The prolific Punjabi singer crafts a versatile showcase

While others in his field may have shunned the LP format in recent years, that’s not Arjan Dhillon’s way. The lyricist and singer dropped Jalwa in October 2022 and followed up in a matter of weeks with this sophisticated melting pot of bhangra, pop, rock and hip-hop, featuring multiple collabs with producer Mxrci. A for Arjan is a full-length whirlwind of musical ideas, flitting from relaxed ballad to foot-stomper in the blink of an eye. And it’s all done in Dhillon’s inimitable style, cementing his status as a Punjabi hitmaker without equal. Breathless hard-rock-toting “High” is a highlight, as are the blissful beats that shine in “Sanu Teri Lod”.
