Velo Sound Station’s third season has landed with a bang, and it’s clear this isn’t just another music show. This season feels fresh, bold, and full of surprises under the expert direction of Bilal Lashari — the man behind Pakistan’s blockbuster Maula Jatt. If you love music that pushes boundaries and showcases real talent, this season is for you.
One of the season’s standout moments is the track ‘Shayar’, where fiery rapper Faris Shafi teams up with soulful qawwals Zain and Zohaib. At first, you might think rap and qawwali could clash — but here, they blend beautifully. The gentle, spiritual voices of the qawwals perfectly balance Faris’s sharp, rapid-fire verses. The music video adds cinematic flair, with Faris walking through a crowd that treats him like a hero and a dramatic rap battle scene that you have to see to believe. It’s proof that rap in Pakistan is alive and thriving.
Then there’s ‘Dil Ruba’, a sweet and heartfelt song by Hasan Raheem and Annural Khalid. Unlike fast-paced hits, this song takes its time, telling a tender love story with real emotion. The music video is imaginative and thoughtful, showing everything from flying rickshaws to scenes of everyday struggles. For Hasan, who first gained fame singing casually on the streets, this is a big moment — a step into a more mature sound that still keeps him relatable. Annal, too, shines bright in her breakthrough role.
And if you’re looking for something fun and playful, ‘Gila’ by Shae Gill and Abdul Hannan delivers just that. Shae, known worldwide for her smash hit ‘Pasoori,’ shows a different side here — lighthearted, lively, and full of chemistry with Abdul. The video bursts with colorful choreography and carefree vibes, a reminder that music can be joyful and spontaneous, even when the lyrics talk about emotional ups and downs.
Overall, Velo Sound Station Season 3 isn’t just a music show — it’s a celebration of Pakistan’s rich and diverse musical culture. From the hard-hitting rap verses to the soul-soothing qawwali and the catchy pop tunes, this season offers something for everyone. And with Bilal Lashari’s visionary touch, it’s clear this platform is setting new standards for how music is made and shared in Pakistan.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for great new music, Velo Sound Station Season 3 is well worth your time.
