Songlines Magazine: Sonny Singh's 'Aisee Preet'

Excerpt below and full article here.

Ahead of the full album, Singh has released a video for the first single, 'Aisee Preet'. Based on a 16th century Sikh shabad (devotional poem) by Guru Arjan, the tune gets an injection of brass in Singh's update and a percussive lift from traditional drums, including dholki, dhad and chimta. The video was filmed in Richmond Hill, the epicentre of New York's Sikh community, and is released today (April 14) to mark Vaisakhi, the start of the Punjabi new year and the celebration of the birth of the Khalsa.
