Groundshaker II – Aman Hayer

This new record serves as both a complement and a contrast to 'GroundShaker II' and with Aman’s unimaginably intricate beats this sounds like no Genie Records release
you've ever heard before!
Working with a host of star collaborators, including Jazzy B, Apache Indian, Hard Kaur and Nirmal Sidhu this album shows a distinct progression in style and sound.

A heady mix of lightning-fast guitar riffs, heavy duty beats and impeccable vocal presence makes 'GroundShaker II' a perfect combination of the East-West genre mix. With
‘Tharti Hildi’ becoming an iconic Bhangra song of the modern era, its aura makes it a slice of modern Punjabi music that is equally recognisable and loved by every age group and more importantly, every music lover worldwide.

With over a decade of tutelage from ‘The Music Man’ Sukshinder Shinda it’s clear to see that a lot of Shinda’s characteristics have rubbed off onto Aman.

At the same time, Aman’s now own inimitable style is in heavy demand and he has firmly established his brand of Punjabi folk using a sumptuous mix of raw and traditional elements wrapped within a street savvy sound.

Highlights include Jazzy B on ‘Boliyan GSII’ featuring item girl Yana Gupta in a stunning video shot in Mumbai, India

Along with ‘Sher Punjabi’ by Nirmal Sidhu featuring G Money, Aman Hayer has for the first time ever recorded himself as a solo singer! Listen out for ‘Vekhi Lagdi’ where Aman takes a leaf out of Shinda’s musical notebook on vocals accompanied by the male/female rap duo of Apache Indian and Hard Kaur.

Another standout track uses an array of classical strings and a Latin influence on ‘Haa Karde’ featuring the melodious Master Saleem alongside Bollywood playback artist Jayshree Shrivatam.

Over fourteen tracks he glides through a variety of stylistic forms, predominantly Bhangra, including Jazzy B’s Chargai and Lembher Hussainpuri’s Gabhru Shakeen.
An accomplishment by an artist with a wealth of musical attributes to bring these colossal names together.
