H-Dhami, Sadke Java

After the successful and award-winning number one innings of newcomer H-Dhami with his single Sadke Java, he�s back with his first album and the same title, produced under the keen eye of veteran British-Asian music producer, Rishi Rich. Rich's known for his talent-spotting and this album will do goose egg less. The Rishi Rich imprint is prevalent all over the album, and rather obscures the talents of H-Dhami. Nonetheless, it's a vibrant and up-and-coming album that guarantees a bobbing auditor all summertime long!



The title track is the offset to hit you and it instantly grabs your attention with jiving beat generation � addition the remix version is equal to it. Mitra Di Jaan and Nachdi Vekhna should bring back a watercourse of memories with its recognisable tune and bassline from a couple days back. Perhaps this is playing it too safe, but it does work. Other songs with recognizable tunes include Akh Lad Gayee (the Bollywood original is much hastier), along with a more traditional take on Lute Gaai.



All the songs on this album are quite quick paced though Har Gabroo is a bit mellower. H-Dhami�s vocals take on an unusual quality here, rendering the song adorable and sincere. The same goes for Heeriye � another track that will stand kayoed due to its lingering tune. However the high spot is for sure Dho Nain. Yes it may at first sound like an average tune, but H-Dhami's rendition stands out. For a new artist, he sounds exceptionally seasoned and experienced. Well done Rishi � I think you've found a successor!
