It’s giving Valentine’s and there’s no regrets. Kick back and embrace all things the duo have to offer courtesy of their new audio gem.

Indian-American songwriter, producer, and DIY creative ZZ returns today with “Russian Roulette Catchin’ Z’s” feat. TIANA, a guitar-strumming reflection on love and the repercussions of getting money. Produced by the multihyphenate himself, “Russian Roulette Catchin’ Z’s” arrives on the heels of a white-hot 2023 which saw the emerging artist release his first Hindi / English track “Skippuh,” become the first-ever Indian performer at the Troubadour in LA, and headline India’s biggest music festival Zomaland.

Following ZZ’s monumental performance at the historic Troubadour and presence on the Zomaland stage alongside legendary acts such as Jay Sean, Jasleen Royal, and Juggy D, "Russian Roulette Catchin’ Z’s" emerges as the harbinger of a promising 2024. A guitar- and drum-infused duet, "Russian Roulette Catchin’ Z’s" encapsulates a simple yet compelling expression of desire. On the track, TIANA ponders love through her velvety vocals, questioning, “If I give you love would you love me? If I give you trust would you trust me?”  ZZ simultaneously reflects on the repercussions of amassing wealth as he laments, “Everyone talking to me nicely that’s what you get with money, every time I crack a joke I get told I’m super funny.”  Together, the duo paints a nuanced portrait, intertwining their narratives in a rich musical tapestry.
