LISTEN HERE

14 MARCH 2025 (TORONTO, ON) –– Today, Arooj Aftab releases “raat ki rani” (Khruangbin Remix). This new version of the track (whose title translates to “Queen of the Night” — the intoxicatingly fragrant, night-blooming flower) features new instrumentals from Khruangbin and re-recorded vocals by Aftab. Listen to the new track HERE, and watch the visualizer HERE.

Following their fall 2024 tour together, Aftab and Khruangbin went into the studio together to cut the new version of “raat ki rani,” the Grammy®-nominated lead single from Arooj’s 2024 album Night Reign. The infectious rhythm of the original track was influenced by the Brazilian music style maracatu, while the remix taps into the style of ‘90s-early ‘00s groovy soul house music.
