Mumbai, April 6 Singer Jasleen Royal has collaborated with Badshah on a poignant love song titled ‘Inaam’, which the rapper-musician says helped him explore his quieter and more vulnerable side of his artistry.
‘Inaam’, which translates to “reward”, brings together two distinct artistic identities to create a song about love in its quietest and deepest form.
Badshah, whose real name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, said in a statement: “‘Inaam’ allowed me to explore a quieter, more vulnerable side of my artistry. It’s simple, honest, and something I think many people will connect with.”
Royal uses her signature soft vocals for ‘Inaam’ and explores the contours of a relationship defined by emotional security.
The track is written by Ansh Chahal and is presented from a feminine perspective. It centers on a quiet but decisive realization that love, at its most enduring, is found in presence, not performance. It captures the feeling of emotional safety of finding someone who feels like home.
For Jasleen, the new track with Badshah is a very personal song, as she says in a statement: “It’s about the kind of love that enters your chaos and quiets everything. It’s the feeling of being held, like coming home, even when everything else feels uncertain. There’s a quiet kind of love in it, where their happiness matters just as much as your own.”
Royal, who made her debut in Hindi cinema with the film ‘Khoobsurat’ alongside Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan, with a song titled "Preet" in 2014, added: “With this song, you’ll hear a different side of Badshah.”
The singer further shared: “We’ve all seen his high-energy side, but here, you get to hear something much more vulnerable and real.”
Badshah steps away from his signature dynamic persona as he adds a compelling dimension to the track. He adds a more restrained, profound, and introspective performance for ‘Inaam’, which is released via Universal Music.
