SOUNDCHECK: COURTING RITUALS.

This is a collaboration that has been in the works for quite some time. Ever since they performed together late last year, Natasha Noorani and Hasan Raheem have been mulling over working on a track together. Well, halfway through this year and it has finally happened. The result is a quirky song that reflects both of their fun sides.

Faltu Pyaar [Worthless Love] has been written and performed or vocalised by Natasha Noorani and Hasan Raheem. It's been produced, mixed and mastered by Talal Qureshi. Hasan Raheem has also played the guitars on the track and is one of the executive producers of the song as well, along with Natasha Noorani and Zayan Abedeen.

This is an upbeat song that you can dance to and is a song that's ideal for performing live. One can completely picture how fun it would be to attend a live version of Faltu Pyaar in real life. It kicks off with Hasan Raheem strumming the guitar, setting an upbeat, preppy tone to the song. Radio voice effect vocals play over the strumming before the rest of the music - the electronic percussions and keyboards - comes in, with Hasan Raheem appealing to the object of his attention to take his declarations of love seriously. But she is not impressed.

Noorani and Raheem's interactions give us an indication of what Faltu Pyaar is about - a kind of courtship dance - and becomes clear at this point during the song:

Hasan Raheem: Kyun meri baatein asar na karein tujh ko meri jaan?/ Yuun meray jigar ke tukrray bata...
