WHERE ABOUTS by Nawab, Jesann

There is an honesty to WHERE ABOUTS that separates it from most Punjabi songs released around the same time. The music, composed by Nawab, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The voice of Nawab, Jesann carries WHERE ABOUTS effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. Hearing WHERE ABOUTS without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen WHERE ABOUTS.

The 2023 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

At 2:41, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The staying power of WHERE ABOUTS is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
