With Strings taking over as producers of Coke Studio and mega stars like Rahat Fateh Ali releasing his solo album ‘Back2love’, the year was full of hits and misses.
However, credit must be given to young acts like Jimmy Khan, Sibti & Spoonful and Naseer & Shahab for releasing some fresh music.

marvelous singing by Abbas in mujhy bar bar
i wanted to vote. but since i could not find how to, so i am writing. i vote for Mujhay Baar Baar - Abbas Ali Khan. thank you.
Well if we're being truly honest, Ghoongat is not pakistani. Its a cross border collaboration. The vocalist isnt Pakistani... slightly unfair.
Asrar- Sub Akho Ali Ali
Naddiya---the best so far!
Mekaal Hasan Band's Song Ghoongat… 100%
Ghoongat — Mekaal Hasan Band… I really love this song...
