Rabbi’s new venture dedicated to the girl child!
Rabbi Shergill, the “Bulla ki Janna main kaun” fame singer has come out with his new album which he claims to be dedicated to the girl child and the social issues associated with it. Titled Avengi Ja Nahin, the complete album has been focused on the issues like female feticide, racism etc.
The album is a nine song venture which is Rabbi’s first attempt to work for a noble cause. The title track Avengi Ja Nahin, which is already on air and doing the rounds of various music channels focuses the issues of a girl child while through another one titled
Ballo, Shergill puts light on the illegal act of pre natal determination of sex. Known for his Sufi style of singing, the Punjabi Sufi singer has not deviated from his style of singing and presents his concerns and expresses his grief over the manipulation and exploitation of females in such an advanced era.
Another song, Pagri Sambhal Jatta deals with the brewing problem of racism, which he shares, is also influenced by the Billy Joel song We Didn’t Start The Fire. Explaining how he had to face problems while he was in London, where people seeing him wearing a turban thought small of him, the singer claimed that it affected his thoughts a lot which led him to the song which has been shot in Brazil, Mumbai and Italy.
The famous singer also has a bollywood release in the near future, Delhi Heights for which he has sung and composed songs but marks that bollywood music is repetitive and one cannot soar very high in it. Routing back to his recently released album, Rabbi describes the songs very straight forward and is hopeful that people would connect to the songs. Wishing him all the luck for his work, we hope that his concerns towards the social issues create some difference.
