Arooj Aftab And Meesha Shafi Submit Tracks For Grammy Awards 2025
Pakistani singers Arooj Aftab and Meesha Shafi have officially submitted their new tracks for Grammy Awards 2025 consideration, continuing Pakistan’s growing influence on the global music scene.
Known for her soulful blend of classical and contemporary sounds, Arooj Aftab gained international recognition after winning a Grammy in 2022 for Mohabbat. Since then, she has consistently pushed creative boundaries, merging Sufi-inspired vocals with modern instrumentation.
Meesha Shafi, on the other hand, is no stranger to musical experimentation. With her distinct voice and powerful stage presence, she has built a unique identity that bridges pop, folk, and world music. Her submission for this year’s Grammys is said to highlight female empowerment and cultural expression, themes that have long shaped her artistry.
Earlier this year, Arooj Aftab received two Grammy nominations for her work that beautifully blended Urdu lyrics with ambient soundscapes, earning her global praise for representing Pakistan on one of music’s biggest platforms.
Key highlights from the Grammy submissions:
- Arooj Aftab submitted her latest single from the upcoming album, blending jazz and Sufi tones.
- Meesha Shafi’s entry reportedly celebrates South Asian rhythms and women’s empowerment.
- Both artists collaborated with international musicians for cross-genre innovation.
- Submissions were made under categories including Global Music Performance and Best World Music Album.
- The official Grammy nominations will be announced later this year.
Music critics note that Pakistan’s evolving soundscape has started gaining long-overdue international respect. Artists like Arooj and Meesha are helping reshape global perceptions of South Asian music, from traditional roots to bold modern fusion.
As the Grammy Awards 2025 approach, both singers remain hopeful that their music will once again put Pakistan on the world stage, celebrating art that transcends borders and languages.
