Meesha Shafi has always been a rock star. She has been on our radar ever since she mesmerized the whole world with Alif Allah Chambey Di Booti with the inimitable Arif Lohar. This year, continuing her legacy of churning out powerful renditions of traditional songs done the Meesha way, with her sexy voice, Meesha has outdone herself on Coke Studio.
After the EDM inspired Bholay Bhalay Saiyaan, Meesha sang the Aaya Laariye song on Episode 4 of Coke Studio
The song is a traditional Punjabi tappa, sung at weddings. It was made famous by Musarrat Nazir years ago and has just been given a modern, refreshing spin by Meesha Shafi along with Naeem Abbas Rufi.
And, as expected, people fell in love with the song
I can see myself headbanging to #AayaLaariye in the car while my friends beg me for the aux cord & eventually kick me out on Kashmir Highway

And of course, with Meesha Shafi
Aaya Laariye is so so amazing! Even the starting from back-vocalists was beautiful. @itsmeeshashafi is officially the queen of season 9!

This person thought of a brilliant partner for Meesha to sing a duet with
Meesha Shafi is beautiful & so talented. Would love to see her and Naseebo pair up for a duet.

We think Meesha and Naseebo Lal would be an amazing duo, too.
Some people could not stop singing praise for the Pakistani goddess that Meesha has proven herself to be
@itsmeeshashafi YOU ROCKSTAR!!
