Production

After Ali Hamza and Zohaib Kazi departure, Rohail Hyatt returned as the producer of Coke Studio Season 12. Speaking at the launch of Coke Studio Season 12,[8] Rohail Hyatt said:

In a world where there are multitudes of information, sounds and conversations to choose from, Coke Studio wishes to offer a space where one can contemplate the reverberations of a single guitar strum or the notes of a few piano keys. Traveling down the ladder of time, from the courts of the Delhi Sultanate and the music studios of pre-revolution Iran, through mountains and valleys, much like the water that trickles down from a natural spring, music came to Coke Studio's canvas. At its core, Coke Studio remains an offering, a space where we share what has come to us.

— Rohail Hyatt, producer Coke Studio
