Pehli Pehli Baar and Dheere Dheere is a beautiful confluence of soulstirring vocals by Darshan and Prakriti and also boasts interesting musical arrangements by Abhijit.`
Speaking about blending 'Pehli Pehli Baar' and 'Dheere Dheere', music composer Abhijit Vaghani says, `Dheere Dheere has a contemporary melody and Pehli Pehli Baar is an iconic retro track. I chose them because I wanted to balance out the eras and the lyrics matched perfectly well. Darshan is a heartthrob of current times, most of his songs are based on love and he has a romantic aura. Prakriti on the other hand has a sweet tonality. Both their voices suit each other really well.`
Says Darshan Raval, `Mixtape as a property is fun for every singer and it was a pleasure being a part of this and sharing stage with Prakriti. Abhijit Vaghani's seamless amalgamation of Pehli Pehli Baar and Dheere Dheere is commendable. I feel very lucky to be working on these tracks and I enjoyed every bit of it.`
Adds Prakriti Kakar, `It has been a beautiful experience. I've grown up crooning to these songs and performing them on Mixtape alongside Darshan Raval was dream come true. I can't wait to see everyone's reaction and I hope they enjoy this new mashup as much as we did creating it.`
