Welcome to the ultimate Eid playlist curated by the eclectic personalities behind Sounds of Pakistan! From procrastinators turned music critics to HR managers who moonlight as dance floor connoisseurs, our team brings you a selection guaranteed to elevate your festive vibes.
KASHMIR – Kaghaz Ka Jahaz
First up, we have “Kagaaz ka Jahaz” recommended by none other than Arbab, our resident full-time procrastinator and part-time background singer. Despite missing more deadlines than we can count (we’ve lost track at three), Arbab insists this track is perfect for any celebration. With lyrics urging you to toss your worries aside and embrace life’s joys, it’s the ultimate anthem for letting loose.
Nazia Hassan – Boom Boom
Next on the list is “Boom Boom” by the legendary Nazia Hassan, handpicked by Laviza, our HR manager (no HR slander, please – she’s the good kind). Laviza swears by this ’90s classic, claiming it’s the secret sauce for kicking off your day with a bang. With its infectious beats and timeless lyrics, it’s a surefire way to get the party started.
Shamoon Ismail – Rung
For those moments when you need to unwind after a day of festivities, Abeera, our Head of Accounts and self-proclaimed Jungkook bias, recommends “Rang” by Shamoon Ismail. According to Abeera, this track is like a warm hug from your favorite chai spot, perfect for winding down with your crew after a long day. In a word? It’s “giving.”
Ali Sethi x Shae Gill – Pasoori
Last but certainly not least, we have “Pasoori,” the international sensation that needs no introduction. As Areeba, our resident cat mom with a penchant for random “meows,” will tell you, this track has it all – Coachella performances, international acclaim, and an irresistible hook that’ll have you humming for days. Plus, with Areeba’s frequent office renditions, who needs to shell out for YouTube?
So, there you have it – the ultimate Eid playlist straight from the team behind Sounds of Pakistan. Whether you’re looking to dance ’til dawn or unwind with friends and family, these tracks are guaranteed to hit the right note. Eid Mubarak and happy listening!
