While we’re awaiting new seasons of Pepsi Battle of the Bands and Coke Studio 11, which are just round the corner, it is interesting to note that Cornetto Pop Rock Season 3 is also on the way. Having introduced its first season in 2016 that featured live shows and music videos, artists who have been associated with the program include Umair Jaswal, Ali Azmat, Noori, Komal Rizvi, Quratulain Balouch (QB) and Qurram Hussain (Q from Josh) in the first part while Meesha Shafi, Momina Mustehsan, Ali Azmat and others came onboard the following year.
Though the line-up and format of the upcoming third season is yet to be announced, for now we know that two of the musicians featured in the lineup this year include Bilal Khan and Alicia Dais who have collaborated for a music video. The video features model-actor Mariyam Nafees who is also gearing up for Mehreen Jabbar’s upcoming TV project in which she essays the role of Feroze Khan’s sister Faryal.
“I’m featuring in Bilal Khan and Alicia Dais’s song,” Mariyam confirmed to Instep. “It’s a cute, fun, love song but what’s unique about it is that it’s a one-take video. Therefore, it’s going to be very interesting to watch. We had a lot of fun shooting it.”
Mariyam, who recently shot for the video, also informed that the video has been directed by Amaan Ahmed and it is expected to come out after Eid.
