Badshah, Shreya Ghoshal On Their Collaboration
Speaking about the collaboration, Badshah said that working with Shreya felt like bringing two musical universes together to tell a universal love story. As quoted by IANS, he said, "Everyone knows Shreyaji as the queen of romance, and our camaraderie on the Indian Idol set has always been incredible. But taking that energy into the studio for this track was an entirely different experience."
"Mahiya is the kind of song that stays with you long after the first listen. It holds a beautiful balance of longing, love and celebration. It truly feels like a crossover of two different musical universes coming together to tell a universal love story," he added.
Shreya also spoke about taking their bond beyond the Indian Idol sets and collaborating on a song. "We've shared so many amazing moments while judging together, but collaborating on an actual song was long overdue. Badshah has brought a completely refreshing perspective to Mahiya. The track beautifully blends intense emotion with contemporary arrangements, and I think fans are going to love this side of him," she said.
Mahiya is now available on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube and other music streaming platforms.
