Koi Ishq by Nick Dhammu, Sharry Maan

Koi Ishq arrived from the Ishq Garaari album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2013. Credit goes to Nick Dhammu for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Nick Dhammu, Sharry Maan understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. For fans of Sharry Maan, Rannvijay Singh, Vinaypal Buttar, Mukesh Vohra, Gulzar Inder Chahal, Mandy Takhar, Miss Pooja, Gunjan Walia, Prabhleen Sandhu, Koi Ishq is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

When it came out in 2013, Koi Ishq felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

In 3:57 minutes, Koi Ishq builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
