Meet Bros are coming up with a new single,'Assi Trendsetter'. The song is set to release on April 12, under the flagship of their music label. Assi Trendsetter is a Punjabi pop song about being proud of being desi/Punjabi. Sung by Meet Bros aka Manmeet and Harmeet Singh, the track also features the Punjabi rap sensation Bohemia, rapping in his signature style. The song is in Punjabi and English, and the lyrics have been penned by Kumaar.
Talking about the song, Harmeet says, "It is the first time we are collaborating with Bohemia. For our channel, it is important for us to come up with original songs and this one is a banger."
Manmeet adds, "Bohemia’s rap beautifully adds zing to the high-octane number and keeping pace with him was fun. The music video of our single was shot in Turkey, which gives the video an exotic vibe, Our energies were tapped beautifully on the camera."
Those of you who have been around from the 1960's through the 1990's will remember the vibrant live music scene in almost every starred hotel in India. Those were the days when you walked into a nightclub like 'Rendezvous' at The Taj Mahal hotel and 'Supper Club' at the Oberoi Sheraton in Mumbai to see curtains going up on a band that was the prime focus of these outlets. Every seat in these restaurants allowed an unobstructed view of the band that performed every night on resident contracts. Today all this has disappeared thanks to some ridiculously high entertainment taxes on live music. Today, non off these hotels have complete bands playing save for a few that feature small duos or solo singers. The Lodhi in New Delhi, recently listed among the world's best hotels, decided to step in and rewind to the good old days. They got Goa's premier jazz quartet 'Jazz Junction' to move to Delhi on a resident contract and the decision has paid off in terms of footfalls generated by the band. Jazz Junction featuring singer Daniella Rodrigues, pianist Tony Dias,
bassist Colin D'Cruz and drummer Angelo Colasco began playing at The Lodhi in June 2018. Four months into the contract the band generated a sizeable following, with quite a few high profile guests choosing to celebrate their special occasion at the Elan bar where the band performs. Against all odds the rewind option proved to be a huge success and hopefully other properties around the country takes the cue to trigger a whole new revival of live music.
