Bai Bai by Arjan Dhillon

Released as part of Bai Bai, Bai Bai announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Credit goes to MX Rci for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Arjan Dhillon understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of Bai Bai, and Bai Bai captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

The song dates from 2020, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

At 3:00, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Punjabi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
