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.
