Celebrated vocal coach and artist in her own right, Jeanne Merchant‘s life revolves around the sonic arts. Married to Salim Merchant, one of the biggest music composers of the Bollywood industry, she uses her extraordinary voice and songwriting talent to bring to life her own compelling musical vision.
First unveiling her own original sound back in 2021, she dropped her debut single “Round And Round” and has since followed up with a string of well-received singles over the last three years. With hit tracks including “Hello and Goodbye,” “Fake Love,” “Christmas without You”, “Magic”, “Imperfections” and “Christmas Time” along the way, she’s been going from strength to strength with each move.
Now she brings us her latest release with her eighth single titled “Lucky Tonight,” this time collaborating with revered rapper EPR. Produced by Anshuman Sharma and released via the leading Merchant Records imprint, “Lucky Tonight” sees Jeanne Merchant and EPR serve up a shimmering synth pop/R&B/rap sound packed full of airy melodies, danceable rhythm, quirky lyrics and memorable hooks.
Opened by Jeanne’s sultry vocalisations, the crazy hit of the beat ushers in a smooth groove as the artist drapes silky melodic leads over the shining synth-driven arrangement. Flowing with creative beats and “hook-ey” lines, “Lucky Tonight” presents an immersive and cohesive sound that’s impossible not to love.
As Jeanne’s voice and lyrics glide over the bounce of the groove , EPR takes the mic to spin razor-sharp rapped flows, adding slick energy to the track. Written about jubilant celebration, the song is an escape for friends to enjoy a night out, club- hop and revel in the carefree, adventurous joy of the evening.
It’s a superb showcase of Jeanne Merchant’s alluring vocal panache as well as her ability to collaborate with other artists to bring to life her musical vision in dazzling fashion. Paired with the single is the music video directed by Tushar Mahajan, serving up a vibrant visual feast to perfectly reflect the colourful r&b/hiphop/pop-focused sound of the music.
