Anirban Jee’s “Are We Gonna” is a shimmering blend of disco-pop-funk and soulful R&B that is destined to land on your summer playlist.
From the moment the bassline kicks in, the track struts with effortless groove, pulling you in with an enticing melody. It’s sleek and playful, sitting back into retro funk sensibilities with a smooth pop polish. Jee’s velvety vocal glides over rhythmic synths and a propulsive beat, giving the track both a sensual intimacy and an irresistible energy.
What makes “Are We Gonna” stand out is its balance between old-school soul influences and modern production.

The song tells the story of a fleeting but magnetic connection, two strangers locking eyes on a summer night, moving together on the dance floor and daring to ask if the moment can become something more. It balances euphoria with vulnerability, as Anirban sings about letting go of the past and seizing the chance for love.
The track channels the funk-fuelled charisma of the ’90s while keeping its feet firmly planted in today’s alt-pop landscape. Think Jamiroquai and Bruno Mars jamming on Friday night and you have “Are We Gonna”. It’s the kind of song you can imagine soundtracking both a late-night drive and a neon-lit club.

Anirban’s versatility as a songwriter and performer points to his confident run of releases. A lifelong musician since picking up his first keyboard at 12, Jee has been recognised as a Songwriter of the Year at both the Australian Songwriting Contest (2018) and SongsAlive (2017), with multiple wins across Pop, Ballad, and Contemporary Pop categories.
With “Are We Gonna,” stamps to Anirban’s devotion to songwriting. By blending funk’s timeless swagger with soulful flourishes, he’s created a track that not only gets you moving but also speaks to the vulnerability of attraction. Hat’s off to Anirban’s very sophisticated yet accessible slice of modern disco-pop that deserves a listen.
