Abuse by Amanraj Gill

Not every song from Abuse lingers, but Abuse is the one that stays. The production by Amanraj Gill is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Abuse, Amanraj Gill clearly belongs in the second group. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Abuse, making it as much a performance as a song.

Released in 2021, it arrived at a time when Haryanvi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. There is no right time to listen to Abuse. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

In 2:44 minutes, Abuse builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
