Three questions Neha Bhasin, Playback singer-performer

Q. How would you describe your latest single? Why did you choose this particular Punjabi song?
A. Nai Jaana is a traditional Punjabi wedding song done in a modern style. My whole Punjabi folk project has been about bringing a contemporary twist to the music. The song is minimal, using guitars, percussion and keeping it centered around the vocals. The original is about a bride who doesn’t want to leave for her marital home until the bridegroom arrives to take her. The music video has given it a modern story and message. I chose this song because my mother used to sing it when I was a child. It is close to my heart and I have a lot of fond memories associated with it.
