Referred to as the ‘Hit Maker’, PBN has been living up to his reputation. The release of ‘Aashiq’ has topped charts across the country and is one of the biggest songs at the moment, there is no end in sight to it’s popularity. Continuing his takeover the next release is a track entitled ‘Dancelfoor’ featuring Dippa Dosanjh. With its infectious melody and catchy hook it plays on the popular perception of PBN as a producer of dance floor hits and is a through and through PBN smash which is sure to be stuck in your head and get you dancing.

Featuring 10 new tracks and the finest vocalists, ‘Homegrown’ not only caters for the avid party-goer but also showcases PBN’s diverse production skills with a mix of musical styles and genres. Inspired by Bhangra fans and the current music scene, PBN has created an album with a little something for everyone. May it be dhol laced party anthems or smooth R&B jams or your typical desi vibes, the album is jam packed with musical delights each treated to PBN’s hit making formula and will leave you wanting more.

A truly versatile and diverse producer, the album showcases different sides to PBN. ‘Naa Reh Naa’ sees the producer take inspiration from Bollywood for a sweet love song, whilst ‘Vas Challeh’ is the perfect R&B flavoured Panjabi track for cruising in your car. Furthermore, he infuses desi beats with bassline for the track ‘Chardi Jawani’, which brings back the hit collaboration of PBN and Charanjit Channi from the super anthem ‘Jaan Panjabi’.  

Not abandoning the style that has made PBN so successful, the album also delivers a selection of huge Bhangra numbers like ‘Saddi Gal’ and ‘Nach Le’ featuring Lehmber Hussainpuri. Teaming up with another Bhangra star, PBN and Apna Sangeet’s K.S Bhamrah, create a new version of the popular ‘Jagoo’ song, complete with new lyrics and melody. A must at every Indian wedding.  Giving into popular demand, PBN teams up with Miss Pooja for a second track. Wanting to demonstrate that a Miss Pooja duet doesn’t have to have a typical desi composition, the songstress’ vocals have been paired up with A.S Amar and placed over heavy bass drop and beats in ‘Ah Ni Bhabiye’.

Taking his career a step further and the album a notch higher, the real surprise is PBN’s singing debut on ‘Sohni Lagdi’. This song is being panned as UK Bhangra at its best. With a sing-along hookline and fun melody, the track brings together two of the Midland’s finest musical talent. Apache Indian collaborates with PBN on this track and further strengthens the song, giving it a commercial vibe and gearing people up for the summer. A very special and extremely personal project for the producer, the song will firmly place PBN as one of the UK’s most talented and well-rounded musicians and artists.
