Coke Studio Nu.WAV releases Diwanay Dil with Karachi traffic video
Coke Studio Nu.WAV concludes its six-song journey with the release of Diwanay Dil featuring Young Stunners and Sabaat Batin in a video filmed beneath Karachi's Lilly Bridge.
Song creation process details
Producer Jokhay began the track by picking up a guitar to search for a feeling rather than a finished song. Drums and live instrumentation joined a few chords to form the foundation as the track gradually took shape. Jokhay chose to preserve the spontaneity of the original idea instead of overworking it during production. Sabaat Batin's chorus arrived with much the same immediacy as the initial instrumental sections developed in the studio.
Video shoot location and cast
Traffic has halted the entire city momentarily as the music video plays beneath Karachi's Lilly Bridge. Rickshaws idle alongside buses while a groom inches towards his wedding amidst increasingly unexpected characters caught in the gridlock. The street hosts a superhero, a gorilla, dancers and daily commuters together, transforming ordinary chaos into a spectacle bigger than life. Halfway into the picture, action shifts to a filming location where protagonists and antagonists stand ready for their lines until the cameras start rolling.
Executive producer comments on release
Kamal Khan, Executive Producer of Coke Studio Nu.WAV, stated that Jokhay built the song in a way that keeps moving. Talha, Talhah and Sabaat each contributed their unique energy while Yunus and Wali approached the film with great enthusiasm. The release feels very specific to the people who made it and serves as the right way to close Nu.WAV. Young Stunners helped take Urdu hip-hop from Pakistan's underground into the regional mainstream since forming in 2012.
