The first Coke Studio Nu.Wav song is finally out — and the internet has thoughts​

'Dil' hasn't exactly won over everyone's hearts, especially since many people seem to be comparing Nu.Wav with the original Coke Studio.

Ever since Coke Studio announced its new music platform Nu.WAV, which allows artists, producers and storytellers to define their own sound, communities and audiences, fans have been waiting with bated breath for the first track to drop.

Well, it’s finally out — and people have really strong feelings about it.

Titled ‘Dil,’ the first song features overnight Pakistani sensations Afusic and Ali Soomro of ‘Pal Pal’ fame and newcomer Zoha Waseem, who shot to viral fame last year with ‘Majboor’.

The heart of ‘Dil’ beats with its catchy catchphrase, “Jeenay ka maza hai Dil de ke (the joy of living is in giving your heart).” The track opens with Afusic appearing seemingly untethered — at one point even floating in the air — while lamenting the experience of falling in love.

In the second half of the song, Waseem mesmerises with her signature soothing vocals, which have the potential to become the next viral hit for Instagram and TikTok reels.

Directed by Kamal Khan, the song delivers an intentionally retro-inspired visual feast. While Nu.WAV is all about showcasing the next generation of artists, the video for ‘Dil’ plays with an ironic contrast — with old-school televisions and purple neon lights. It perfectly showcases the tunes of modern love (and heartbreak) played through a vintage lens.

As expected, the internet had thoughts. Many seemed to be equating Nu.Wav with Coke Studio instead of treating it as a separate platform with a separate sound.

Ever since Coke Studio Nu.WAV announced Asim Azhar in its lineup, the singer’s fans have waited with bated breath for his new track — and it’s finally out.

The music video for Azhar’s ‘Maheya’, featuring rising talent AARYAN, was released on Friday. It’s a mournful plea from a lover who has lost everything to his beloved.

It marks the platform’s third offering, following ‘Dil’ by Afusic, Zoha Waseem and Ali Soomro last month, and ‘Rangeen’ by Hasan Raheem and Izzchugtai, which added its own distinct flavour to the lineup.

The music video for ‘Maheya’ opens with a child impatiently sitting in a chair whilst his face is painted with what look like mime colours. His father gently instructs him to stay still. When a man asks whether the boy is ready, the father confirms that he is.

The camera then pans towards Azhar, who is levitating, cross-legged in a meditative pose.
