Shining as a leader in the Punjabi music scene, acclaimed singer, rapper, and producer AP Dhillon has signed to Republic Records in alliance with Universal Music Canada. Today, he unveils his new single and video, which marks the first release under this newly minted partnership, “Old Money,” out now.
About the signing, REPUBLIC Founder and Chairman Monte Lipman commented, “AP Dhillon is not only an incredible artist who continues to defy gravity in real time, but a shrewd visionary with a global reach that has already sparked a cultural revolution. We’re thrilled to join forces with Universal Music Canada under the leadership of Chairman and C.E.O. Jeffrey Remedios to further extend AP’s impact and music around the world.”
AP Dhillon echoes his enthusiasm, “Republic Records always saw the vision. They got and understood who I am from day one. We’re all in harmony when it comes to this new music, and now I just can’t wait to show everybody what we’ve been cooking up.”
“Old Money” kicks off this chapter with a bang. It flaunts his versatile vocal delivery over a head-nodding beat punctuated by boisterous horns and cinematic strings. He drops rhymes in Punjabi as the momentum culminates in an instantly chantable chorus tailor-made to transcend any and all borders. Plus, he stepped behind the camera and personally helmed the accompanying music video. The visual nods to classic action flicks with its high octane momentum and nonstop thrills. Not to mention, it stars two Bollywood icons, namely Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt.
Of the single, AP Dhillon added, “‘Old Money’ is the perfect way for me to start my next era, especially with going big for the music video. I came up with a concept that was influenced by all my favourite action movies, and Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt showed up and killed it. I hope you love it as much as I do.”
Stay tuned for a whole lot more from AP Dhillon soon as he’s stepping onto the global stage.
