Recently, Kristie co-wrote and co-produced the title song “Keh Dena” for Mangoes, the television series (2011). The song is originally a song by Pakistani pop legend, Alamgir and was released in the 1980’s. Kristie was asked to re-vamp the song and pay tribute to it; for Kristie it meant paying respect to Alamgir’s contribution to music as he was the first to introduce Pop music to Pakistan. 5 days into the release of the music video it got 100K hits and 50K shares. If that’s not impressive enough Keh Dena was also #1 in Canada under Film/Animation last week on YouTube and #2 most favourited under Film/Animation last week in Canada.
