Awaaz by Kamal Khan

When Kamal Khan recorded Awaaz, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. Behind the melody is the work of B Praak, whose composition choices give Awaaz its distinctive texture.

Kamal Khan inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The connection between Ammy Virk, Sargun Mehta, Guggu Gill, Harby Sangha, Mandeep Mani and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2018 was a strong year for Punjabi music, and Awaaz was among the reasons why. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

The concision of Awaaz — just 4:42 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Awaaz is a reminder that the best music does not need to announce itself. It only needs to be heard.
