Classic Surinder Kaur’s ‘Agg Paaniyan Ch’ meets afro-beat bounce in this vibrant new-age Punjabi jam reimagined by Savi Kahlon and Shahat Gill, featuring Aveera Singh Masson
Surinder Kaur’s evergreen voice meets Afro-inspired beats in this track by Savi Kahlon that blends past and present effortlessly
Mumbai, 6th August 2025: A fresh spark just lit up the music scene in a confluence of the past and present. Singer-songwriter Savi Kahlon and celebrated rising icon Shahat Gill come together to recreate Punjab music’s most beloved classic, Agg Paaniyan Ch. Reimagined with care and creativity by Savi, the track is rooted in the legacy of legendary Surinder Kaur’s timeless voice and lifted by infectious afro-beat beats, the track is a celebration of old soul meeting new groove, while introducing an effortless, modern rhythm that resonates with today’s listener.
Featuring the popular Punjabi actress and model Aveera Singh Masson in the music video, whose graceful presence complements the song’s emotive tone. Produced by The Masterz, the track delicately balances its two worlds. Anchored in the warmth and melodic richness of Surinder Kaur’s original vocals, it gently uplifts with the contemporary afro-inspired beats, while keeping it fresh and modern. After back-to-back viral hits like BAMB and Hulaare, Shahat Gill joins forces with Savi Kahlon, the songwriter behind soulful tracks like Zaroor and Apa Fer Milaange. Together, they bring their signature styles to Agg Paaniyan Ch, a track that feels rooted yet global. In this rendition, Savi’s soulful voice brings familiarity and emotion, while Shahat adds a playful yet poised touch, creating a harmony that feels both rooted and renewed. It’s one of those songs that instantly lifts your spirits, is light, catchy, and will put a smile on from its start.
Talking about the track Savi Kahlon shares, “It’s a privilege that I got the chance to recreate a piece of what I grew up listening to into my own music. Surinder Kaur ji’s voice has been a part of our cultural memory, and to weave that legacy into our reimagined version of Agg Paaniyan Ch felt truly special. We wanted to honour that essence while allowing it to exist in a new space that still holds its sentiment, but now moves with a different beat which sounds global. This is our way of preserving something timeless and presenting it with a fresh perspective. Collaborating with Shahat was effortless, we’ve both built our own sounds, and this track brought all of that together in a way that just clicked right.”
“The beauty of this rendition is in its balance where it’s familiar, yet entirely its own. Working with Savi was so natural as we both knew exactly what the song needed, a sound that’s rooted, but still fun and free. As artists, we were guided by a deep respect for the original while letting our natural instincts shape the sound. I’m so happy and consider myself lucky that we could create something that feels both personal and universal,” Shahat Gill adds.
Savi Kahlon’s songs have always carried that comforting blend of warmth, nostalgia and emotion, while Shahat’s tracks are full of sass and high energy beats. But with Agg Paaniyan Ch, the creative trio of Savi Kahlon, Shahat Gill, and The Masterz have given a tribute to the classic with its thoughtful retelling, discovering the magic of a classic through a new lens.
