The Alfaaz remix just got even bigger. British singer James Arthur will sing the English vocals on Alan Walker’s new version of the hit by Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib, it has been announced on Instagram.
The news solves the mystery Walker left fans with after his visit to Pakistan this month. Having finished the first version of the remix in Lahore, the Norwegian DJ and producer teased that “someone you might recognise wants to sing the English part”, without saying who.
Who Is James Arthur?
Arthur, from Middlesbrough in England, won The X Factor in 2012 and went on to global success with songs including ‘Impossible’ and ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’. His voice now joins an Urdu-Punjabi track that has already travelled far beyond Pakistan.
How A ‘Walker’ In A Music Video Started It All
The collaboration began with a playful moment online. Watching the Alfaaz music video, Walker spotted a masked man walking behind the singers in an outfit strikingly similar to his own trademark look. “Why is there a Walker in the video. Beautiful video btw,” he wrote.
