Shreya Ghoshal- Tere Bina

This isn't actually from a Bollywood film  but it's the latest single from playback singer  Shreya Ghoshal. Her Bollywood singing credits include Dola Re Dola from Devdas, Aashiq Banaya Aapne from the film of the same name, Saansein Ghulne Lagi from Aetbaar,  Teri Yaado Mein from The Killer, Jab Tak Hai Jaan's Saans and Daata Tu from Tiger Zinda Hai.
Tere Bina was released on 5th Jan. Violinist and music composer Deepak Pandit did the music.  It's a nice, relaxing song with a melancholy air. It's in "thumri" style which is a genre of Indian classical music.
