Staying true to his promise, singer has released a 9-track ensemble catering to many moods

Staying true to his promise, Hasan Raheem has finally dropped his debut album Nautanki and fans are thrilled to see their favourite singer come out of his cocoon.

The 9-track ensemble features a bunch of vibey tracks filled with love, drama and angst. Its title track, Nautanki, juxtaposes a bunch of jazzy and pop elements and makes a case for impromptu music that renders one confused and amused.

The album also features a track titled Peanut Butter, which is a quintessential Hasan Raheem love song. It assures his dream girl, who’s also the peanut to his butter, that all his songs are for her, before moving onto deliver a catchy verse, followed by an elaborate pre-chorus with a bunch of hums and hoos. The song finishes with a bang and makes the most of Hasan’s ability to enthrall listeners with his bassy vocals.
