Ayisha Beebi by Salma

Ayisha Beebi arrived from the Ayisha Beebi album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2020. Kunnath Rasheed sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Salma's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Ayisha Beebi finds its musical expression here — Ayisha Beebi is where the film's heart beats loudest.

2020 marked the release of Ayisha Beebi, and Ayisha Beebi was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Some music is background. Ayisha Beebi demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The 3:25 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Ayisha Beebi has earned its place in the catalogue of Malayalam music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
