Indian singer Badshah has released a new song, 'Galiyon Ke Ghalib', along with a video, from his profoundly intimate and sonically expansive five-track EP, 'Fitoor'.

The latest release is an infectious anthem characterised by incisive lyrical storytelling that has been coupled with his dance skills for the first time in the song's catchy music video, showcasing his signature style.

'Galiyon Ke Ghalib' aims to be a dance track, that also showcases Badshah's dynamic solo dance debut.

Badshah shares, "'Fitoor' represents a pivotal moment in my artistic journey, a profound exploration of self and sound where I've shed the constraints of expectation to embrace creative autonomy. ‘Galiyon Ke Ghalib' is a testament to this metamorphosis, a track that embodies the raw experimental energy I've always strived for, fueled by a primal love for hip-hop and the kaleidoscopic culture that has shaped and defined my unique creative expression. It's an unapologetic expression of my artistry, and I hope will resonate with listeners on a visceral level. This is Badshah, unfiltered and unbound."

'Fitoor,' meaning passion or obsession, aims to transcend the typical EP format and at the same time elevate desi hip-hop onto the global stage.

The EP's narrative tapestry begins with ‘Dear Aditya', a profoundly poignant overture that establishes the deeply personal themes explored throughout the six tracks. This raw and emotional track unfolds as an intimate journet into Badshah's younger self, Aditya Prateek Sisodia, offering an unvarnished glimpse into his formative years and the trials that shaped him including grappling with ambition, resilience, and the paradoxes inherent in artistic greatness, enhanced by a music video.

In stark contrast, ‘Blessed' emerges as a vibrant tune leading to personal triumph. Introspective reflection meets infectious rhythms that aim to showcase Badshah acknowledging his rise in the music industry, complemented by visuals filmed amidst Nepal's serene landscapes.

‘Velvet Flow' boldly departs from the emotionally charged tones of its predecessors, asserting itself as a seductive yet authentic declaration of hip-hop pride blending Badshah's distinctive rap with the alluring undertones of contemporary R&B, it reveals the raw essence of the genre. Replete with unapologetically bold lyrics, ‘Velvet Flow' dives into themes of dominance and unwavering self-assurance, amplified by a music video touching upon success and the unapologetic enjoyment of life lived to the fullest.

With 'Jordan' yet to release, ‘Fitoor' is Badshah unleashed - unfiltered, uninhibited, and unapologetically authentic.
