The journey of the 51-year-old as a solo artist has led him to explore new avenues while he dedicated his debut solo Naya Naya to his ‘amazing fans’ who’ve been there for him throughout his journey.
Legendary Pakistani writer and Bilal’s father Anwar Maqsood helped him get the lyrics and the video was directed by Murtaza Chaudhary.
Taking it to Instagram, the musician said “Naya Naya, my first solo single is dedicated to you guys. I’m talking to my amazing audience without whom I’m nothing. It’s a new life for me and I cannot deny the fact that you all are an integral part of my new journey”.
