Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 28 (ANI): The second track from Prem Keetanu, 'Kaho Toh', is now out, bringing Armaan Malik's voice to the film's romantic side.
The song combines contemporary music with Qawwali and Sufiyana elements, giving the track a mix of modern and traditional sounds.
Starring Veer Pahariya and Aafiya Sayed, 'Kaho Toh' focuses on the feelings that come with falling in love, from yearning to finding the courage to follow those emotions. The song is sung by Armaan Malik, with lyrics by Sachin Urmtosh and music by Annkur R Pathakk. The Qawwali portions have been sung by Altamash Faridi.
Armaan said he enjoyed returning to the kind of romantic songs that have been a part of Bollywood for years. Armaan in a statement, said, "Kaho Toh is an out-and-out Bollywood romantic number, and it always gives me a lot of joy to sing songs like this because they transport you back to a time when these larger-than-life romantic songs were such an integral part of Bollywood films. I'm really happy I got the chance to return to my OG romantic roots with this one."
Armaan also spoke about working with composer Annkur R Pathakk for the first time. He said the combination of Bollywood romance and Qawwali gives the song its own sound.
