King Steps Into The Legacy With Raja Hindustani; Says, “It Feels Like A Full Circle Moment”

Pop icon King has unveiled his biggest album yet, Raja Hindustani, a sweeping celebration of India’s rich musical legacy shaped through a contemporary pop lens. On the project, King embraces melody-driven storytelling alongside some of the most influential voices in Indian music, including Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shaan, Kumar Sanu, and Rekha Bhardwaj. 

King’s Raja Hindustani Out! 

Released via Warner Music India, the album honours the timeless magic these icons have created in Indian culture while reimagining those emotional textures for a new generation. The first two singles, “Kamaal Hai” and “Jo Ishq Hua,” set the tone for the album’s melodic direction. 

“Maza Pyaar Karne Mein” emerges as a romantic centrepiece, with King and Kumar Sanu blending nostalgia with modern freshness. The video brings Kumar Sanu on screen alongside King, creating a rare, full-circle moment that bridges generations and eras.

The album continues with the upbeat, reggae-tinged “Yeh Dil Mujhko Tu Dede” alongside Sunidhi Chauhan, before shifting into “Yeh Safar” featuring Shaan, a warm ode to companionship. “Haal e Dil” with Shreya Ghoshal introduces an otherworldly yet ethereal pause, while Rekha Bhardwaj adds poetic depth to “Woh Pehla Akshar.” The solo closer “Aahista Aahista” ends the album on a euphoric note, pairing emotional lyricism with vibrant, celebratory production.

Speaking about the project, King shares, “Raja Hindustani is my way of honouring the music that raised me while still pushing my sound forward. I grew up listening to the legends I’ve collaborated with, which feels surreal in itself. Their voices shaped how I understand melody, emotion, and storytelling. To now sing with them isn’t just a collaboration; it feels like a full-circle moment. This album is about bridging generations; classical and contemporary, nostalgia and now. It’s about showing that Indian pop can be rooted in tradition while still sounding global, modern, and fearless. For me, Raja Hindustani is both a tribute and an expression.”

With Raja Hindustani, King returns to melody, emotion, and storytelling, presenting a body of work that bridges eras while firmly rooted in the present.

Raja Hindustani is out now on all major streaming platforms.
