Rabbi Shergill just exited the top 10

What an impressively long run in the top 10 on MusicIndiaOnline charts for an album in such a rare category - SufiRock and that too after more than a year of its release. Ever since the attention grabbing video for "Bulla Ki Jana" aired on T.V I have always been inquisitive about Rabbi and his album. After another video "Jugni" I just couldn't wait to sample the well produced album and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be.

"Bulla Ki Jana" must be the first song you should be listening. My punjabi friend also says this is a spiritual song. Follow that with "Ek Geet Hijar Da" for some lovely singing. Your next stop must be "Gill Te Guitar" which is a faster paced song and a happier one with some good guitar riffs. "Heer" - faster than the previous number, sung well and with good guitar playing this song is a treat too. "Ishtihar" is a slow number but melodious and does not get boring. "Ajj Nachna" is the one that sounds typical Punjabi and again not-boring. "Jugni" sounds as stylish as it looks on the video. "Tere Bin" with more indian perscussion is another lovely number. "Totia Manmotia" is the only unattractive number but then you can always forgive the only exception on the album. Never boring with lovely tunes on the intruments and on the vocals this album is a very good buy. Check it out at musicindiaonline. Rabbi
