“Coffee” put three names on the first clearly dated point in this rollout: Amrinder Gill, Jasmeen Akhtar and Raj Ranjodh. Released on June 26, 2026, the collaboration arrived almost three months before Gill’s nine-track Hazir album. The title track followed as an August preview, carrying the project’s name into public view before the complete collection landed on September 21.
Taken together, those releases provide a compact route into Hazir. The sequence begins with a collaboration, moves to a song bearing the album title and ends with the larger project. It does not require the two singles to stand in for all nine tracks; their value lies in showing how the album emerged in stages.
June 26: “Coffee” begins the timeline
Apple Music dates “Coffee” to June 26 and credits it jointly to Gill, Akhtar and Raj Ranjodh. That shared billing makes collaboration the defining factual detail of this first stop. Months before the album arrived, Gill’s name was already connected to two fellow Punjabi artists through a standalone song that would later sit within the wider Hazir story.
The timing matters because “Coffee” was not released beside the finished nine-track collection. It had room to exist as its own entry point before the album supplied a broader frame. Once Hazir arrived, the June single also became an early marker for readers looking back at the project’s public progression.
August: the album name enters the picture
The next documented step shifted attention directly to Hazir. Reporting published on the album’s release day identifies the title track as an August preview and credits Rav Hanjra with its lyrics. Armaan Gill and Arnaaz Gill are named as its producers. Unlike the three-artist billing attached to “Coffee,” this milestone connected the campaign to the album’s own name and introduced a different set of documented creative credits.
That distinction gives the two releases separate jobs within the timeline. “Coffee” established the earlier collaboration among Gill, Akhtar and Raj Ranjodh. The title track then made Hazir itself the focus, a month before the complete project became available. The contrast is one of presentation and timing; the available facts do not support treating it as a verdict on how the songs sound.
| Rollout point | Release | Documented detail |
|---|---|---|
| June 26, 2026 | “Coffee” | Credited to Amrinder Gill, Jasmeen Akhtar and Raj Ranjodh |
| August 2026 | “Hazir” title track | Lyrics by Rav Hanjra; production by Armaan Gill and Arnaaz Gill |
| September 21, 2026 | Hazir | The nine-track album arrives |
September 21: the singles gain a larger frame
The album’s September 21 arrival completed the chronology. What began with one jointly credited song in June had developed into a title-led preview in August and then a nine-track release. For listeners entering the project now, the two earlier songs offer established starting points rather than a substitute for hearing the complete album.
That is the useful limit of this rollout story. “Coffee” and “Hazir” cannot establish the themes, sound or collaborator pattern of every track in the collection. They can show something more precise: Gill’s album did not appear without a public lead-in. One single introduced a three-artist collaboration; the next put the album title centre stage; September 21 brought the full nine-song context.
