Hero image for She

Aaradhna Jayantilal Patel hit number one in 2004 with her debut single 'Getting Stronger', a collaboration with R&B duo Adeaze. After four albums she took a career break; 'She' is her first track since 2016. The song and video are directly inspired by Aaradhna's Indian heritage. 'She' opens with birdsong and xylophone before her multi-tracked vocal drops, summoning her ancestors. Director Anahera Parata paints in light and shade; Aaradhna is a bejewelled warrior princess, cradling a traditional weapon and held aloft in a nocturnal ceremony. 'She' was named Best Video at both the Aotearoa and Pacific Music Awards.

Straight from her Mother, a pearl from the waters, bred by the ocean, a home with no borders, hair just like feathers, pulled by the heavens...
– Aaradhna's lyrics for 'She'
