NERAY AAH - OVERLOAD AND RACHEL VICCAJI
Song Review
Neray Aah was originally featured in the soundtrack for the 1998 Punjabi film Choorian, directed by Syed Noor and sung by Saira Naseem.
Overload released a cover version as a single in 2011.
As the first film song to be done on Coke Studio ‘Neray Aah’ reflects on the desires and torments of worldly love and how in its extreme it can drive a person to their insanity.
Coke Studio’s interpretation of this song uses a popular dhol groove played with Zeppelin style drums to create the basis of the fusion.
Farhad & Rachel perform aptly to render a theatrical undertone and lend to the mood of the song.
