Paham, a five-piece harana pop band, has released their debut album, titled “Paham”. The 12-track album explores themes of love, resilience, and hope, capturing the emotions and uncertainties of modern relationships. The album features tracks that are heartfelt chapters in a larger narrative, navigating the complexities of life and romance in the 21st century.
“The inspiration behind Paham comes from our personal experiences,” the band shares in a collective statement. “We wanted to offer listeners a window into our journey, to make them see the world through our eyes, and to share our story as Paham.”
From tender ballads to anthemic pop-rock numbers, Paham is a personal letter set to music: straightforward yet brimming with sincere emotions. Shiny on the surface but layered with depth, the album effectively captures the zeitgeist of today, complemented by some of the strongest, most infectious melodies this side of contemporary pop.
“Our songwriting process evolves alongside cultural shifts,” the band explains. “We stay attuned to the conversations people are having, so when we release music, our audience can truly connect with it. It’s a challenge for us to maintain consistency, as we want every track to offer something unique in sound and emotion.”
At its core, the album serves as a refuge for anyone who feels lost and vulnerable. “We want our songs to speak to listeners, no matter what they’re feeling—whether it’s sadness, insecurity, or moments of doubt. Our music is for everyone, wherever they are in their own emotional journey.”
One of the standout tracks on Paham is the reimagined version of the band’s viral hit “Hiraya,” now retitled “Hiraya (Haharanahin Kita).” The new rendition features a subtle orchestral arrangement that adds an elegant touch to the song, elevating it to a more romantic, wedding-worthy ballad.
“We wanted to give a more refined, graceful take on the song that felt like a celebration of love,” Paham explains. “It’s our way of making the song even more romantic and timeless.”
With over two million streams on Spotify and more than 11,000 videos shared on TikTok and Instagram, “Hiraya” has become an unstoppable anthem of love and longing for a lot of music fans.
Paham, the debut album from the band of the same name, is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment and Off The Record.
