thiarajxtt – one of the most in-demand Punjabi artists and super-producers – releases his new single ”Jogi” featuring Bir today.
The new release blends Afrobeat with R&B and marks thiarajxtt’s latest collaboration with Bir. The two artists have worked together frequently over the years, including on the hit track “Afterhours,” which has amassed hundreds of millions of streams across platforms.
“Jogi” is a Punjabi ballad, wherein Bir is deeply captivated by his beloved’s beauty and divine aura. He frames his emotions as all-consuming and destined, making references to the tragic love story Heer Ranjha. His partner’s charm is so intense that Bir sings it could drive him to become a jogi – a wandering ascetic – leaving the material world behind.
About the new single, thiarajxtt says, “’Jogi’ is special – it’s a romantic, soulful vibe. It’s one of those essentials for my listeners who’ve been riding with me for the Punjabi-Afrobeat sound. I wanted to give my fans something smooth and meaningful for the summer. This one just feels right.”
“Jogi” is thiarajxtt’s second official release of 2025, following his Coke Studio India collaboration “Punjab Vekh Ke” with Gulab Sidhu, Jassa Dhillon, and Raaginder, which has surpassed 21 million views on YouTube alone. Given thiara’s proven track record with Bir, the summer smash is sure to make waves across the globe.
