Kolkata, West Bengal (India), August 30, 2025: When JAWED launched The Outstares in 2019 with his debut single “Shirt Da Button,” few could have predicted the musical journey that would unfold. Six years later, his Kolkata-based independent music label is ready to drop “Duaa” on the 1st of September, a track that perfectly embodies what The Outstares has always stood for – giving fresh faces their moment to shine while crafting stories that touch the soul.
A Stage Set for New Beginnings
“Duaa” isn’t just another release; it’s a celebration of firsts. The music video introduces Susmita Palit as the lead actress, marking her debut in the entertainment world. But the surprises don’t end there. Behind the microphone, Kanchan Priya steps into the spotlight for her very first musical release, while singer Shuva Banik’s voice adds further depth to this song.
Completing this trio of voices is Tejaswi Raj, who has been the arranger for all previous Outstares tracks, bringing continuity to JAWED’s evolving musical narrative. Together, they create what promises to be a unique blend of fresh energy and established artistry.
“Every release from The Outstares tells a story, but ‘Duaa’ is special because it’s about new stories beginning,” shares JAWED, who continues to wear multiple hats as singer, producer, and creative visionary for every project under the label.
Building on Success
The anticipation for “Duaa” comes on the heels of The Outstares’ recent triumph with “Chookar Mere Man Ko.” Released on Valentine’s Day 2025, the romantic track struck a chord with audiences, collecting over 4 lakh views and cementing the label’s reputation for delivering emotionally resonant content with cinematic appeal.
What sets The Outstares apart in India’s crowded independent music scene is JAWED’s commitment to quality production. “Duaa” has been mastered by Stefano Ferracin from Italy, reflecting the label’s dedication to international standards while staying rooted in authentic storytelling.
Wide Reach, Deeper Connection
Music lovers won’t have to hunt for “Duaa” when it drops. The complete experience of music video and audio will be available across The Outstares’ YouTube and Dailymotion channels, while the audio track finds its home on every major streaming platform, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and JioSaavn.
From Kolkata to the world, “Duaa” represents The Outstares’ growing influence in independent music, proving that authentic stories and fresh talent still have the power to captivate audiences everywhere.
