Tanha Tanha (Rangeela) - Cover
Tanha Tanha (Rangeela) - Cover Lyrics & Chords
Rangeela was a revolutionary album for Hindi film music….ARR’s first original Hindi score was for this film. I remember repeatedly listening to these songs those days :-)
Asha Bhonsle sang two popular numbers in this movie, “Tanha Tanha” and “Rangeela Re”. I recently went to see her perform live here in the Bay Area. She is 75 years old now, which means she was 60 when she sang this one! She was fabulous on her show as well!
Here is my humble attempt at this one.
Film: Rangeela (1995)
Song: Tanha Tanha
Music: A R Rahman
Lyrics: Mehboob
Original Singer: Asha Bhonsle
Cover by: Smitha
Mixed by: Smitha

Very well done Smitha. Was a very tight cover. Asha Bhosle songs suit you the best hands down (I know many have told u this)
From a mix perspective, your voice sounds a little muffled on this one. Not sure why. But the vocals are sitting better in this mix. Too much reverb though.
LIKED.

Very nicely sung Smitha…and liked your song selection! :) Asha songs are a favorite to me! :)
I don’t know much to comment on the technical stuff, but liked your tone. Indeed, it sounded like the young Ashaji’s singing.
Loved the line ‘Yeh zindagi to waise ek sazaa hai’….

Excellent energy in delivering this song, Smitha! Being one my my favs from the ARR-Ashaji combo, I thoroughly enjoyed it. You handled the higher registers very well. The very last “Baat hai” could be better. Minor offnotes can be overlooked considering how well you have carried the song.
LIKED it! :)

nicely done Smitha. You have that ‘Asha’ masti in your voice. Liked the high notes…
