Malkit Singh releases new album entitled Billo Rani
The 12 track album will be released through the Moviebox label. Songs off the album to look out for include Mama Great and Paundah Bhangra which are both tipped to be great dance floor fillers. Another track which is gaining plenty of attention as well as increasing coverage on TV and radio programmes is Nach Billo featuring Mumzy.
Malkit Singh is recognised as one of the biggest names in bhangra and is the only Asian artist to have been awarded an MBE from the Queen, which he received back in 2008 for services to Punjabi music. Malkit was also named the best selling bhangra solo artist in the world as part of the millennium edition of the Guinness Book Of Records.
With such an illustrious history in the bhangra music business, fans will be expecting great things from the singer’s new album. Let us know what you think about Billo Rani – is Malkit still flying high, or isn’t it as good as the old stuff?

Panjabi By Nature is one guy. Why have you referred to him as “people”?
Bhangra.org dont even know about bhangra artists? lol
It says: “as well as another song by the people behind chart topping hit Aashiq, Punjabi By Nature (PBN)”
Read it carefully again!!! And also whether it’s PBN or any other music producer, you can’t simply do all the production yourself, there’s always a team of people involved.. That’s what the writer probably means!
That’s quite true – it takes a lot of good people to produce a good album. The bhangra music industry has a huge amounts of new talent and its now really started to take off. Don’t get me wrong, bhangra has always been massive since the days of Apna Sangeet, Premi and all other live bands. Malkit singh seems to be doing well!
Malkit Singh is truly the king of bhangra who has moved with the times. Rishi Rich is also a good producer and together they will do extremely well.
Bhangra artists have finally relised that working with other singers and producers is the way forward. I think Sukhshinder Shinda and Jazzy B started this trend, Shinda more than anyone though with callaborations.
Who here thinks that tracks other than Rishi Rich sound like crap. They sound like they were recorded on a personal computer instead of in a studio. I had waited so long for Malkit to release his album and am greatly disappointed. Rap and Malkit don’t go together. Especially if the damn rapper sounds so Indian wanna be. Who the hell is the mumzy dude. I guess I will have to wait for the 23rd album.
By the way, Malkit was live at one of the wedding receptions that I attended and he sang a couple of songs from the new album. Let me tell you that it sounded much better than his recordings on this album.
