Raat Akeli Hai

Raat Akeli Hai Lyrics & Chords

One of Asha’s best numbers from the movie Jewel Thief composed by the maestro S.D.Burman himself.

Song: Raat Akeli Hai
Film: Jewel Thief (1967)
Music: S.D.Burman
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri

Hi Smitha,

This is a tough song and you did well Smitha. Nice expressions , your voice had this asahaji-flavoured nasha the song required . Would give you 5/5 …….

Cheers

i have heard this one Smitha on ur blog….but forgot to comment there it seems……So I am going to take this oppurtunity and appreciate ur rendition of this song……singing wise start was fantastic……but then some first letters of each word were pitchy….seems like u were very close to the mic for both the high and low notes cos they are right after one another……also ill suggest u to mute the parts between the mukhdas and antaras……those hiss sounds are annoying to hear….Singing wise u r perfect as u know I am in love with ur voice…….just keep working a bit more on the recording basics……I sincerely believe that u r one of a star of Muziboo and with proper recording u will surely shine much brighter…….

AJ

This is your best Smitha… at least so far. The expressions were just unbelievable. Especially considering this is not your mother tongue. You sang this beautifully throughout and hit all the high notes with so much confidence. Much respect to you :-) 5/5 from me… and goes to my favs

Good singing…….the expressions were nice….the music was loud……a better mixing would greatly enhance the song quality.

Smitha …I have heard this before on your blog and I loved this rendition. This rendition has really done great justice to the original nashiley rendition by Ashaji. The one thing I greatly admire is open throat singing ….and you have sung this full blast….:) Yes and didnt I tell you earlier too ….Your voice has that Ashaji flavour……hope to hear more of these classics from you.

5/5 from me as well.

Very nice rendition Smitha. Track volume could be lowered. Agree with others that Asha songs suit you well.

Sagar Sawarkar said

Hi Smitha,
wonderful tonal quality! good breath control…superb expression! would like to share an anecdote behind this song… when Ashaji was asked about this song and memories related to this… she answered what SD Burman asked her to do… SD said, “…whisper in the initial lines raat akeli hai, and when the line jo bhi chahiye kahiye comes, imagine a bratty kid fooling around shouting in someone’s ears and doing Boooo”

would like to hear more songs from u :)
keep rocking…!!

Fret 'n' tune said

Hi Smitha,

Classic beautifully rendered. What more can i say?

You have lovely range. So let me take the liberty of making an unusual request.

Please do try the Kishore Kumar classic ‘Bhawre ki gunjan, ae mera dil’. Forget the movie, but has Randhir Kapoor(sigh) singing this song to Babita.

Would love to hear you take on the antaras in this one. You should just waltz through (pun intended, if you know the song)!
