Hamnawa Select Apr '25
These are our selections for new and notable music for April 2025. On Spotify & YouTube. Music videos from this playlists are also on Hamnawa TV.
Promise that we do actually try to publish these on time.
Some notes:
The Karachi progressive music collective Miracle Mangal is back with a new album: MM07. Miracle Mangal returns after 3 years, but is notable because this is where big name producers such as Umair and Rovalio first found their footing. This album features in addition to those two names Shahmeer Raza and MALIK.. Vocalists include Annural Khalid, AHSAN & CGF. Worth your time to see the developing edge of Pakistan’s electronic music.
Meesha’s new album. After many years of seeing Meesha it’s still strange to realize that this is in fact her debut album. We know her of course from her early years with Overload and then through multiple hits on Coke Studio and Pepsi Battle of the Bands. This is in addition to singles through the year.
We feature a song by Noman Asmet, which is in Burukshaki and is accompanied by music video inspired by Hunzai folklore.
Other new songs from Annural Khalid, Ali Suhail, Haroon.
As usual more DHH releases. DHH stands for Desi Hip Hop, which was a collective term for South Asian rap music, but with the changing times we may soon see DHH mean mostly Indian music. Terminology changes are perhaps due to occur. We are already seeing repercussions in the Pakistani music industry due to the war.
