Saloni ft: Maharani - Fair Share (Single)

Rising British Asian artist Saloni is set to captivate audiences once again with the release of her highly anticipated EP, Rani. Known for blending the sounds of Pop, R&B, and Bollywood, Saloni's music is a powerful reflection of her Eastern and Western influences. Following the viral success of her track Nee Gundellounna—which garnered over 5 million views and climbed to #16 on the Official UK Asian Music Charts—Saloni is ready to take her unique sound to the next level with Rani.

Saloni was also nominated for the music category at this year's Ethnicity Awards 2024 on October 31st, alongside huge artists in Zayn Malik, RAYE, Emile Sande, Jay Sean and more. She ended up winning this prestigious award - a big milestone for Saloni - exemplifying her cultural influence, alongside the quality of her music and what she represents as an artist to relate to and invest in.

This 6-track EP showcases Saloni’s exceptional versatility as a singer/songwriter, with songs in five different languages. Rani, meaning “queen” in Hindi, embodies the essence of strength, confidence, and self-empowerment, a theme carried throughout the EP. Building on the success of the title track Rani, this EP features a mix of empowering anthems and emotive love songs that resonate deeply with listeners.

The lead single from the EP, ‘Fair Share’, is a standout collaboration with Tamil artist Maharani. This trilingual track, performed in English, Telugu, and Tamil, celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, offering a unique sonic experience that bridges cultural and linguistic boundaries. ‘Fair Share’ is a testament to Saloni’s artistic vision—combining diverse musical influences while delivering a message of strength and individuality. The smooth, captivating melodies are underpinned by R&B rhythms, while the lyrical content highlights the importance of acknowledging one's worth in this empowering statement of a track.

The song’s creation was a journey in itself. Crafted over Facetime calls and WhatsApp messages, Saloni and Maharani developed the track online, with the organic collaboration resulting in an inspiring anthem that speaks to women everywhere. The track’s multilingual brilliance is a refreshing take on modern music, intertwining three languages and two cultures into a cohesive and enchanting sound.

​​“I’m beyond excited for the world to finally experience Rani, the EP! I’ve poured two years of my heart and soul into this project, making it incredibly special to me. Rani takes listeners on a journey—starting with the bold and powerful title track, and then peeling back layers of vulnerability as the track-list unfolds.”

"’Fair Share’ represents a point of independence, about women recognising their worth after experiencing their fair share of mistakes and lessons. It's Alright feels like a letter to my younger self—acknowledging that doubts and discouragement, whether from others or yourself, are part of the journey. But in the end, everything falls into place when you persevere. This song draws from the tough moments in my childhood, proving that I could achieve what others thought I couldn’t."

Collaborating with top-tier talent in the British Asian music scene, including Farooq Got Audio, D8, SHAYE, REVEAL and more, Rani solidifies Saloni's position as a key figure in the fusion of global and South Asian music. Her seamless ability to sing in over 10 languages and perform across genres has made her a rising force in the industry, as reflected by her recent high-profile performances at OVO Arena Wembley, BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend, and Godiva Festival.

With its strong message of self-sufficiency, smooth production, and unforgettable hooks, ‘Fair Share’ is a standout track that’s destined to resonate with audiences worldwide. Whether it’s the empowering narrative or the rich, multilingual layers, ‘Fair Share’ is an anthem of independence and a celebration of cultural fusion.

With the success of Rani’s title track already making waves, ‘Fair Share’ promises to be another iconic moment in Saloni’s ascent. The Rani EP, with its cultural richness and transcendent messages, sets the stage for a groundbreaking year ahead for this one-of-a-kind artist.
