Hasan Raheem softens down his song 'Obvious'

Count on Hasan Raheem to fuel the fire of hopeless romantics with his warm vocals. The singer took to Instagram on Tuesday to share yet another unplugged version, this time for his track Obvious. "I keep getting trapped in a snare. There's joy in finding a way out," he wrote, referencing the lyrics.

While Hasan thanked his fans for replaying the track, his enthusiasts thanked him for blessing social media with his singing. Some stormed the comments section with hearts as others gave into their melancholic moods. "This version is everything," a user wrote. "You have to post more unplugged songs!" another urged.

In January, the 26-year-old singer serenaded his followers with an unplugged version of Maand, his collaborative track with Bayaan and Rovalio. "We put a lot of love into this track, and you gave it so much more. Thank you so much," he penned.

On the work front, Hasan released an upbeat track, Radha, in late December. As one might expect, the song was instantly dubbed a "bop" by fans. "Gosh, Hasan Raheem is always making bops! Like the Pakistani music scene is bopping! So glad to have found these artists, because I was never really a fan of Pakistani songs," a YouTube user wrote.

As for those who cannot get enough of the Wishes singer's melodies, he is gearing up to perform at the Moin Khan Academy in Karachi on Sunday.

December also saw a special collaboration between him and Jo Tu Na Mila singer Asim Azhar. Titled YOU, the track earned a pastel-themed music video that visualises the softness of the song. Although the beat possesses an ear-friendly thrum, the lyrics do not tone down the passion that comes with true love.

The two artists, who are dressed in light, casual wear, also follow gentle quirks in line with the melody of the song. Even fans on Instagram were quick to pour in some praise. "Both of you look super cute," complimented a user. Another user even compared the two singers to Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked, owing to the outfit choices.

One term especially made a frequent appearance across the comments section. "A pookie-core music video, this was!" a fan remarked. The word didn't slip past the artists' notice. "How many pookies will you kill?" Hasan hilariously commented. "A pookie will come from every house," Asim indulged.
