About You Are

\"You Are\" is a track by British-Indian composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Nitin Sawhney. The piece appears as the tenth and closing track on his eleventh 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 pressings at the time of release.

The track runs for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Sawhney composed, arranged and produced the work, consistent with his role across the album. Immigrants explores themes of displacement, identity and cultural fusion, blending elements of Indian classical music with electronic, jazz and orchestral arrangements. \"You Are\" serves as a reflective conclusion to the album’s narrative arc, though specific lyrical or instrumental details remain undocumented in available sources.

Sawhney recorded the album during the global COVID-19 pandemic, incorporating remote collaborations with international artists. The broader project features contributions from vocalists and instrumentalists across genres, though the personnel for \"You Are\" are not individually credited in public records. Masterworks distributed the album via major digital platforms, including streaming services and digital storefronts.

Critical reception of Immigrants highlighted Sawhney’s integration of traditional raga scales with contemporary production techniques. \"You Are\" aligns with this approach, though no standalone analyses of the track exist in published reviews. The album’s release coincided with Sawhney’s advocacy for refugee rights, a theme mirrored in its title and promotional materials.

No official music video, live performances or alternate versions of \"You Are\" have been released as of the latest available information. The track remains exclusive to the Immigrants album in its original form.
