Makkanayitta Penne by Muhsin Bin Rasheed

Makkanayitta Penne arrived from the Makkanayitta Penne album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2020. Fenaz Sidheek sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The voice of Muhsin Bin Rasheed carries Makkanayitta Penne effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

The song dates from 2020, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Makkanayitta Penne is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

Running to 4:07, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Muhsin Bin Rasheed and Fenaz Sidheek, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
