In the evolving soundscape of Punjabi music, few artists manage to strike a balance between innovation and authenticity like Ammy Virk. And now, he’s ready to raise the bar even higher with his upcoming album “Rise & Thrive”, presented by White Hill Music.
More than just a music release, this album is a journey a 12-chapter story told through songs that blend rhythm, emotion, and rich cultural texture.
Rise & Thrive – A Story in Twelve Tracks
Unlike standard albums, Rise & Thrive has been designed with purpose and structure. Split into Side-A and Side-B, each track serves as a unique chapter, making this more of a cinematic audio experience than a casual playlist.
The album’s cover art a lone silhouette of Ammy Virk in a focused beam of light perfectly mirrors the project’s theme: rising from struggle and thriving through creative expression.
First Look: Side-A Tracklist Revealed
Let’s explore the six tracks that form the powerful opening half of the album:
1.CURRENT
Feat. Jasmine Sandlas | Lyrics: Raj Ranjodh | Music: Avvy Sra
An electrifying duet that blends passion with punch. With two powerhouse voices, Current sets the tone for what’s to come.
2.G WAGON
Lyrics: Raj Ranjodh | Music: Avvy Sra
A track for the dreamers and doers, G Wagon oozes ambition and modern-day hustle.
3.ANAKH
Lyrics: Mani Longia | Music: Sync
Rooted in Punjabi pride, Anakh is an anthem of identity, resilience, and unshakable spirit.
4.HASSE VANDE
Lyrics: Mani Longia | Music: Starboy X
Upbeat and playful, this one’s for the free-spirited. Hasse Vande adds a cheerful twist to the album’s emotional depth.
5.YAADAAN SAHAARE
Lyrics: Gill Rony | Music: Dilmaan
A soulful and melancholic ballad that taps into nostalgia and the ache of unforgettable memories.
6.SURMEDANI
Lyrics: Gill Rony | Music: The Boss
Closing out Side-A with vibrant folk energy, Surmedani brings rhythm, tradition, and undeniable charm
Why This Album Stands Out
Ammy Virk’s Rise & Thrive is more than just a showcase of vocal talent it’s a collaboration between some of the best in the Punjabi music industry. From top-tier producers like Avvy Sra, Starboy X, and The Boss to brilliant lyricists such as Raj Ranjodh and Mani Longia, this album is a well-rounded masterpiece.
Visually, the album pays homage to retro aesthetics with cassette-themed designs, giving longtime music lovers a taste of nostalgia wrapped in a modern sonic experience.
