Harrdy Sandhu releases new track..

Harrdy Sandhu’s first single of 2020 is here! Called Jee Karr Daa, it stars the gorgeous Amyra Dastur opposite the singer-actor.After back-to-back dance bangers like Dance Like, Kya Baat Ay and Naah with Bollywood beauties like Nora Fatehi and Lauren Gottlieb, the singer’s latest track draws you in with an out-and-out romantic vibe that keeps you on the dance floor as well.

Featuring lyrics by Mellow D and music by Akull, the video is unlike anything we’ve seen from Harrdy this far. Directed by TruMakers, it has been shot at exotic locations (Istanbul, in particular) that will make you fall in love with the scenic beauty and make you take that dreamy trip with your partner. Harrdy Sandhu and Amyra Dastur’s chemistry in the video will leave you with the desire to listen more and keep watching the lead pair.

Of his first song of 2020, Harrdy says, “Jee Karr Daa is just the beginning, I promise to keep surprising my fans with such unique foot-tapping songs in 2020. Also, this song’s hook will definitely stick with listeners.”

Meanwhile, Harrdy is all set to enthrall Bollywood with a starring role in the Ranveer Singh-led multi-starrer 83, directed by Kabir Khan, which showcases the Indian cricket team’s victory at the 1983 World Cup.

Best Jazz Venue in India

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.
