Hostel by Sharry Mann

Hostel arrived from the Hostel album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2017. Credit goes to Mista Baaz for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The voice of Sharry Mann carries Hostel effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. The connection between Sharry Mann and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

The 2017 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. There is no right time to listen to Hostel. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 5:23, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Songs like Hostel are the reason people fall in love with Punjabi music and never quite fall out of it.
