Meesha Shafi’s rendition of Nazia Hassan’s iconic Boom Boom has been the talk of the weekend. The song was released as part of the Velo Sound Station produced by Bilal Maqsood and co-directed by Bilal and Yasir Jaswal.
Shafi, known for her powerful vocals and eddy style performed a dance club cover of Nazia Hassan’s 1982 pop hit. Her powerful voice with outstanding control and projection is heard reciting these evocative lyrics as the words waft down cloud-like on the oversize LED screen: “Can you feel this force, this sweet design. How our minds are together, how we are so aligned. Felt the hush in the world. The only sound I heard was the way you made my heart go Boom Boom.”
The singer received a lot of love and appreciation for her performance, to which she personally responded on social media. The singer, in response to a journalist, also shared that the melancholic undertone to the song was the sadness she has “carried for almost three years at being kicked when I was down by so many of my colleagues”.
