KK's Unreleased Song 'Humein Asha Hai' Launches Today – A Soulful Call to Hope and Healing
Recorded in 2008, but held close all these years, the song was finally released today — a powerful offering of hope, healing, and love from a voice that shaped generations. Launched purposefully on International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (World Drug Day), the track speaks directly to those battling emotional isolation, substance abuse, and silent suffering.
With stirring vocals and a message that transcends time, Humein Asha Hai is being celebrated not just as a song, but as a tribute, a movement, and a reminder of KK's unmatched ability to connect with the soul.
'KK gave his voice to this song not for money or fame — but because he believed in what it stood for,' said the team behind the release. 'This is his gift to those who feel lost. It's a message that you're not alone.'
Crafted by composer & lyricist Rahul R and music producer Santosh Nair, Humein Asha Hai pairs KK's evocative voice with poignant lyrics and delicate instrumentation — including a soulful flute section by Paras Nath. The song was recorded at Joshua Studio Inc, Mumbai and the sound engineering was helmed by Saibu Simon.
At its heart, the song speaks of darkness and recovery, sorrow and strength — mirroring the challenges faced by youth today.
The song was released by Shruti Music School UK, a music institution known for nurturing cross-cultural and conscious music. Based in the UK and India, the school took on the responsibility of completing and launching the track with integrity and vision, turning it into a platform for awareness and engagement.
In a unique technological leap, the launch also marks the first-ever song drop on Musecoinx, a blockchain-powered platform aimed at deepening artist-fan relationships. Musecoinx enables fans to participate in song campaigns in meaningful ways — emotionally and financially — through Web3 tools. It brings artists and fans together in one ecosystem where community, engagement, and shared success are at the core.
'India has no shortage of loyal fans. What we've lacked is structured engagement. This platform helps us take KK's message forward in a way that involves the fans — they're not just listening; they're part of the legacy.'
The song's release has ignited a wave of emotion across social media, with fans calling it 'goosebumps-inducing,' 'a reminder of what real music sounds like,' and 'KK's voice bringing light once again.'
As the world listens to Humein Asha Hai today, it becomes clear — this is more than a song. It is a bridge between past and present, pain and recovery, memory and movement.

Kishore Kumar AI Version Of Saiyaara Takes Internet by Storm; Fans Call It More Soulful Than Original
Last Updated: Kishore Kumar's AI-generated version of Saiyaara goes viral online. Fans call it nostalgic, soulful—some even say it's better than the original. The chart-topping title track of Saiyaara has already cemented its place as a musical phenomenon. But now, a fan-made AI-generated version featuring the legendary voice of Kishore Kumar has added a nostalgic twist to the viral wave. Set against visuals of Rimjhim Gire Sawan, the AI cover has taken social media by storm, sparking debate over creativity, ethics, and authenticity in the age of artificial intelligence. The edit juxtaposes Kishore Kumar's recreated vocals with the classic rainy Mumbai visuals of Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee from the 1970s hit—creating a surreal time-travel moment for music lovers. Somebody made AI based Kishore Kumar version of Saiyaara title songGood effort with retro style rhythm arrangement.. sounds better than original.. yet not even 10% of the power, energy, vibrancy, voice, singing of what KK cud have achieved.. — Keh Ke Peheno (@coolfunnytshirt) August 2, 2025 Online, the video has stirred both admiration and skepticism. 'This is so soothing, at first I thought the Saiyaara song was rewritten," commented one user on X. Another gushed, 'The edit is really good, even better than the original." A third added bluntly, 'India literally lost real creators in music industry." But not everyone was sold. While many applauded the technical finesse, die-hard Kishore Kumar fans pushed back, calling the AI voice a pale imitation of the original. 'Only true Kishore fans will not go 'wow' on this video effort. The original song + the video is a masterpiece. None can replace them even if may seem perfect fit for some noobs," one post read. Another critic added, 'Good effort with retro-style rhythm arrangement… sounds better than original… yet not even 10% of the power, energy, vibrancy, voice, singing of what KK could have achieved." This online buzz comes on the heels of Saiyaara's historic global run. The Faheem Abdullah-sung ballad recently became the first Hindi song to top Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart, and also entered Spotify's Top 10 worldwide—a rare feat for a Bollywood track. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film has crossed ₹250 crore at the box office, and the song—composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami—has played a pivotal role in its cultural dominance. view comments First Published: August 03, 2025, 19:25 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
