Sanket Jayn Unveils "Romanah": The Literary Soundtrack Where Instinct Battles Logic

Pune-based composer and songwriter Sanket Jayn marks his latest release, “Romanah” (October 24th), not as a song inspired by a real life romance, but by the highest form of romantic danger: the honeytrap. This high concept Funk Pop/Rock track delves deep into the coded passion and necessary chaos of two individuals, perhaps enemy spies, locked in a thrilling, high risk attraction.

The essence of "Romanah" lies in the exact, charged moment when logic and instinct collide. Jayn explains that the track captures the feeling of being face to face with someone who could compromise your mission, yet refusing to take a single step back. This is the critical space where reason fails, and raw desire holds the line, a coded, unsafe moment that is impossible to ignore. Jayn successfully translates this complex inner conflict into sound.

Sonically, the composition, developed alongside Viraj Joshi (Guitar), Gaurav Kharat (Keyboard), and Sushank Raut (Drummer), reflects this internal battlefield. "Romanah" is meticulously designed to hold the listener inside the tension without providing resolution. Under the careful final production and mixing of Vachan Wadhwa in Mumbai, the track feels intensely controlled, unpredictable, and strangely calm all at once. It is less a conventional narrative and more a precise, cinematic snapshot of a dangerous feeling often left unsaid.

The sophisticated tension is rooted in Jayn’s eclectic influences, which span the cinematic grandeur of Hans Zimmer and the emotional weight of Manchester Orchestra, balanced against the classical poetry of Mir Taqi Mir and Mirza Ghalib. This unexpected fusion gives the Funk Pop/Rock genre a rare literary depth. Even the unique recording process, where Jayn tracked his vocals in his wardrobe, underlines the commitment to capturing raw emotion.

Jayn's personal philosophy neatly encapsulates the track’s premise: "Devotion is just madness that learnt to pray beautifully." From conceptualizing the spy theme to crafting compelling cover art, Jayn’s dedication to this unique vision is absolute. With "Romanah," he invites listeners to stand in the most dangerous, beautiful collision of their own instinct and logic.
