The singer-songwriter Subhi has released Tehtul E Ishq, a very personal song that represents a major turning point in her career. The song is an artistic milestone since it is not just a sincere hymn to love but also her first in-depth exploration of Urdu lyrical.
“Tehtul E Ishq is extremely special to me because it’s my first song with extensive Urdu writing,” Subhi said in reference to the tune. I came up with the term itself; as “Tehtul” means “flow,” “Tehtul E Ishq” means “the flow of love.” The song examines the sensation of being totally engrossed in love, when the object of your affection determines what love is to you.
Additionally, the song is significant to Subhi’s artistic development since it marks her first foray into folk and Qawwali-inspired tunes.
The song is further enhanced by Subhi’s partnership with Rajasthani folk vocalist Sikander Khan. She remarked, “Sikander is an amazing vocalist with a humble and beautiful soul,” expressing her respect for her fellow musician. His voice added a great deal of depth and color to the piece, and he connected with Tehtul E Ishq right away.
Subhi says the experience of filming the music video for the song in the charming city of Jodhpur will never be forgotten. An immersive musical environment was created during the filming by bringing together a group of musicians, including a dholak player. She remembered, “It was really special—we connected and jammed together.”
Tehtul E Ishq solidifies Subhi’s distinct position in the world by following her successful collaboration with DJ Khaled and Cardi B on Higher Love.
