‘Man Aamadeh Am pairs the songstress Gul Panrra’s perfectly dreamy vocals with Atif Aslam’s signature style, delivering a magical rendition on this love ballad of a classic Iranian song featuring Urdu verses penned by Atif himself. As Tanveer Tafu works his charm on the Rubab and Arsalan Rabbani masterfully provides the melodic sound with his Harmonium, Gul and Atif effortlessly interweave the emotions while singing words of love and heartache.
