Meesha Shafi celebrates feminine spirit with new release ‘Rajkumari’

With breathtaking visuals of dominant female figures, powerful lyrics and a music score to remember, Meesha Shafi has released a unique track —Rajkumari — on this International Women’s Day. The song aims to celebrate and pay an ode to womanhood and its fighting spirit that never backs down.

Meesha, with a very regal look exudes power and authority. Her persona is of a Goddess or a South Asian queen and it brings to mind Lady Gaga’s OTT get-ups (in Born This Way or Bad Romance) which can instantly hook the viewers within seconds. And she is not alone, the video also features Anaya Rahimi, Jannat Ali, Nayab Gohar, Sana Khurshid and Zahra Hameed. All the ladies are laden with beautiful oxidized jewellery, statement makeup and a commanding gaze.

Written and composed by Meesha, the lyrics explore the soul of womanhood. Her hard-hitting lucid words are impactful and define the rightful status of women which is denied in our society. “Look at you, you look like a queen… So benevolent and oh so haseen… Teray pairon talay suna jannat milay, Tu ghazab hai tu mahjabeen”. Truer words have not been sung to praise the feminine spirit which is crushed by forces of patriarchy.
