ਸਿੱਧੂ ਮੂਸੇਵਾਲਾ

 ਜਾਗਦੀ ਜ਼ਮੀਰ ਸੀ ਤੇ ਸੱਚ ਹੀ ਸੀ ਬੋਲਦਾ, ਸ਼ੇਰ ਜਿਹਾ ਜੇਰਾ ਸੀ,  ਕਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਡੋਲਦਾ, ਮਿੱਟੀ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜ ਕੇ ਸੀ ਉਹ ਕਾਰ ਕਮਾਂਵਦਾ, ਮਾਰੇ ਤੇ ਨੀਂ ਮਰਿਆ ਉਹ ਅਮਰ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਵਦਾ, ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਚੰਗੇ ਬੰਦੇ ਦੀ ਰੱਬ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਲੋੜ ਐ, ਬਾਕੀ ਇਸ ਦੇਸ਼ ਚ ਗਦਾਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਥੋੜ ਐ।

Diljit Dosanjh - G.O.A.T. (Review)

I haven’t done any review in recent times since I am a bit busy these days but my brother reminded me to get back to my stuff especially since my last reviewed album was Diljit’s CON.FI.DEN.TIAL.  Before I give my opinion on Diljit Dosanjh’s 11th album, let’s agree here that Diljit does not make average/below average songs these days. His vocals cannot and should not be reviewed. He is in his own league and has seasoned well, while many of his contemporaries has fallen off the scene. In his latest offering, Diljit has made a compilation of 16 new songs with more than 20 featured artists. So with that in mind let’s get to the stuff and see how Diljit fairs with his latest offering to his audience. 1.    Intro : First Track on the album is an intro. Diljit is both humble and bragging about his accomplishments in the intro which I feel is a bit unwanted since I can’t imagine a person who does not know who Diljit is. No rating for the intro. 2.    G.O.A.T :  This is a good track with plent

Shaary Mann - Motor

I can say it is a thumb rule that everyone belonging to this generation of Punjab is a defacto Sharry Mann fan. And this is simply because of his works of early times belonging to his first, second and third albums (Yaar Anmulle, Aate Di Chidi and Meri Bebe). Every song had a special folk touch to it and the reason was Sharry Mann wrote his own songs. Despite being massive hits, the songs had a fragrance of Punjab to it. But in last few years Sharry Mann started releasing singles. It was a good thing for his fans who now would not have to wait for years to listen to his new songs. But he also started singing songs written by other lyricists. I am not saying it is a bad thing (he is an established star and is helping new talent to gain ground), but somewhere down the line, his songs became commercialized. The lyrics were mostly about daroo (alcohol) and gediyan etc. The special touch which was there in his early work was lost.

Diljit Dosanjh Con.Fi.Den.Tial review

And Diljit Dosanjh has dropped a new album out of nowhere after a gap of five years. There was no hype around this album, moreover, nobody knew about this album till Diljit disclosed it on his Twitter/Instagram account a few days back. Diljit has risen to new heights of stardom in last five years featuring in Bollywood movies, judging national talent shows and winning Filmfare award for his debut in Bollywood. But does this newly found fame weigh-in for his choice of songs in his new album Con.Fi.Den.Tial or is he going to continue the raw folk style he started on his last album Back To Basics alongside Tru-Skool. Not to mention that there is no featuring of likes of Tru-Skool and Veet Baljit; instead, Diljit has opted for Snappy as the music director and Rav Hanjra as the lyricist for his latest offering giving a kind of urban vibe to his new album. The title and song listing of the album also lay the ground for an Urban/R&B/Hip-Hop offering giving a 180-degree shift from his
