Ali Sethi is expected to release his upcoming album, Room Jhoom, very soon, taking inspiration from his hit song Pasoori, with Shae Gill. The singer, songwriter, and composer is known for blending Eastern and Western music together. His new album, Room Jhoom, expected to be released on May 22, will be a collaboration between Sethi and American drummer and music composer Gregory Rogrove, taking on a fusion of styles from soft Sufi to fast-paced Caribbean music.

Sethi shared an Instagram post explaining the process behind the album. “But then something happened. I began to loosen, to journey away from my moorings. I was succumbing to new sounds and sensations, yes, but also surrendering to a long-buried voice within, which asked me to seek freedom, to lay roots in new soil, to pin my hopes on an expansive horizon,” he said. The singer regretted how social norms and taboo music choices were disrespected in his home country and he did not want to shy away from changing that. This time, that meant bridging a gap between South Asian and Latin American pop. At the end, Sethi highlighted, “what we made is music rooted in trust: trust in the process of collaboration, and in the power of intuition.”
