Chandigarh, Aug 23 : Yadwinder Singh, an expatriate Punjabi artist, is all set to enthral music lovers with his album 'Ranjha'.

Singh's 'Ranjha' is a modern version of the fiction, and tapping on its beats, is its mantra.

Singh says: "I have reinvented Ranjha as 'modern', which is appeals to today's generation. Having sung it as a legend, I think it also enlightens the new generation."

Born in Punjab and brought up in England, Yadwinder was first launched under the name of Vikrant. After a gap of three years he is back with a bang. His album 'Ranjha' is more a romantic mix of Hindi and Punjabi numbers.

"I have performed all over the world. And within India, I have covered most of the cities. In fact, probably I have not done many shows, but overall Indian audience has been very gracious to me," says Singh.

Singh takes pride in being a Punjabi and says that Punjabi music continues to rule the Indian film industry.

"They (Punjabi music) ruled on them. Right from Roshan's to Yash Chopra to Subhash Ghai - all of them. In most of the Hindi films, nowadays you find at least one Punjabi song. Earlier, it used to be Yash Chopra films having one Punjabi song. These days the trend is that in most of the films you find Punjabi tracks," says Singh.
