In celebrating his new song ‘Old Money’ release, a visually stunning music video that competes with the greatest epic action blockbusters, as global Punjabi music sensation AP Dhillon is also coming home to Canada in some sense. With this being his first release under the Republic Records banner and Universal Music Canada, it is indicative of how Indian music and entertainment will change because it has references to 90’s action films from India.
‘Old Money’ by AP Dhillon is a high-octane mix of Punjabi rhythms and cinematic grandeur that demonstrates his superb artistry which is not limited to music but extends into acting too. Additionally; this tune fans an infectious inferno on a pulsating foundation thereby shaking up the landscape of Punjabi music. The track has an irresistible rhythm which combines brassy horns and sweeping strings. This writer, singer and producer of songs such as raps possesses powerful vocals whose lyrics spell out a global anthem bound to cross cultural barriers.
Shinda Kahlon featured in ‘Old Money’ including AzizTheShake alongside Gray Hawken, Brendan Thomas, Luca Mauti and Madeleine Kay on production credits. For instance, while Salman Khan stars alongside Sanjay Dutt after more than ten years away from each other, AP Dhillon has taken off like no one else before him with its long list of icons in film making it an unprecedented blend of eras and talents. Thus, the anthem transcends all generations as it promises brotherhood and compassion among people worldwide.
Additionally; visuals have become very important for Dhillon’s work where he co-directs the arresting video directed by Shauna Gautam that ranges from heirloom through weapons to car chases for his debut effort behind the camera. On top of that for their respective roles in the video musical Salman Khan (affectionately known as bhai) depicts an older brotherly figure towards AP Dhillon while Sanjay Dutt (known as Baba) does the same. The video ends with a strong ‘say no to violence’ that emphasizes the importance of choosing peace over conflict and using your talent and hustle as a weapon, transforming the music video from just popcorn entertainment into a thought provoking social commentary.
According to AP Dhillon, “Old Money” is an introduction to my next era. I came up with this idea after watching all my favorite action movies when I was young. Bhai and baba have been there for me since day one! I hope you guys love it as much as I do.”
