Hot on the heels of the massive collaborative single Aaya Na Tu by Arjun Kanungo and Momina Mustehsan, Vyrl Originals presents its brand-new release Maula. The track is a collaboration between multifaceted - singer, songwriter, musician, actor and fashion icon Farhan Saeed and the pioneer of Indian -R&B fusion music Rishi Rich.

Composed, written and sung by Farhan, Maula is a contemporary power ballad and a classic in the making that will connect with audiences across all ages. The prolific Rishi Rich lends his signature vibe to the track as a producer.

The official music video is a mini-Bollywood film, filled with twists and turns that showcases a tale of love that overcomes adverse circumstances. Shot in England, the video is slick in production and a visual treat where one is taken through multiple locations including the beautiful British countryside.

Speaking on the release, Farhan Saeed said, “It’s been a while since my last release but I’m very happy that the wait has ended with “Maula”. This is the first time Rishi and I have worked together and I loved the experience. Rishi has his own unique sound. The fusion of my music and his sound made something really interesting. I enjoyed the whole process of working with Rishi and so happy we collaborated for this song. Can’t wait to see the reaction of my fans!

Rishi Rich added, “Farhan’s career has been nothing short of stellar, both with the band JAL and then his solo work. It’s been great working with him for the first time. We shared an amazing vibe in the studio and I’m thrilled with the way ‘Maula’ has turned out. Can’t wait to hear what the fans have to say!”

Acclaimed film director Mohit Suri said, “It was great working with Farhan and Rishi in studio while creating ‘Maula’. Both very professional musicians in their own right with years of experience in the business. The output is “Maula” a contemporary ballad that brings out the best of both artistes.  I’m pretty confident that their legion of fans from all over the world will be pleasantly surprised on this collaboration that drops on VYRL Originals today.”

Vinit Thakkar, Senior Vice President, Universal Music Group India & South Asia and EMI Records India said, “With the overwhelming response of our latest collaborative single Aaya Na Tu, we are proud to present yet another massive collaboration with Farhan Saeed and Rishi Rich. Both these artists are incredibly talented and I’m proud of what we have achieved with the song and video of Maula.”   

Formerly the lead vocalist of the band JAL, Farhan has delivered several hits. He is the voice behind Woh Lamhay, Aadat, Ik Din Aey Ga, Sajni and many more. Post his departure from the band, he captivated hearts worldwide with his solo hits including Pi Jaun, Tu Thodi Der, Roiyaan, Rab Rakha, Sajna and Halka Halka Suroor.
