Punjabi Hitmaker Jai Dhir And Yoki Drop Dreamy New Single ‘Velvet Sky'
Last Updated:
Jai Dhir drops Velvet Sky with Yoki, a soulful Punjabi pop love song blending deep house and drill, capturing the magic of unspoken emotions.
Punjabi pop sensation Jai Dhir has returned with his third original single of the year, Velvet Sky, in collaboration with producer Yoki. Following the success of previous tracks like Sidekick, Leja, and Mirza, Jai continues to expand his vibrant discography with a romantic offering that fuses dreamy melodies with contemporary beats.
Velvet Sky is a soft yet energizing Punjabi pop love song that paints an atmospheric narrative of unspoken emotions. Jai Dhir, known for his emotive storytelling and fusion of Punjabi, R&B, and pop sounds, described the song as deeply personal. 'This song came straight from the heart. It is a dreamy love song about feeling a deep, unspoken connection with someone special, and captures the quiet emotions of admiring someone from a distance, like a late-night drive filled with unsaid feelings," he said. 'I just wanted to keep it real and dreamy—something that feels like you're floating in a feeling. The lyrics and melody just flowed, and it all felt too natural. It's one of those songs where every word means something. I hope people connect with the vibe as much as I did while creating it."

Adding a fresh sonic layer to Jai's vision, Yoki's production weaves deep house with punchy drill elements to create a lush soundscape. Speaking about the process, Yoki shared, 'I had a blast producing this one. I wanted to mix that chill deep house vibe with some punchy drill elements—something that hits but still lets the emotion breathe. It's got that balance of groove and mood, which I really love. The moment I recorded the raw vocals, I knew exactly where I wanted to take the sound. Super proud of how it turned out within two sessions."
Since launching his career at 19, Jai Dhir has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young voices in India's indie music landscape. Hailing from New Delhi, the 24-year-old artist has carved out a niche with his genre-blending approach. From viral hits like Leja, featured in Netflix's Mismatched Season 2, to Mirza, which racked up over 200 million streams as part of Instagram's 1 Minute Music, Jai's catalogue is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. His collaboration with Pritam on the Punjabi version of Kesariya, officially released by Sony Music India, further solidified his rising star status.
With Velvet Sky, Jai Dhir continues to enchant fans with music that is heartfelt and modern, rooted in emotion but elevated by global production styles. The track is now streaming on all major platforms and is already making waves for its lush vibe and poetic storytelling.
As he continues to push boundaries and redefine the Punjabi pop genre, Jai Dhir's musical journey shows no signs of slowing down. If Velvet Sky is any indication, he's only getting started.

‘Sardaar Ji 3': After demands for revoking citizenship, Diljit Dosanjh gets support from BJP, DSGMC
Jalandhar: Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh , who has been under fire for his film 'Sardaar Ji 3' starring Pakistan actor Hania Aamir, has gotten support from BJP national spokesperson R P Singh and former DSGMC chief Manjit Singh G K. In a post on his X account on Friday R P Singh described Dosanjh as "a national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture" as he slammed the Federation of Western India Cine Employees for demanding action against the celebrity. "FWICE's call to revoke his Indian citizenship over an inadvertent and pre-incident film shoot is not only unfair but shockingly disproportionate. The film featuring a Pakistani actress was shot before the Pahalgam attack. If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit's patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational," he wrote. R P Singh pointed out that the Indian cricket team played a match against Pakistan just days before the Pahalgam massacre. "Did FWICE or others object then? TV news channels routinely invite Pakistani guests to boost TRPs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Should those anchors now relinquish their citizenship too? Let's not cheapen nationalism or weaponise patriotism. FWICE should reconsider its stance—such targeting of our own talent only weakens our moral standing," he added. Punjabi actor and BJP culture cell convener Hobby Dhaliwal, too, extended support to Diljit at a press conference at the party's Chandigarh office. Dhaliwal said that Diljit was not just an artist but a globally respected face of Punjabi culture. "At a time of national tension, attempts are being made to defame him with baseless allegations. This is unfortunate and condemnable," he said. "Diljit is the son of this soil. Punjab stands with him—and India too," Dhaliwal said, while being flanked by Punjab BJP media cell in-charge Vineet Joshi. He expressed regret that certain elements were now demanding the cancellation of his citizenship and a ban on his films. He felt the demand was not only unjustified, but politically motivated and entirely baseless. "Every citizen is patriotic, but using this as a pretext to target a single artist is wrong. BJP stands firmly with Diljit Dosanjh," he added. Shiromani Akali Dal leader and former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee chief Manjit Singh GK too issued a statement in his support and questioned what he called the "selective targeting" of Diljit. He said the way Diljit was being targeted appeared like an "undeclared emergency". "He represented the country and Punjab, and has become an icon," G K said. He also questioned the silence of the present DSGMC leadership. On the other hand, singer Mika Singh came under attack from the X handle @Tractor2twitr_P, which is popular for its stance on pro-farmer issues in Punjab and Haryana. "Weeks before the Uri attack, @MikaSingh flew to Karachi to sing at the wedding of a billionaire who was a close aide of Parvez Musharraf, the mastermind of the Kargil war. Today he is lecturing @diljitdosanjh for acting alongside a Pakistani artist in a film produced, directed, and cast by someone else," read a post on the handle.
