When the early version of Zoha Zuberi’s single “Kuch Kehna Chahta Huun” queued up on my playlist, the sound and Urdu poetry demanded something special for the cover art. It couldn’t be just another car on a road; it needed to be a ride through the intangible.

So here we have it, an old-school beetle cruising not on asphalt, but through a dreamscape of mists and muted blues. It’s decked out in a garland of flowers, like it’s on its way to a celebration of the unspoken, the very essence of “Kuch Kehna Chahta Huun.” The headlights cut through the fog, a metaphor for the clarity that Zoha’s song seeks amidst the haze of half-formed thoughts and feelings we’ve all tried to voice.

This album cover is a snapshot of that moment right before the words come out, the pause before the confession, the breath before the plunge. It’s an artistic nod to the journey Zoha takes us on – where the music speaks for all the things we can’t quite say, in a language that’s felt rather than heard.
