On Wednesday, Annural Khalid, a rising star in Pakistan’s music scene, released her new song, Mumtaaz, in collaboration with Indian artist, Burrah. The track, produced in conjunction with Warner Music India, showcases Annural’s unique blend of chill pop and R&B, genres she has adeptly incorporated into her previous works. In the short and sweet number, Burrah longs for his lady love Mumtaaz, who he keeps searching for. The melancholic Punjabi lyrics are sung on a landscape of an even, mid-tempo beat.

The collaboration between Annural and Burrah on Mumtaaz was highly anticipated, as both artists bring their unique sound and perspectives to the project. Netizens swarmed to Burrah’s Instagram post with excitement. One user dubbed the two artists “a lethal combination” while another ruminated “a parallel universe where Punjab didn’t get divided”.

Known for her soulful compositions and distinctive voice, the Dil De Bol singer has been making waves both locally and internationally.

In January 2024, she was honoured as Spotify’s first female RADAR Artist in Pakistan, a testament to her growing influence in the music industry. Her track Trust Issues was featured on Spotify’s EQUAL Pakistan playlist, highlighting her versatility and appeal. In addition to her musical achievements, Annural’s presence in New York’s Times Square underscores her international recognition, reflecting her dedication and the global reach of her music.

Alongside Annural, Burrah is another talented artist involved in the release. The Chaanani singer has been a dynamic force in India’s indie music scene, blending hip-hop, alternative, and electronic influences. His style has resonated deeply with a wide audience, making him one of the most exciting and versatile names in contemporary Indian music. The singer’s recent tracks have garnered attention for their experimental approach and thought-provoking lyrics, establishing him as an influential figure in the underground scene.

The track is now out on all streaming platforms.
