In 2020, Qureshi released his single featuring the versatile Natasha Noorani, who showcases her knack for crafting a turn of phrase, and Summer is full of them. “We are more than blunders” sticks out, and the shrug with which she sings “wouldn’t even mind if we don’t survive” is perfect. And although there are the occasional clunky lines – “spite inlaid with contrasting insecurities” – Noorani manages to beat these syllables into the shape of the melody, and so even these somehow work. Qureshi’s production is, as usual, stellar, melding alternative pop and RnB to great effect. Bouncy synths, groovy percussion, and pitch-shifted vocals result in a weird but mesmerizing summer jam.
In 2020, Qureshi released two EP's "Acha Vol.1 and Vol.2"
In 2020, Qureshi released LSD featuring Shamsher Rana - A bassline that seems to sing, synth textures that reverse soon after they're played, morphed vocals, sudden downpours of melodic runs and arpeggios, brass-hooks and a driving beat – Islamabad producers Talal Qureshi and Shamsher Rana pick a joy-radiating sonic palette and dial its effects to eleven with the composition on their collaborative track 'LSD'.

Talal released the single "PAISA" featuring R&B, Pop Singer Songwriter - Hasan Raheem. Released alongside a playful music video created by Arham Ikram and RohanYV, the vibrant track boasts a spirited trap-inspired beat, genre-bending chords which lays the foundation for Raheem’s slick multi-lingual delivery.
