Pakistani singer Atif Aslam made a big moment at London’s O2 Arena recently when he performed in front of thousands of fans and announced that a new album is coming soon.
During the concert, Atif took a pause to speak from the heart. He told the crowd about a boy from Lahore who had very little money but was surrounded by great friends. Those friends used to share their lunch with him and give him rides to college. He asked the crowd who could have guessed that same boy would one day stand on the stage of one of the world’s most famous music venues.
He dedicated his performance of the song Jal Pari to everyone who supported him during the early days of his music career and to fans looking forward to his next release.
Atif announced his fourth studio album, his first since 2008. He did not share the album’s name or other details, but said it would arrive in the first week of August.
The announcement sent fans into a frenzy, both inside the arena and across social media. After more than 16 years, Pakistanis are finally getting a full studio album from one of their most beloved voices.
Atif closed his heartfelt speech by telling his fans he could not thank them enough.
