Replay

Replay is a track composed and produced by British-Indian musician, producer and composer Nitin Sawhney. The piece appears as the sixth track on his twelfth studio album Immigrants, released on 19 March 2021 under Masterworks, a division of Sony Music. The album adopts a digital media format with no confirmed physical release variants.

The track spans 4 minutes and 8 seconds and exemplifies Sawhney’s fusion of electronic textures with traditional Indian classical elements. While specific instrumentation and contributing session musicians remain undocumented in available sources, the composition aligns with the album’s broader thematic exploration of migration, identity and cultural synthesis. Immigrants marks Sawhney’s first full-length project since Dystopian Dream (2015) and follows his work on film scores, including the 2019 adaptation of Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.

The album Immigrants comprises ten original tracks, with Replay positioned as the midpoint in the sequence. Sawhney composed, arranged and oversaw production for all tracks, maintaining his signature approach to blending ambient electronics with South Asian melodic frameworks. No commercial singles preceded the album, and promotional materials emphasized the record’s conceptual cohesion over individual track highlights. Critical reception noted the album’s introspective tone, though detailed analyses of Replay in isolation are not widely published.

Masterworks distributed the album across major digital platforms, including streaming services and download stores. The label categorized the release under contemporary world music and electronic genres, reflecting Sawhney’s cross-genre career. Live performances of material from Immigrants, including Replay, have not been documented in tour archives or official announcements as of the current revision date.
