Shae Gill teams up with Turkish singer Evdeki Saat for a new song ‘One Love’

Following her record-breaking collaborative song ‘Pasoori’ with Ali Sethi and her recent collision with Asim Azhar for ‘Bulleya’, Shae Gill is now collaborating with Turkish singer Evdeki Saat for a new song ’One Love’ for Coke Studio Global season 2.

One of the rising names of alternative pop, Saat first reached new heights with 2020’s ‘Uzunlar V1’, which has over 120 million Spotify streams to date.

Commenting on the collision song, he said, “I think it’s always exciting to be involved in Coke Studio as a musician. The project itself is so exciting. A global collaboration was something that I wanted to experience in my music career. I always love to connect with other musical cultures. Shae is a great representative of her culture, also a great musician and personality. I enjoyed the challenging process of our decision on making of the song.”

Gill — who made her debut in Coke Studio Pakistan in 2022, as part of the hugely successful global hit ‘Pasoori’ — said, “The inspiration for the track was based around the themes of romance, new love and the open expression of love. It was a pleasure collaborating with him because he’s such a gifted and kind person. On top of that I felt like we made a lot of sense musically and that just made this collaboration all the more exciting.”

‘Pasoori’ is the most streamed Pakistani song of all time on Spotify. It also reached #1 on the global viral chart. To date, the music video has been viewed close to 600 million times on YouTube.

The release of ‘One Love’ follows ‘Be Who You Are’, this year’s Coke Studio anthem by Grammy-award-winning American musician Jon Batiste featuring NewJeans, JID, Camilo and Cat Burns.

This is one of nine brand new multi-artist collision songs and exclusive sessions from each artist, which will be released to global music fans on all music platforms in June and July.

Also released is a new version of Imagine Dragons’ ‘Symphony’, created in partnership with the Inner-City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles, as well as ‘Zero’ a new collision between K-pop stars NewJeans and Atlanta rapper JID.

Sixteen of the biggest breakthrough music artists have been brought together from various countries for this season, including Diljit Dosanjh, Shreya Ghoshal, Jessie Reyez and Nasty C, among many more.

‘One Love’ is now available on YouTube and Spotify on Coke Studio Global.
