Well I have roped in the Koel who sings kuhoo……kuhoo in muziboo for this song:) Kuhoo’s parents might have known in advance that she was to have a voice as sweet as the Koel. Well when she accepted my request and sent me her file, I was spellbound! A beautiful voice with clear diction, expression, and spot on pitching is what makes Kuhoo special! And she does remind you of Lataji in her younger days! I never had to correct the pitch or even EQ her voice at any place! It’s just as she has sung, just with the reverb effect.
And what a composition by A.R Rahman sung with moving emotion and grace by the then 77 year old Lata Didi! She can still move mountains with her voice alone……This song has made me cry literally every time I hear it!
Prasoon Joshi’s words are simple but striking and A.R R has masterly sung the male portions himself with his distinctive rustic voice.
