London by Jass Manak, Simar Kaur

Released as part of London, London announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. The music, composed by Rajat Nagpal, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The vocal on London is among the better performances Jass Manak, Simar Kaur has committed to record. Hearing London without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen London.

In 2022, Punjabi produced many songs, but London was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. London is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

Running to 3:14, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
