Radiohead Guitarist Breaks Silence On New Album Delays!

The music world is buzzing! Radiohead axe-man Jonny Greenwood finally drops the deets on his new album, "Ranjha," a full ten years after his highly praised 2015 effort, "Junun." Fans have been chomping at the bit, and now we know why the wait. Talk about a bumpy road to release!

Turns out, this wasn't just a case of artistic perfectionism. Life threw some serious curveballs. Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a project, only for tragedy to strike. A musician involved in the project, a key player, sadly passed away during the album's development. A heartbreaking setback for everyone involved.

Then, as if that wasn't enough, the world screeched to a halt. The global pandemic hit, throwing a wrench into everything. Touring, recording, even just getting together to collaborate became a logistical nightmare. Just another hurdle in a long series of them.

And let's not forget the ever-present headache of international bureaucracy: visas. When you’re working with artists from across the globe, like Greenwood with Israeli musician Shye Ben Tzur, who splits his time between Israel and India, securing the necessary paperwork is a constant battle. It’s enough to make any project drag.

Despite the monumental challenges, "Ranjha" finally dropped last month, courtesy of World Circuit/BMG. It marks a long-awaited reunion between Greenwood and Tzur. The collaboration, which began all those years ago, has clearly withstood the test of time and adversity.

Industry insiders and fans alike are devouring the new tracks, praising the unique blend of sounds and the sheer resilience it took to bring this album to fruition. The buzz on social media is undeniable, with many calling it a triumphant return for the duo.

Now, the big question on everyone's mind: what's next for Greenwood? He’s already hinting at the possibility of another Radiohead tour. This news, reported by Variety, is music to the ears of millions of fans who have been eagerly awaiting the band's return to the stage.

It’s clear that even after a decade of trials and tribulations, Jonny Greenwood remains a creative force. His dedication to his craft, even in the face of such significant obstacles, is truly inspiring. We're all on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what he does next, both with Ben Tzur and with his iconic band.
