With ‘Russ Jana’, the three artistes come together outside the world of cinema to create a soulful exploration of love, longing and the emotions that linger when a relationship changes.
Shekhar Ravjiani said, “Russ Jana is a very special song which I composed a few years ago for my independent record label Garuudaa Musiic. Priya and I are very proud this song. The song chose Asees to sing it and what a brilliant decision that was!”
Priya Saraiya said, “‘Russ Jana’ comes from a very vulnerable place. I wanted the lyrics to capture those feelings that remain when love changes its course, and working with Mr Shekhar Ravjiani and Asees brought that emotion to life beautifully”.
‘Russ Jana’ is released under the label of Garuudaa Musiic, and is available to stream on all music platforms.
