Bulet Saiyan by Antra Singh Priyanka

Bulet Saiyan arrived from the Bulet Saiyan album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2022. Credit goes to Vinay Vinayak for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Antra Singh Priyanka delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Bulet Saiyan, making it as much a performance as a song.

2022 was a strong year for Bhojpuri music, and Bulet Saiyan was among the reasons why. Listeners have described the experience of Bulet Saiyan differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

The concision of Bulet Saiyan — just 3:44 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Years from now, Bulet Saiyan will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
