Sulfa - 1 by Vikas Hammi

Few songs from 2020 have held their ground as well as Sulfa - 1, a track that keeps finding new audiences. Vikas Hammi, RK Crew, B Paras's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

Vikas Hammi understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. Hearing Sulfa - 1 without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Sulfa.

2020 was a strong year for Haryanvi music, and Sulfa - 1 was among the reasons why. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.
