Saqib presents the first release of the year and it's called the Video Games EP. Inspired by a sound, a time, a place, a feeling, and a memory.
Chiller features that one theme you can never forget and a groove for days juxtaposed with a Pakistani love song featuring the lyrics and voice of Saqib. Taking you on a date on the streets of Lahore. Riding on the back of a motorcycle. Eating paan and sipping on rum and coke from a glass bottle, dancing the night away in a hidden speakeasy.
Vinny Jean is a cover of another timeless classic, this time featuring a crying synthesizer over the human voice. Bit-crushed and broken like the memories of that time, perfectly crystalized and preserved in 4K.
Video Games is part of the larger Songs For Ali project, a series of edits and remixes in tribute to Saqib's elder brother and biggest fan, Ali Malik, who passed away in 2018.
