Several Punjabi artists simultaneously operate in the worlds of hip-hop and pop, but only a handful do it with the same finesse as Navaan Sandhu. The chart-conquering singer-songwriter, rapper and composer effortlessly moves between the genres, as this 2025 album attests, yet can also seamlessly bring them together as evidenced on a handful of its tracks. Party starter “Dapper Dan”, for instance, will appeal equally to fans of both dancy beats and deft bars. Similarly, the sad but soulful “Regret”—featuring fellow MC Gurinder Gill—would be right at home in any of a range of stylistically varied playlists.
