Meesha: Awareness. Hard-hitting issues. It s already in the works and we can expect this next year.

Meesha: AR Rahman. I would love love love for the universe to make that happen. Another that I wished for has already come true. The song is in the album, somebody i ve been a huge fan of all my life, somebody international. No spoilers yet.
Last weekend belonged to Meesha Shafi.
The popstar had two back-to-back releases on two major platforms, the iconic
Coke Studio in its 2020 season and, the newest kid on the music-show block taking the scene by storm,
Velo Sound Station. Both songs caused quite a stir online but, most notably, it was her interpretation of the late Nazia Hasan’s
Boom Boom that proved to be a just a tad more popular.
Na Tutteya Ve
Coke Studio,
Na Tutteya Ve [I Will Not Break], is a feminist anthem sung by all of the women who are featured this season. This includes, other than Meesha, the likes of Fariha Parvez, Sanam Marvi, Sehar Gul Khan, Wajiha Naqvi, Zara Madani and Nimra Rafiq who is back on backing vocals. The song uses the perspective of working class women to address the everyday harassment and denigrations that pretty much every woman in Pakistan, nay the world, has faced at some point or another.
