  • About Reviewer: Amateur Producer Fan superb intro, classic rhythm beat, i unfortunately have no clue to the original songs but i thought the "nayan tarse" vocals have a bit too much reverb, bring it out a lill, also the beat goes a lill weak when around the vocals, embolden them, great use of effex, quite liked the bassline too man, the "perdesi" vocals for me could be brought into the mix a lot more
