Abrar expressed, “Music is spiritual. It comes from within a person. Sound can create such a strong impact; this is something you feel in music. You’ll hear something and get goosebumps. If you’re sad, a song can uplift your mood. In a way, it’s a cure. It has the power to induce nostalgic feelings and has a spiritual side to it that brings you closer to God ... There’s something extraordinary about music.”

Zeb performed on “Roshe” Zeb Bangash is described as a Kashmiri ode to loss. The song has an interesting history.

Zeb noted, “I decided to pursue music professionally when I saw how it enables you to connect with people. It’s a beautiful feeling. You can move people; you can talk to them. You sing a song and someone connects to it and you don’t even know about it. That’s really lovely for me. That someone is having their own relationship with a song sung in my voice.” said Zeb Bangash.

While Shuja Haider and Rachel Viccaji’s collaboration is a Punjabi ballad that is a tribute to the golden era of Lollywood.
