International singer-songwriter Subhi is back with her deeply evocative new single, “Yaadein”, released on December 3, 2025, in collaboration with Desi Trill.

A Song About Longing and Memory
“Yaadein” is an intimate reflection on love’s fading echoes, portraying how certain memories refuse to fade even as a loved one slips away. Subhi’s haunting vocals, paired with heartfelt lyrics, create a song that resonates universally — a story about loving someone who once meant everything but is no longer part of your life.
Co-written by Subhi and producer Aman Moroney, the track features a strings section recorded by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, giving the song cinematic depth. Subhi shared:
“‘Yaadein’ is about yearning and the ache of incomplete love. The strings lifted the song to another level, and I’m excited for the world to experience it.”
Critical Reception and Industry Praise
Shabz Naqvi, founder of Desi Trill, praised the single:
“Indie rock and soul have long held a special place in India’s music scene. With ‘Yaadein,’ Subhi delivers a powerful, heartfelt record whose emotion hits deep. It’s a song we’re proud to share, and one everyone can sing along to.”
Early reactions highlight the song’s universal appeal, with listeners praising Subhi’s ability to blend South Asian musical influences with Western indie and soul sensibilities.
Subhi’s Musical Journey
Born in New Delhi, Subhi initially pursued a career in finance, even working on Wall Street, before finding her true calling in Chicago’s indie music scene. Now based in Los Angeles, she merges her South Asian heritage with Western musical influences, creating a cross-cultural sound that is both deeply personal and widely relatable.
Her previous releases, including “Ishq Chalawa” and “Tehtul E Ishq”, along with tracks like “Gulzar” and “Khel”, have explored themes of identity, love, and transformation. “Yaadein” continues this narrative, establishing Subhi as a rising voice bridging cultures, genres, and emotions.

Hollywood Collaborations and Achievements
Subhi’s talents extend beyond music. She co-wrote and performed multiple tracks for the Smurfs animated film soundtrack, featuring original music by Rihanna. The film, directed by Chris Miller and co-directed by Matt Landon, premiered worldwide on July 18, 2025, with an early Los Angeles screening on July 13. This collaboration showcased her ability to create music that resonates across genres and cultures.
Why “Yaadein” Stands Out
Beyond the lush instrumentation and haunting melodies, “Yaadein” captures a universal human experience: love, loss, and lingering memories. Subhi’s storytelling — combined with Moroney’s cinematic production — ensures the track is emotionally impactful and musically captivating.
“Everyone around you keeps asking, ‘What happened? Where did he go?’ You were a witness to this love story, and now you’re left searching for answers. ‘Yaadein’ is about that haunting space between love and loss, where the heart still holds on even when the story feels incomplete.” — Subhi
Looking Ahead
With “Yaadein”, Subhi continues to expand her international footprint, blending South Asian roots with Western musical storytelling. Fans can expect more releases, live performances, and cross-cultural collaborations that bring her vision to life.
