Coke Studio Nu.WAV’s inaugural six-song run comes to a close with “Diwanay Dil”, which pairs Karachi hip-hop duo Young Stunners with vocalist Sabaat Batin over production by Jokhay. So far, only a 14-second teaser is live, with the full video still to drop. The track is the sixth and final release of the platform’s first edition, following Dil, Rangeen, Maheya, Shabnam and Qasam.
Young Stunners — rappers Talha Anjum and Talhah Yunus — are the act that put Urdu rap on Pakistan’s mainstream map, with anthems like Afsanay and Gumaan, while Jokhay has been their producer since the duo’s earliest days. Sabaat Batin, meanwhile, is one of the fresh voices the Nu.WAV platform was built to spotlight, and her pairing with the duo makes the finale the edition’s most cross-generational collaboration.
Executive-produced by filmmaker Kamal Khan, Nu.WAV was launched in September as an artist-led space inside the Coke Studio Pakistan ecosystem — not a new season, but a platform where artists shape their own sound and visual world. Across six songs, it has handed the reins to Afusic, Asim Azhar, Hasan Raheem, Maanu, Shae Gill, Zoha Waseem and more. “Diwanay Dil” — also billed as “Ae Deewan e Dil” in the launch announcement — is the closing statement of that experiment, and the one that will decide how the first chapter is remembered.
