular but some were more audibly stunning than others. And the numbers keep rising according to the varied views. When these numbers reached Ali Zafar, he was ecstatic. {Read More…}

So, the coke studio season 2 finally comes to an end. We all are going to miss the studio where the fusion happened and will desperately wait for the the third season to come (May Allah give long life to Rohail Hyatt). During the airing of the second season, we actively collected statistics and ran voting polls (10 days per poll) for each episode, so, we may figure out and also share with you the likenesses and dis likeness of the crowd about the the season.

The statistics and analysis are our own and must not be used anywhere else without prior permission. They do not represent the original statistics of the Coke Studio by the Cokestudio.com.pk {Read More…}

From his days of ‘Channo’ to the years of ‘Masty’, Ali Zafar has come a long way. He was the one of the big stars of Coke Studio last year but it was his rendition of ‘Allah Hoo’ with Saeen Tufail Ahmed that changed the game for him. It proved one fact: Ali Zafar is capable of a lot more than funky, flirtatious pop music. {Read More…}

While Coke Studio continues to run on airwaves with Ali Zafar shining after his magnificent performance of ‘Dastaan-e-Ishq’ this year, the pop star is en route to Canada for a show.

Meanwhile the debate over Ali Zafar switching brands – he has moved from Telenor to Mobilink Jazz – has led to a general wondering about what happened. Ali begs to differ. {Read More…}

Hi Guys ,

So sorry for not writing for so long but it’s been crazy busy. Even now i was packing for a flight in a few hours but thought must write to you guys write me off

First of all thank uuu soo much for all the birthday gifts. Madeeha thank you for the books.

I am thrilled to see the response on ” Dastaan-e-Ishq”. As i had written earlier that there was an unusual exprerience that had happened and will talk about it later . Well even now all i can say is, that it is something that can only be felt and not described. But i am very happy with what coke studio has brought to our generation. {Read More…}

Filmed without a live audience, this year Coke Studio (CS) feels rather cold and almost mechanical. Gone is the intimate relationship between the music and its audience, and instead we’re meant to listen to music that’s very carefully controlled and tinkered with. {Read More…}

Song: Janay Do (Coke Studio)

Jaane bhi do, rokh na, mujhay yahan
Ja raha hoon mein, Chal wahan, mere yaar

(Chorus)

Mujhay jaane do wahan
Mujhay saathi rehnay do

Kya karain wahan, chor kai, yeh duniya
Kya karoon yahan, bin tere, mayray pass

(Chorus)

Mujhay jaane do wahan
Mujhay saathi rehnay do

Chalan gar meri Raza
Mujhay baaghi rehnay do

Thora dil yay dharkay
Thora thora bharkay

Phir bhi dil mein hai khushee

Riha kar kai yeh mann
Fida kar kay yeh tann

Zindagi mil gayee

(Chorus)

Mujhay rehnay do yahan
Mere saathi aa milo

Chalan yeh meri raza
Yahan Baaghi rehnay do
