Remember
the hit song ofd the early 90's Tutak Tutak Tutiyan
,Hey jama lo,which was on the lips of oldand young alike
and set hundretsof feet tapping and an equal numberof
hearts racing?Well, the singer was none other than Malkit
Singh, one of the pioneers of British Bhangrawho has
been relentlessly taking the music of the Punjab to
audiences far and wide. After the platinum successes
of Midas Touch and Forever Gold and a passport that
lists 22 countries on tour, he hasd made a comeback
ns with yet another stunning musical expedition certain
to leave his legions of fans exhilarated once again!
"A seamless collection of dance-powered anthems
and honey-sweet ballads" is how "Akh Larr
Gayee" is being described, the 16th album of Malkit
Singh's career. Recorded in Mumbai with renowned music
directors Jaidev & Babloo, Malkit has gone back
into musical time and produced an album which will leave
a distinct mark on the Bhangra history. Bringing back
the true essence of real Bhangra with the lyrics, music
and sound dominant mood.
The
opening track justifies the new-wave Bhangra genre,
talking traditional 'desi' Bhangra from the sleepy villages
of Punjab, to a global "pop" audience. The
video to Kuk-du-Kadoon is currently on heavy rotation
on all major Asian networks world-wide and the style
and format of the video make it one of the most unique
and progressive Bhangra videos ever made. Has Has Ke,
Dum Lae Lae and Maria Toon Ghera further enhance the
dance scenario, while Malkit's stunning vocal presence
on Pathran dee Dunia and Pyar Nah Karin shows his immense
depth and power of voice. Tur Pardes Gaiyon (Jagga)
which was recorded in England, is aimed at the younger
Golden Star fans - for their stereos, cars and DJ sound
systems !
To
boost his global status as the "King of Bhangra",
Malkit Singh has teamed up with the "RaggaMuffin"
himself Apache Indian on the single Independent Girl,
which will be released on Apache's Real People album
in October. Look out for the release soon !
A
must-buy for Bhangra fans everywhere as it hits the
top of the Bhangra charts everywhere. Don't miss the
continuing saga of this legend. Malkit Singh and the
10 track Akh Larr Gayee, a stunning combination.
