The album titled “Boot Polishan” concentrates on real life issues with
which all can relate, something which Gurdas Maan has a specialty for and
something which is surely missing from the Punjabi music industry.
With a library of great hits under his belt, Gurdas Maan is recognised
as one of the greatest Punjabi singers of all time. His input has been
phenomenal since the day of his establishment nearly 30 years ago and even
to date, he has kept his consistency and quality to a standard that only
he can raise.
His new album comes with an 18 page full colour inlay containing
English translations for each song and even though Gurdas Maan’s
listnership ranges from the young to the old, this translation will prove
essential for many second and third generation UK Punjabi’s to understand
the content of Gurdas Maan’s meaningful songs.
“Boot Polishan” contains eight mind blowing tracks:
- Boot Polishan
- Challie
- Cycle
- Dillan De Jaani (Tribute to our beloved Manoj Punj)
- Taare Gawah Ne
- Sakhiye Saheliye
- Mappe
- Bhagat Singh
The album contains several hit tracks that will be added to the long
list of Gurdas Maan’s classics. “Challie”, is an off shoot to the master
piece “Challa” and “Sakhiye Saheliyen” is a beautiful love song, that
falls into the league of classic love songs such as “Peer Tere Jaandi”.
Also included is a powerful patriotic track titled Bhagat Singh and Dillan
De Jaani dedicated to the late Manoj Punj. Boot Polishan again a
meaningful hard hitting track which again qualifies as an all time
classic. Music videos to 4 tracks will also be broadcast on all major
Asian tv stations within the coming days and again, Gurdas Maan proves,
that there’s no need for fancy models in order to enhance music. It should
be all in the lyrics.
Gurdas Maan has chosen UK Box Office to solely publish and distribute
the album in the UK and Europe, based on the unprecedented success
achieved while working in association with the newly established UK Box
Office directors Ashok and Jagjit Suman during the 2005 and 2007 UK and
European tours. They will also continue to act as official promoters for
Gurdas Maan for the 2009 tours.
Ashok Suman said, ‘The company originally started out solely
specialising in event management, however diversifying into the
distribution and publishing of Mr Maan’s album will illustrate our
company’s’ innovative aspect. Our solid partnership with Mr Maan has been
created by the sheer success of our ventures to date. We are very pleased
to be managing Mr Maan in the UK for both his concerts and album. Our long
term aims are to bring Punjabi music alive and we feel this album will be
a very strong starting point”.
