Snap by Cheema Y, Gur Sidhu

Released as part of Cloud 9, Snap announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. Credit goes to Gur Sidhu for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

Every line Cheema Y, Gur Sidhu sings feels considered, as though the performance was thought through long before recording began. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2024 marked the release of Cloud 9, and Snap was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Some music is background. Snap demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

The 2:15 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Songs like Snap are the reason people fall in love with Punjabi music and never quite fall out of it.
