Lap Lap Kare by Ritesh Pandey

Lap Lap Kare is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. Chhote Baba has a history of strong work, and the music on Lap Lap Kare is among the most memorable of it.

The vocal on Lap Lap Kare is among the better performances Ritesh Pandey has committed to record. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Lap Lap Kare, making it as much a performance as a song.

In 2016, Bhojpuri produced many songs, but Lap Lap Kare was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

Running to 4:11, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Ritesh Pandey and Chhote Baba, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
