Rochak Kohli Essentials

There’s an understated quality to Rochak Kohli’s music, but it’s just as impactful as the work of his more splashy contemporaries. As this selection of his most-loved Hindi film songs demonstrates, the composer, lyricist and singer—who started crafting movie numbers back in 2012—is adept at infusing depth, sincerity and melody into seemingly simple love ballads and romantic duets. With a penchant for acoustic instruments, Kohli handles all his material with a rare sensitivity and softness, whether he’s fashioning fresh tunes or recreating folk or qawwali classics.
