Shye Ben Tzur and Jonny Greenwood Announce Ranjha, Share Title Track and Video

The collaborators pivot to a controlled studio environment to refine clarity, exploring funk-driven grooves.

Overview

  • The lead single and title track is out now with an Ian Patrick–directed video.
  • Ranjha is set for May 8 release on World Circuit/BMG, with pre-orders available on vinyl, CD, and download.
  • The album was produced by Sam Petts-Davies and recorded at Jonny Greenwood’s Oxfordshire studio, departing from Junun’s fort setting in Jodhpur.
  • The cast spans 21 musicians including the Rajasthan Express, with The Smile’s Tom Skinner performing on the title track.
  • Songs began during Radiohead tours in 2017–18 and, after pandemic delays, were completed with a careful approach to blending Western harmony with Ben Tzur’s compositions.
