Here is the other Lata solo from 'hyderabad ki nazneen' that I mentioned in my last post. This one too is sung with an amazing grace and between the two songs, I can't decide which one I like better. I am not sure why this song is not amongst Lata's popular numbers. Vasant Desai keeps the orchestration simple here and let's the voice dominate, as opposed to the previous song. A very strong base of tabla is the only thing he has in the vocal parts of the song. In the music interludes he also includes the sitar and an ocassional flute piece very nicely. Lata goes high at the end of each antara and returns back at the start of the mukhada. She also stretches the last word of the first and third lines of the antaras, creating a beautiful effect.
