KARACHI: Following the mixed responses the sixth Pakistan Super League (PSL) anthem received, the people of Pakistan have already called for Akcent to take charge of next year’s song.
The Romanian singer-songwriter had posted a photo of himself at a YouTube music event in Europe where he can be seen wearing a Pakistani kurta. The post caused a wave of reactions in the comments in which fans demanded he sings the PSL anthem.
To which the singer replied, “Hope so next time” as well as asking fans to make the topic trend on Twitter. “Make a trend on Twitter #AkcentWeWantPSL6song and tag @akcentofficial maybe we make it now,” he wrote.
Later, the Romanian singer looked really serious as he took to Twitter, asking users if he should be the vocals behind the PSL 7 or PSL 8 anthem.
