Simon Nandhra - Reloaded Collection
After a brief intermission, internationally acclaimed music producer Simon Nandhra returns with the second instalment of his ‘Reloaded Collection’, reimagining one of his most iconic tracks in a groundbreaking style. ✨
This thrilling remake of the classic originally featured on Simon’s 2004 album Underestimated. Sung by the globally celebrated Humera Arshad, the 2004 rendition was a dazzling fusion of desi instruments with dhols, tumbi, and flute, paired with heavy-hitting kick and bass elements.
The roots of the song trace back even further to the legendary Narinder Biba, who first brought it to life with lyrics penned by the iconic Dev Tharikewala. Now, Simon Nandhra reimagines this masterpiece for a second time in an entirely new dimension: UK Garage style. Staying true to the genre’s essence, Simon brings on board its pioneering MCs, the one-and-only ‘Metz N Trix’, to infuse their distinctive lyrical flow into the mix. The result is a pulsating, genre-defying anthem that seamlessly bridges traditional Punjabi music with the edgy rhythms of UK Garage.
Adding an extra layer of brilliance, the accompanying music video for ‘Kahnu Reloaded’ is an international collaboration brought to life by the visionary director ‘Filmed by Akash’. This global production matches the song’s energy and ambition, with striking visuals filmed across multiple locations. The video brings the song to life, weaving together vibrant storytelling with Akash's signature cinematic flair. The dynamic interplay of visuals and sound enhances the song’s impact, creating an immersive experience that amplifies the emotion and energy of this groundbreaking track.
‘Kahnu Reloaded’ is more than just a remake; it’s a reinvention of a cultural gem by legends who have collectively been at the forefront of the music industry for over two decades. Simon Nandhra’s masterful production infuses UK Garage’s signature syncopated beats, irresistible basslines, and shimmering melodies with the rich heritage of Punjabi music. Metz N Trix’s electrifying MC flow adds a modern edge, while Humera Arshad’s timeless vocals anchor the track in its roots.
