Annural Khalid and Burrah's 'Mumtaaz' is new Punjabi hit
On Wednesday, Annural Khalid, a rising star in Pakistan's music scene, released her new song, Mumtaaz, in collaboration with Indian artist, Burrah. The track, produced in conjunction with Warner Music India, showcases Annural's unique blend of chill pop and R&B, genres she has adeptly incorporated into her previous works.

Alex Warren defends Sabrina Carpenter support amid 'Manchild' vs. 'Ordinary' chart battle
Musician and internet personality Alex Warren has addressed backlash after showing public support for Sabrina Carpenter's latest single, 'Manchild,' which is currently rivaling his hit 'Ordinary' for the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. On June 9, Warren, 24, posted a Spotify link to 'Manchild' on his Instagram Stories, calling attention to Carpenter's new release. However, the post drew criticism from some fans who felt his endorsement was inappropriate, given that 'Manchild' is competing directly with 'Ordinary,' which has held the No. 1 spot for two weeks. Warren responded to the negativity on X (formerly Twitter), writing, 'Wait why is everyone so mean on here… music is music. I'm so blessed to be on the chart and I'm also so happy for all the wins in music. 'Manchild' is such a great record and I'm so honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Sabrina.' Wait why is everyone so mean on here… music is music. I'm so blessed to be on the chart and I'm also so happy for all the wins in music. Manchild is such a great record and I'm so honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Sabrina. Ordinary means so much to me and so many… — Alex Warren (@alexwaarren) June 9, 2025 He continued, 'Ordinary means so much to me and so many people and it's totally ok if it doesn't to you. I'm just happy to be here :).' Many fans rallied behind Warren, praising his mature response and voicing their support for both artists. Comments included calls to stop online harassment and to celebrate all musical achievements. Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' was released on June 5 through Island Records. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' inspired by his wife Kouvr Annon, was released earlier this year via Atlantic Records and has been a breakout success. As both singles battle for chart dominance, Warren's reaction has sparked discussions about competition, respect, and positivity in the music industry.
