imageCoke Studio recently gave Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic song ‘Afreen Afreen’ a complete new look and people can’t stop talking about it. Abdullah Qureshi who is a self-taught singer in Islamabad has given a perfect response to the Coke Studio’s version of ‘Afreen Afreen’.

After watching the Coke Studio rendition of Afreen Afreen, he decided to upload his own cover and pay tribute to great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He also said, “Sorry Coke Studio, but you missed the most beautiful verse of the song, so I couldn't stop myself from singing it. No comparisons please. Khan Saab will always be the King!”.

Soon after he uploaded his version of the song, People are apparently in love with him and feel that his acoustic version was more powerful than Coke Studio’s version. He also sang the complete song 4 years ago and uploaded it on his social media account.

The legendary ‘Afreen Afreen’ recreated by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and debutante Momina Mustesan for Pakistan’s Coke Studio season 9 and hasn’t lived it up to the expectations so far.
