Unaware by Kamal Khaira, Excel Music, Gagna Sidhu

There is an honesty to Unaware that separates it from most Punjabi songs released around the same time. Behind the melody is the work of Excel Music, whose composition choices give Unaware its distinctive texture.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Unaware, Kamal Khaira, Excel Music, Gagna Sidhu clearly belongs in the second group. Hearing Unaware without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Aishwood.

When it came out in 2026, Unaware felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. 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.

At 2:17, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. This is music that holds up — not because it is perfect, but because it is honest, and honesty in a song is irreplaceable.
