Bhangra icon Sukhbir's done it again. Following the success of Hai Energy, with the hit Ishq, the Dubai-based singer has released Dil Kare. Known for his power-packed high-voltage numbers, the differentiating element here is the extensive use of instruments common to bhangra like the dhols, dholaks, chimtas, etc, apart from the regular western instruments, like the guitar and synthesiser.

The album begins with the two fast-paced tracks: the title, Dil kare and Balle Balle. Punjab is an ode to the singer's home state and instruments native to this state are used for this track, the best on the album, and quite different from his regular fare. Like Lutteya, which describes a woman's beauty and how her magical black eyes have made her the heartthrob of the entire neighbourhood with lyrics like teri kaliyan ankhiyan ne billo jag lutya.

Hundha Hai sounds quite similar to Ishq. A typical Sukhbir number about dancing in the village follows this track, so Nachle Soniye is not too different in terms of mood and lyrics than his other numbers like Munde bhangra paunde te kudiya gidda paundi (boys dance to the bhangra and girls do the gidda) and Punajbi munde paun bhangra. However, the orchestration is bound to make the number a hit.

Girls, Girls, Girls is the singer`s tribute to Indian women with lyrics like from the north, to the south, east to the west. Indian Girls are the best. In March this year, this number was released as a single along with a music video. Already a hit on the music charts, this English-Punjabi song is a celebration of the beauty of Indian women. The track was inspired after a surge of Indian winners at international beauty pageants like Miss World and Miss Universe. The video accompanying this number features most past Indian beauty queens like Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta. Sukhbir himself has penned the lyrics for this particular number.

The last track in Dil Kare comes backs to the underlying emphasis on dancing Punjabi Kuris.

Dil Kare is a must have if you are a bhangra fan even if you don`t understand a word of Punjabi. This album is bound to make the most reluctant dancers shake a leg to the captivating dhols.
