90 Di Bandook by Jazzy B

Some songs are made for a single moment. 90 Di Bandook is made for all of them. The music, composed by Jazzy B, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Jazzy B delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives 90 Di Bandook a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

In 2018, Punjabi produced many songs, but 90 Di Bandook was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 4:42, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Punjabi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
