La La La - Baazaar by Neha Kakkar, Bilal Saeed

There is an honesty to La La La - Baazaar that separates it from most Hindi songs released around the same time. The arrangement here is the work of Bilal Saeed, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

The voice of Neha Kakkar, Bilal Saeed carries La La La - Baazaar effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The connection between Saif Ali Khan, Rohan Vinod Mehra, Radhika Apte, Chitrangada Singh, Denzil Smith and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2018 marked the release of Baazaar, and La La La - Baazaar was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. The emotional register of La La La - Baazaar is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

The concision of La La La - Baazaar — just 3:07 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. The staying power of La La La - Baazaar is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
