In her latest single “Intezaar,” Subhi captures the bittersweet essence of long-distance love, wrapping listeners in a warm, emotive soundscape that resonates with anyone who has ever yearned for someone far away. Based on a very personal feeling, this track marks a departure from Subhi’s earlier work, leaning into a pop sound that feels both contemporary and deeply personal.

Produced by Aman Moroney, who also co-wrote the song, “Intezaar” combines a thoughtful mix of acoustic and electronic elements. The song starts with a gentle acoustic guitar, establishing an intimate, reflective tone that feels almost like a conversation between two people separated by miles. Subhi’s vocals are soft, perfectly capturing the vulnerability and hope inherent in her lyrics. As the song progresses, electric guitars, synths, and subtle string arrangements are layered in, creating a richer, more textured sound that mirrors the complexities of love stretched thin by distance.
The lyrics of “Intezaar,” penned by Subhi and Moroney, are simple but poignant. It paints a vivid picture of longing and the quiet strength it takes to endure separation, as each of us might already know. There’s a quiet resilience in Subhi’s voice as she sings about the trials of waiting, her delivery filled with a mix of melancholy and hope that feels incredibly genuine. You can hear the weight of every word, making it impossible not to feel the song’s emotional pull.

The music video adds another layer to the story Subhi is telling. Directed by Aman Moroney, who’s also behind the production and arrangement of the track, the video is far from a typical pop setup. It’s a beautifully shot visual that complements the raw emotion of the song. We’ve got Eshani Patel, a choreographer and dancer, who adds an unexpected layer to the storytelling. Her moves are sharp yet expressive, bringing this energy that pulls you deeper into the narrative. What’s clever here is the interplay between Subhi’s calm presence and Eshani’s dynamic movement. This contrast works brilliantly, it’s like watching two sides of the same coin. If the song alone didn’t get to you, the video definitely will.
Intezaar is an evocative piece showcasing Subhi’s ability to convey deep emotions through her music. It’s a song that doesn’t just speak about love and distance but makes you feel every moment of that experience. This track is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever had to wait for something, or someone they love.
