This is a call to all Directioners (now with greying hair?) in hibernation—our wildest imagination has come true! Zayn Malik is singing in Urdu, and that too with our very own rising sensation, the band ‘Aur.’ Here’s what fans are saying about the most unexpected collaboration!
Fans can now revel in what is the most unexpected yet happening collab of the year! The whispers of Zayn Malik and AUR collaboration were after all true. The short clip shared on Wednesday unveiled a sneak peek into the magic brewing in the studio, leaving supporters on the edge of their seats, eager for the musical masterpiece that lies ahead. Apparently, Zayn Malik and the rising stars of Pakistan, AUR, were joining forces for an explosive collaboration on the track “Tu Hai Kahan.”
Aur The Band is a Pakistani band formed in 2020 by Usama Ali, Ahad Khan, and Raffey Anwar who have become a quick favorite among Pakistani music fans. Here is our exclusive interview with them. Singers, composers, and producers of the viral fan-favorite song “Tu Hai Kahan”, the song that has crossed 47 million views on YouTube, trended on Instagram reels, videos and secured a top spot on many listeners’ playlists in Pakistan and beyond. Despite the absence of official confirmation, the sudden news has turned out to be true! Perhaps Zayn wanted to do something different for his 31st birthday, marking his very first Urdu and Pakistani collaboration.
Was This Zayn Attempting To Connect With His Roots? Proof Life Can Exceed Our Imaginations & Dreams?
Who would have thought that a rising Pakistani boy band, right at the beginning of their ascent, would have the chance to collaborate with the world’s most popular singer, the member of the one of the former biggest boy band in the world? Our boys from AUR are dressed in serious style, wearing all-white and cream jackets. Meanwhile, Zayn is seen in a monochrome leather look, showcasing his blonde-tipped hair in what appears to be his own personal studio.
We have so many questions – Was this, perhaps, the song that resonated with Zayn the most as he grappled with his love life? Or did he simply want to connect with his Pakistani roots? Well, this serves as a lesson to never say never. All the now-adult, hibernating Directioners—could we have really seen this coming 10 years down the road? This was the most crazy fantasy of ours, and whoa, it’s true today! Anything really can happen.
The collaboration is proof that life can exceed your imagination and work in mysterious ways. It is commendable and awe-inspiring that AUR, being one of the few Pakistani musicians (and young ones at that), has achieved such a significant collaboration early in their career. We mean, it’s none other than Zayn Malik, the former member of the mammoth boy band One Direction, now a top international singer with unbeatable collaborations and music records.
Let’s Get Straight Into How Listeners Are Reacting!
There’s talks about his Urdu accent, a bit of change in the song’s vibes and perhaps whether Zayn could do justice to the original song. Our two cents? Can we realistically expect him to speak like a native? It’s a commendable attempt, and the fact that he was willing to collaborate with AUR and reconnect with his roots should be reason enough.
We’re crossing our fingers that this shakes up the Pakistani music scene, creating more opportunities, avenues, and epic collaborations! But hey, not everyone is throwing confetti. Some are unabashed with interesting thoughts and quirks. Let’s dive in and see what people are saying!
