Coke Studio Unveils Second Song from Season 15: “2AM” featuring Star Shah and Zeeshan Ali

Coke Studio Season 15

Coke Studio continues to captivate audiences with the release of the second song from Season 15, titled “2AM.” This soul-stirring track features the talented newcomers Star Shah and Zeeshan Ali, each bringing their unique musical prowess to the forefront.

Born Amir Shah from Okara in Punjab, Star Shah’s journey as an educator by day and a musician by night is deeply reflected in his music. “2AM” delves into themes of love, longing, and vulnerability, with Star Shah’s lovelorn lyrics resonating through the late-night mist. The song captures the essence of laying down defenses and offering oneself wholeheartedly to vulnerability, symbolized by the fateful hour of 2AM.

The atmospheric music of “2AM” is arranged and produced by Aksel Carlson & Thomas, and Coke Studio stalwart Xulfi, creating a mesmerizing auditory experience. Star Shah’s poignant rap adds a layer of fragility to the song, speaking of pain and purification amidst falsehood and pretense.

Director Awais Gohar’s narrative, complemented by Art Director Hashim Ali’s visuals, intricately weaves cultural motifs of endearment into the music video. From a husband braiding his wife’s hair to an elderly book-seller contemplating letting go, each frame captures the essence of human connection and introspection.

Responding to Star Shah’s lyrical lament is Zeeshan Ali, a classically trained composer and vocalist with roots tracing back to the spiritual rhythms of his upbringing. Zeeshan’s serene vocals, inspired by Sarfaraz Ali’s poetry, beautifully complement Star Shah’s verses, emphasizing the importance of love, time, and hope in life’s journey.

Zeeshan Ali’s mastery of languages, including Farsi, Punjabi, and Sindhi, adds depth and richness to “2AM,” further elevating the song’s emotional resonance. Coke Studio producer Xulfi’s visionary approach brings together these two remarkable talents, creating a musical dialogue that transcends boundaries and resonates deeply with listeners.

“2AM” is a testament to the power of music to evoke profound emotions and connect individuals across cultures and experiences. With its stirring melodies and heartfelt lyrics, the song promises to leave a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
