	       Bait (Music From & Inspired by the Original Series) is the soundtrack
album for Bait, a six-part comedy series for Amazon Prime Video created by and
starring Oscar winner Riz Ahmed (with Ben Karlin). The series follows Shah
Latif, an out-of-work British Pakistani actor whose life spirals out of control
after landing a chance to audition for the role of James Bond. The show
premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and all six episodes were released
on Prime Video on 25 March 2026, featuring Guz Khan, Sheeba Chaddha, Sajid
Hasan, Ritu Arya, and Weruche Opia. The series score was composed by Shruti
Kumar.
The album was initially released as a six-track EP alongside the series
premiere, with an expanded 17-track edition following on 16 April 2026.
Executive produced by Zubin Irani (founder of FAMM and manager of Jorja Smith)
and Riz Ahmed himself — also a member of hip-hop trio Swet Shop Boys — the
collection features 37 artists spanning an exceptionally wide musical spectrum:
British grime and rap (AJ Tracey, Enny, CASisDEAD, Manni Dee), South Asian
hip-hop (KR$NA, Talha Anjum and Young Stunners, Jokhay), Pakistani vocal
traditions and contemporary electronics (Arooj Aftab, Natasha Noorani, Abdullah
Siddiqui), Indian alternative pop (Talwiinder, Anish Kumar), and British R&B
(Jorja Smith, Jay Sean).
Among the standout tracks is a reimagining of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are
Made of This)" by producer Anish Kumar with Grammy-winning Pakistani vocalist
Arooj Aftab, sung in Urdu with sitar — one of the most discussed musical
moments of the series. Lead single "Too Bait" unites AJ Tracey, Enny, KR$NA, and
Anik Khan over a grime beat by Dirty Danger of Ruff Sqwad, built on an
interpolation of Pakistani classic "Zambo Zambo" by Tafo and Nahid Akhtar. Jorja
Smith's contribution, the string-laden ballad "Price of It All," is accompanied
by an Amir Amor remix and a music video directed by KC Locke in a Bond-style
espionage aesthetic. The inclusion of Origin Unknown and MC Shabba D's "Valley
of the Shadows (Bait FM)" adds a drum'n'bass classic to the collection.
Ahmed has described the soundtrack as an unprecedented project that brings
together vital artists from across the diaspora — India, Pakistan, South Asia
broadly, as well as the UK and US. Critics have noted that the album functions
not as a conventional television tie-in but as a full-fledged cultural
manifesto, asserting the genre-fluid sophistication and global caliber of the
British South Asian music scene.
