In an age when songs can be as short as a viral video clip, brave is the artist who opens his album with a 19-minute track. But veteran singer, songwriter and composer Babbu Maan has always had the courage of his convictions. Adab Punjabi, which begins with the sequels to his 2020 single of that name, is his longest full-length to date. And it’s a testimony to his talent that it remains refreshing and enthralling throughout—with peppy bhangra alongside cinematic love ballads and lyrics to make you grin with delight.
