King, the global pop force behind record-shattering hits like Maan Meri Jaan and Tu Jaana Na Piya, is back with Kamaal Hai, an explosive pop-dance track in collaboration with Warner Music India / 91 North Records. The track kickstarts a daring new chapter in King’s artistry and is the first single from his sixth studio album, dropping early next year.
Composed by King and Aditya Dev, with lyrics by King himself, the track features actor Sahher Bambba, who recently made waves with The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Infectious hooks, slick wordplay, and an undeniable groove, Kamaal Hai delivers pure pop adrenaline, complete with a standout hook step and high-energy choreography built for screens big and small.
The music video matches the song’s scale and madness. Shot in Kochi and directed by Lendrick Kumar, the cinematic, action-comedy spectacle stars King and Sahher Bambba, along with the legendary Lilliput (M.M. Faruqui), dropping viewers into a hyper-stylised gangster universe of vintage cars, sleek suits, guns, swagger and total chaos.
On the launch of the song, King shares, “Kamaal Hai marks the beginning of a new era for me, and I wanted the visuals to feel just as explosive as the song. Working with Sahher Bambba and Lilliput sir was an absolute joy. They brought so much charm, timing, and personality to the world we were building. Most importantly, collaborating with Lendrick Kumar on the video was an incredible experience as his vision, pace, and treatment turned the track into this larger-than-life ride filled with dance, action, and humour. It’s the kind of madness I’ve always wanted to put on screen, and I’m glad we got to create it together.”
Sahher Bambba adds, “Working on this song has been such a refreshing experience for me. The team, especially Lendrick, created a playful, supportive space that really allowed the performance to breathe. And with King’s easy, infectious energy on set, everything flowed even better. I’m truly thrilled with what we’ve created together.”
A global hitmaker and the first Indian artist to break into the Spotify Global Top 25, King continues to expand his footprint with chart-topping singles, massive collaborations, and electrifying live performances worldwide. He next takes the stage at the Music Head Festival, Itanagar, on November 22, with more shows across India lined up.
His upcoming album is a celebration of where he stands today, rooted in India’s musical DNA yet reaching boldly into the future of Indian pop.
