It’s the kind of hook that makes you lean in and press repeat without thinking twice. “99 Problems” balances spirit with accessibility. There’s a rawness in Shahri’s delivery, a confidence that speaks of facing down obstacles and pushing through. But instead of being weighed down by the idea of “problems,” the song flips it into empowerment, making the listener feel like they’re part of a collective experience. You don’t have to speak the language fluently to catch the vibe, the track’s heartbeat is universal. Chart success in Austria and Switzerland proves that Shahri has already captured a regional audience, but this record feels destined to travel even further.

With a hook that refuses to be confined by language and a spirit that thrives on connection, Shahri’s sound is carving out its place in the global music conversation.
