Music is something that has always played an important role in people’s lives all across the globe. And certainly, it tells a lot about someone’s personality. So let’s dig in singer Akriti Kakkar’s playlist and find out her taste in music. Here are her favourite six songs, which sets her mood right:
Tere Bin Nahi Lagda Dil Mera by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
The song has some sort of power that it does something to me every time I hear it in his voice. It’s magical. Even though I am happily in love, it makes me feel very torn inside.
Lag Jaa Gale By Lata Mangeshkar
It’s an eternal fav of all music lovers.
Nature Boy by Nat King Cole
It’s a first Jazz song that I ever heard. One of a very prominent Jazz musicians introduced me to Nat King Cole. He gave it to me on a CD and my mind was blown. As a 14-year-old when I heard it for the first time, I was like yeh kya hai, yeh toh kabhi sunna hi nahi. I have heard Lataji, Ashaji, voh itna difficult hai, yeh naya kya hai. It had a very crazy impact on my head.
Akhiyan Udeek Diyan by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I don’t know why but everytime I sing it on stage, it creates that magical aura. Even the qawwali version of this is just out of the world.
Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho by Mohammed Rafi
I don’t think anybody can sing this song how Rafi sahab sung it. Nobody can even try getting close to the high that he created with his voice.
Aao Naa by Shankar Ehsaan Loy
It supersedes even Pehla Nasha for me, which is a very close song to my heart. I just love the composition. You must listen to it.
