April 29, 2026 “The Album is Back!”
The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 521
ON TODAY'S SHOW
Wednesday's hour on The Bridge is Sammy's case that the album isn't dead — Punjabi music decided that, and it's why the genre is winning right now. Diljit's Call of Panjab dropped a week ago — Aroma and Truck on the show. Shubh's Chapter 4 IV dropped the week before — Bounce on the show. AP Dhillon's Brownprint, in album sequence. Karan Aujla's run is album-cycled. The argument is simple: the algorithm wanted us to forget how to sit with twelve songs in a row, and Punjab didn't. DJ Geet pulls her Track of the Week. Sammy chats with E The First on the American hip-hop parallel — Kendrick, Tyler, and why the album came back over there too. Dr. Roy on Word on the Avenue, Rhianna on Diaspora Rising, and Doyeeta with the Artist Spotlight.
