Peaches by Diljit Dosanjh

Released as part of Drive Thru, Peaches announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. has a history of strong work, and the music on Peaches is among the most memorable of it.

What sets this recording apart is how Diljit Dosanjh handles the emotional weight — never overplaying, never holding back. Hearing Peaches without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Drive Thru.

The song dates from 2022, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. Listeners have described the experience of Peaches differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

In 3:09 minutes, Peaches builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Punjabi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
