Capturing those backstage moments, just before stepping on stage. 💫 🎤 Feeling Exotic in every breath, in the passion and heartbeat that make these moments unforgettable ✨ @irit_tenhengel @warnermusicindia 📸 @jackalexanderuk

From soundcheck to showtime 💫 🎤 Some glimpses of the unforgettable moments on the O2 stage! Will always remember this Exotic night 🔥 @arrahman @irit_tenhengel @warnermusicindia 📸 @filmedbynathaniel

A few months ago, I had the privilege of working with one of the world’s true musical geniuses, @arrahman , the Mozart of Madras. We recorded a song written by Diane Warren and performed by the incredible RIKA, and under AR’s touch it became something far beyond a track, it became a bridge between cultures, generations, and hearts. I’ve always believed that music holds the power to unite us, and that belief has guided me for over three decades 🎵. Just before RIKA’s performance with AR at the O2 Arena, I felt inspired to create something special, a new spiritual and angelic version of one of AR’s most iconic songs, “Jai Ho.” This is our tribute to a man whose music continues to remind the world that harmony isn’t just heard, it’s felt.💛 @arrahman , this one is for you, with all our hearts.🫶 Produced by @talforer

Sometimes no words needed, just pure magic ✨ What an Exotic night at the O2 Arena with the legendary @arrahman! @dianewarren @irit_tenhengel @warnermusicindia @jaymehtagram 🙌🏽 📸 @jackalexanderuk #Exotic

My first concert ever was when I was 16 at the O2 Arena. I went to see Justin Bieber, standing in the crowd, looking at that huge stage and dreaming that maybe one day I’d be the one standing there. 💫 And tomorrow, I can’t believe I’m saying this, it’s happening. I’ll be performing my single Exotic on that same stage with the legendary A R Rahman. Dreams don’t just happen overnight, they grow inside you, fueled by passion, persistence, and a little bit of magic. 🙏 London, see you tomorrow. Let’s fill the O2 with Exotic vibes. 💫 #O2Arena #ARRahman #Exotic @arrahman @dianewarren @irit_tenhengel @warnermusicindia

A dream song by the one and only Diane Warren 🎼 Produced by the legendary A. R. Rahman 🎹 Performed by the incredible RIKA 🎤 A vision I nurtured from the start now crossing borders and generations.💫 Exotic is more than a song, its connection, passion, and the power of music to travel . 🌎 Grateful to @arrahman, @dianewarren , @rika , and @warnermusicindia @jaymehtagram for going all in with me. This journey has been incredible and it's just the beginning... 🚀 A big heartfelt thank you to @hollywoodreporterindia for capturing our song and story with such beauty and heart.❤️ #excotic #musichasnoborders #hollywoodreporte 🇮🇳

For Your GRAMMY® Consideration 💫 Best Global Music Performance Performing Exotic has been one of the greatest honors of my life, written and composed by the incredible Diane Warren, produced by the legendary A. R. Rahman. This song is about unity and love across cultures, and I’m proud to carry its message with my voice! Thank you for listening and considering Exotic 🩷 @arrahman @dianewarren @irit_tenhengel @warnermusicindia @recordingacademy #GRAMMYs #ForYourConsideration #Exotic #Unity #Love 📸 @meredithtruax

#ELLECulture: What makes a song a hit? Is it the melody that lingers long after the last note, the words that carve themselves into memory, or the voice that feels like it’s singing only to you? More often than not, it’s an alchemy of all three, and when the right people come together, that spark turns into something unforgettable. That’s the magic of ‘Exotic’ — a rare collision of worlds in a single song. Three artists, each from a different universe, converging in melody. The screen flickered, and there they were: A. R. Rahman, the Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer whose music has scored the soundtrack of our lives; Diane Warren, the Emmy- and Grammy-winning songwriter, graced with an honorary Oscar, two Golden Globes, and a lifetime of songs that etch love into memory; and RIKA, the rising British-Indian voice, carrying the luminous promise of tomorrow. Head to the 🔗 in bio to read the interview. . Words by: @16ektasinha . AR Rahman, Music

In times when the world often feels divided, it’s uplifting to see a story written with such heart and sincerity. 🫶 Thank you @elleindia for capturing the passion and love behind EXOTIC and telling it with kindness, depth and beauty. 💫 Stories like this remind us that music is about connection, unity and harmony, and that is always worth celebrating 💛✨🎶. Stay exotic 😎 The full interview is linked in my bio🩷 @16ektasinha “Exotic is a reminder that music still knows no borders, that it can circle back on itself and complete a story years in the making, and that sometimes the best collaborations are born out of late-night calls, instinctive ideas on a plane, and, of course, falafels.” @arrahman @dianewarren @irit_tenhengel @warnermusicindia 📸: @meredithtruax

In a quiet moment today at my hotel room this melody found me 🎵 I kept hearing “Finding Her” by @kushagrathakurofficial not as one voice, but two… Like a tender duet between two hearts 💕 So I followed that feeling... and this is what came through! From my heart to yours 🫶🏼 Here’s my take on this extraordinary song! @irit_tenhengel @jaymehtagram @sarubinmodes @warnermusicindia #findingher #kushagra #duet #lovesong

Singing beside global icon A.R. Rahman at the piano felt like walking on the 🌖 . Surreal, honest and pure magic. He made space for me to be fully myself, while guided me with grace and reminded me why I love music in the first place. No ego, just heart ❤️ I’ll never forget what it felt like to be seen and supported by someone I admire so much. Thank you @arrahman for believing in me and letting me fly. “When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite and commitment, the input reflects in the output” A.R. Rahman And as for the falafel joke at the end 🥙😂, maybe I’ll let you in on it someday 😜 @irit_tenhengel @jaymehtagram @warnermusicindia @sarubinmodes
