Old School Sunday: Bally Jagpal “Mur Vatneyia”
From 2001, Untruly Yours may have featured only 4 tracks, and probably ticked a few people off with having to pay £7 for the album back then (if you really purchased it.) But I still loved the tracks.
Ranjha was nice, and Aja Sohneya (remix) was, well you know what it was, but this Ranjit Mani, UK Garage infused track still was the one that got the highest amount of replays from me.

Old School Sunday: Ballay Jagpal “Bewafa”
Long before Imran Khan was crooning about it, Ranjit Mani and Bally Jagpal had their own OG UK Bhangra version of the track “Bewafa.”
Dating back to 1997, this track was featured on “Live & Direct” (as well as “Dark & Direct”).
The album featured a few other great songs like “Nakhre Bin Soni Temi”, and “Putt Sardara De”. But for me, any song that uses that James Brown guitar riff is a winner.

B21 “One-2-B” Album Tracklist
I refuse to get overly excited about this because…well because, I’m tired of being teased.
For those that want to know, this is what we can expect from the Jagpal brothers.
In May.
Maybe.
Hopefully.
Fingers crossed.

Old School Sunday – Bally Jagpal “Viah Karvake Ve”
I remember exactly were I first heard this song. It was 1999, and we were at a house party in Brampton (of all places.) Wait, let me rephrase that, it was outside the party. The music wasn’t bumping inside the house, as it was more of a dinner party for like a 100 people.
So us youngster’s were chilling outside, you know, up to our usual no good. When one of the elder youngsters who had a Jeep at the time pulled up to the front of the house with this song blaring. We quickly went up to him, and made him replay it.
I remember the excitement he showed while starting the song again. The song started as it does with a chilled out beat, Jimmy all along saying “wait for it…wait for it…”
“Wait for what?”
“The dhol to kick in”
Bally Jagpal feat. Amar Arshi/Shazia Manzoor “Viah Karvake Ve”
Sure enough, as Amar Arshi enters the song at the 1:03 mark, the dhol started and did it. That’s all it took. I was entranced. I got the album the following day, and continued to rinse what we now know as one of the biggest selling albums in UK Bhangra, “Dark and Dangerous.”
The song is originally an Amarjot and Chamkila track, and it was redone by one of the hottest combos back then consisting of Amar Arshi and Shazia Manzoor. (Thanks for the correction Nimrit.)Sudesh Kumari – who I still rate higher than Miss Pooja (sorry fellas.)
The entire album – comprised of six tracks – is very impressive, as it contained an array of beats and samples. This was also the first time we heard “Aaja Sohneya” by Shazia Manzoor, before we got “Simran’s Mix” on “Untruly Yours.”
If you don’t have this album in your collection. I suggest you get it, because you’re missing out badly.

As a special bonus, I came across the lyrics to the track online.
Ki Zor Gareeba Da Maari Chidakh Sohneya Ud Gayi
Sadi Kakaan Di Kulli Tere Hath Vadeya Karan Naal Jurgayi
Aari Firgayi Seeneh Te Meh Gal Hasdeya Hasdeya Kai
Sonhneya Viah Karvake Ve Sanu Milda Gilda Rai
Hai Viah Karvake Ve Sanu Milda Gilda RaiHai Do Dil Taan Jurgayi Ni Saur Ke Nahi Miliya Takdeera
Lakhan Ranjhe Turgayi Ni Ho Etheh Rehn Tara Diyan Heera
Hai Sun Bakshan Har Ik Ni Sau Teri Tehgayi Deri
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Ta Hai Paub Nikal Gayi Meri
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Ta Hai Paub Nikal Gayi MeriTere Aasa De Tand Tutgayi Reejah Di Udgayi Taani Ve
Mere Honkeh Kohkoh Lameh Ne Behdarda Sunni Kahani Ve
Sukh Vaseh Sohneya Ve Kiteh Sada Vi Dukh Sunlayi
Hai Viah Karvake Ve Sanu Milda Gilda Rai
Sohneya Viah Karvake Ve, Ve Sanu Milda Gilda RaiHo Chit Barbar Aunda Ni Hai Tu Raundi Chalna Hoveh, Raundi Chalna Hoveh
Kar Sabr Sapoori Ni Hai Kyo Sukisandi Roveh, Sukisandi Roveh
Aah Lagja Seeneh Ni Hai Tu Aaveh Yaad Batheri
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Hai Paub Nikal Gayi Meri
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Hai Ta Hai Paub Nikal Gayi MeriLaggeya Grehaan Mukadraan Nu Eh Lenhneh Dehneh Naseeban De
Sadeh Waqta Waraan Ne Hath Kholayi Khali Reh Gaye Hath Gareeban De
Patna Deya Taaru Ve Dubdi Hoi Rullan Gayi
Hai Viah Karvake Ve Sanu Milda Gilda Rai
Sohneya Viah Karvake Ve, Ve Sanu Milda Gilda RaiVang Wangu Tirkeh Na Hai Eh Pareya Jinda Da Thutaa Perya Dil Da Thutha
Lage Sadhsatee Wangu Hai Eh Chandray Jugg Da Butha, Chandray Jugg Da Butha
Aapay Chamkila Nee Pau Dart Ere Te Feri
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Hai Paub Nikal Gayi Meri
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Ta Hai Paub Nikal Gayi MeriHai Viah Karvake Ve Sanu Milda Gilda Rai
Sohneya Viah Karvake Ve, Ve Sanu Milda Gilda Rai
Hai Jad Pehli Lavun Parri Hai Paub Nikal Gayi Meri

ADH “Akh Mastani/Sassi” Video
ADH releases his second video from his upcoming “Taubah Taubah” album.
The first track features production by Hunterz, and if you cannot tell by the chorus or the music, the second features the production skills of Bally Jagpal.
OK I must admit, I like the video concept, because it translates over the two tracks. I also see myself listening to the Bally Jagpal produced track again. (I’m seriously starved for some B21 style music.)
The album is set to release on October 9, 2009.
What’s with all the solid choruses but meh songs?

Old School Sunday – Sardara S. Gill “Gideh Wich”
The group may be back together again, but I still liked Sardara S. Gill’s vocals over K.S. Bhamrah’s.
That being said, this track was HOT back in 1995. Released off his solo album “Pure Magic,” this track caught my attention because of the intro music. I would play this at parties, but then soon realised that the track is a tad slow to dance to, and a bit on the long side.
An interesting tidbit about the musical production of this song, is that it was the Jagpal brothers (Bally and Bhota) that produced it. Also, that killer tumbi was played by Balwinder Safri.

ADH “Taubah Taubah” Video
ADH is back, and if you never knew he was gone, then I can’t blame you.
He’s releasing his fourth album titled “Taubah Taubah,” and this is the first of five videos he is releasing in Autumn on the MovieBox label.
The title track features the help of US based rapper Gop Virk. I’m not feeling the vocals or the tune, it’s too light for me.
The album will however, feature production from the Jagpal brothers (B21) as well as Aman Hayer, and features Kuldeep Manak, Hunterz and Miss Pooja, so I won’t completely write off the album just yet.

Old School Sunday – Bally Jagpal “Ranjha”
This song was mad popular in 2001. Off of the “Untruly Yours” CD, Bally Jagpal proved that having average vocal skills propped with the autotuner isn’t a recent phenomenon.
Regardless, it was a crazy track with great production attributes, and even better lyrics.
