After two less-than-amazing episodes in the third season, Coke Studio hit the third one outta the park.
I immensely loved Mori Araj Suno. It is an emotionally draining song — because of the musical structure and the prominent use of Ni without hitting the Sa.
Abida Parveen’s earlier Ramooz-e-ishq was better than Nigah-e-Darwaishaa, Chori Chori was nice, Pritam was better than nice, and ADP’s Sultanat was surprisingly very good (In fact, it is the theme song for the road-trip I’m currently on).

In Episode 4, I liked Hor Vi Neevan Ho the most, for its use of sagar veena. It is a soothing listen. It brought down my breathing rate in its first 10 seconds.
