Cardin’s music video for her song Meaningless premiered in February 2021. The video starts off with close-ups of Cardin’s side-profile as she sings with a beautiful sunrise in the background. As the video goes on we see that the sunrise and light play a large role. It feels like Cardin is being transported through these various scenes in the video by the lights. from flashing white lights to colourful light circles.

These different scenes also have great dancing segments where we see the tone of the song, the lyrics, and the beat all tie together; with the lights flashing on beat while showing us the emotions that Cardin is feeling. Throughout the video, it is clear that Cardin is singing and dancing with her whole body, the song really making its mark in every aspect of the video. Overall, it’s a really well-produced video and very enjoyable to watch.

Throughout his history-making Dil-Luminati Tour, Diljit Dosanjh has a line that he’s repeated proudly on stage, “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye” – or, “The Punjabis have arrived!”
