Diljit Dosanjh AURA Album Review: Almost three fourths of the entire album will make mock you for being single, and the rest of the songs will make you feel like you don’t need anyone else.
Diljit Dosanjh AURA Album Review: The Punjabi music industry today is as overcrowded as Rajiv Chowk metro station on a Monday morning. Imagine the average commuter trying to get to Gurgaon—that’s your everyday Punjabi artist chasing fame and success. Just like the commuter gets pushed around from all sides, the artist is constantly caught between following current trends and staying true to their own voice. For most of Diljit Dosanjh’s new album, it feels like he’s taking the predictable, well-trodden path—until, suddenly, he switches lanes and surprises you.
The album starts where almost all Punjabi pop albums of recent times start, with a little romantic number (*cough* Karan Aujla). ‘Senorita’ starts with classical guitar playing in the background, and trap beats soon take over the song. Diljit forsakes alcohol for this mystery woman and compares her skin to cappuccino (this album has really weird similes), and producer MixSingh makes the right decision by letting the guitar play on its own after each hook, keeping the listener engaged.
