The Dutch EDM legend Tiësto breaks boundaries with his new remix of Karan Aujla and producer Ikky’s ‘Softly’. The original track was already a powerful Punjabi R&B banger, and now it is a masterful House craft.
Not So Softly
The song goes hard, as opposed to what the title says. It has a very funky groove, but stays true to the Punjabi influences of the original. Moreover, the mix accelerates the vocals and adds more force to the drop, and the Tumbi element adds so much flavor to the song. It has a meaningful depth to it, as Tiësto helps Karan Aujla’s vision of bringing Punjabi music into the mainstream and honoring his culture globally.
