Mika’s Punjabi hip-hop in Gaddi moudan ge sounds good since it gets the catchy hooks right, while Warrant tries a similar hip-hop pattern with poorer results. Jaggi Singh’s title song has an...
View ArticleShaitan (Music review), Hindi – Prashant Pillai, Ranjit Barot, Amar Mohile,...
Prashant Pillai’s Bali is trippy, but perhaps goes overboard. He gets his groove in Nasha and O Yaara – eminently tuneful, both! It’s also easy to identify Amit Trivedi in his adequately-grungy...

Gentleman‘s catchy chorus hook is what makes it tick; enjoyably massy even as the overall tune around it fumbles aimlessly. Champakamala is typical Thaman material! Beautifully orchestrated simple,...

Super Singh (Music review), Punjabi – Jatinder Shah
Hawa vich‘s buoyant tune gets a mighty bump from Diljit’s, and in particular Sunidhi Chauhan’s, fantastic vocals, and the lively folk rhythm. Diljit rocks the joyous melody in Kalliyan kulliyan, though...
