Asim Azhar drops his 'most honest album yet'

Titled 'Asim Ali', the album marks a new chapter in the singer’s artistic journey

Asim Azhar has finally released his first independent album after weeks of suspense, calling it his “most honest album yet.” To celebrate the milestone, he shared a heartfelt snippet with his mother on social media.

“This album has songs that were written in my most vulnerable & honest state,” he wrote on Instagram. “I never thought you guys would listen to it because I was always made to think I had to do a certain kind of music to stay relevant. But with time I realised that music is nothing if it's not honest.”

The album dropped last night with 10 tracks, Asim Ali, Khabbay Sajjay, Na Ja, Changes, Lost n Found, Sugar Rush, Jind Mahi, Pari, U Got This, and Strangers, including a collaboration with Talha Anjum. All songs are written and composed by Asim, produced by Kumail Abbas, mixed by Jokhay, and mastered by Rooshan.

Azhar also shared that the project set a new national record for the most pre-saves for a Pakistani album. He reflected on how he couldn’t sleep from excitement and thanked fans for letting him share his music and art with the world.

Ahead of the release, he deleted all posts from his Instagram and shared a single “Khuda Hafiz” story, causing fans on X (formerly Twitter) to worry that he might be quitting music. Soon after, he revealed his reinvention as ‘Asim Ali’ and announced the album.

Asim Ali marks the singer’s first fully independent release after years of hit singles and major-label collaborations.
