Internationally acclaimed Punjabi powerhouse Karan Aujla and GRAMMY® nominated chart topping American pop superstars OneRepublic have released their highly anticipated single “Tell Me”, produced by preeminent South Asian producer Ikky. (LISTEN HERE) “Tell Me” marks the first time that both artists have performed a song in both English and Punjabi. The track arrives with an official video featuring Bollywood superstar Disha Patani.
“Tell Me” debuted earlier today with an interview on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily Radio Show with Zane Lowe featuring Karan Aujla and Ryan Tedder. The news of collaboration between Karan Aujla and Ryan Tedder was revealed in an exclusive interview last week, in which Tedder said “Anyone who’s not paying attention to India or Southeast Asia right now, on a cultural tip, is asleep at the wheel.”
Karan Aujla’s rise from his upbringing in rural Punjab to his place atop the global music industry is a testament to his talent and unique blend of Punjabi folk, hip-hop, and R&B. His albums, BacTHAfuKUP and Making Memories, have solidified his international presence. Making Memories, released in 2023, generated billions of streams and culminated in a sold-out world tour that connected him with hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide.
GRAMMY® nominated OneRepublic, is composed of singer/songwriter and lead vocalist Ryan Tedder, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, keys player Brian Willett, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher. Since the group’s debut, OneRepublic has amassed over 5 billion streams on Spotify alone. The band released their debut album, Dreaming Out Loud, in 2007, including the 20 million selling hit single “Apologize,” which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide and earned them a GRAMMY® nomination.
