One of the leading musical band in Pakistan — Strings — has just released the last track of their new album Strings Thirty that marks the band’s three-decade long career. Titled Raat Shabnami, the song explores a fresh musical space with a futuristic video that shows us glimpses of the band’s glorious past.
Written by Anwar Maqsood, the lyrics are close to signature Strings style with a funky psychedelic beat. However, the video directed by Yasir Jaswal gives serious Atomic Blonde vibes. Mahenur Haider looks very much like Charlize Theron along with duo-tone effect dominated by red and blue tones. The colors signify a Utopian setting (Karachi in 2088 to be exact) feeding the viewers passion, love and nostalgia and giving the song a charm that Strings has always retained.
