Bombaymami And Troyboi Reunite On ‘Honey Liquor’

Following their collaboration on “Beggin,” BombayMami and TroyBoi reconnect for “Honey Liquor,” a slow-burning crossover of electronic production, R&B and South Asian influences that puts identity, temptation and self-possession at its centre.

BombayMami and TroyBoi have joined forces once again for their latest single, “Honey Liquor,” released September 18.

The new track follows the pair’s previous collaboration “Beggin,” but pushes their shared language into a more restrained and seductive space. TroyBoi builds the production around a heavy, slow-moving groove, leaving room for BombayMami’s vocals to sit at the centre while South Asian textures intersect with electronic trap and R&B.

For BombayMami, the track’s sense of temptation comes with a warning. Beneath its sensual delivery, “Honey Liquor” is about remaining focused when distraction arrives in its most attractive form.

“‘Honey Liquor’ is about keeping your eyes on the prize, even when temptation feels sweet and intoxicating,” she explains. “It’s sexy, playful, and a reminder not to lose focus. It’s also my second song with my bro TroyBoi, which makes it even more special.”

That balance between cultures is central to both artists. Raised between India and Switzerland, BombayMami has built her work around the intersection of South Asian heritage and the music, fashion and visual languages she encountered growing up in Europe. Rather than treating those influences as separate identities, her music places them in the same frame.

Her recent output has increasingly established that world. Tracks including “Fire in Delhi” and “Hot Boyz” have moved between Indian classical influences, R&B, pop and heavier contemporary production, while her visual identity has become just as integral to the project. One of her most widely shared recent visuals saw her snowboarding through the Swiss Alps wearing a red lehenga, a deliberately striking collision of the cultural references that have shaped her.

“Honey Liquor” continues that approach without turning heritage into decoration. South Asian elements exist within the track alongside bass-heavy electronic production, while BombayMami’s vocal performance gives the record its attitude and sense of control.

TroyBoi is a natural counterpart. The London-born producer has spent his career avoiding particularly rigid genre definitions, developing a production style rooted broadly in trap but regularly moving through hip-hop, bass music and other global influences. His own Indian, Chinese, Portuguese and Nigerian heritage has similarly informed an approach in which different musical references are allowed to coexist rather than being separated into individual categories.

That crossover mentality has taken his productions well beyond electronic music. Previous work includes his remix of Billie Eilish’s “MyBoi,” music featured in Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty show and “RedEye” with Justin Bieber, alongside his Left Is Right album and V!BEZ series.

With “Honey Liquor,” however, the production stays deliberately focused. Rather than overwhelming BombayMami’s performance, TroyBoi creates enough negative space for her voice to drive the record. The result feels built around chemistry rather than two established identities competing for attention.

The release also arrives during a significant period for BombayMami. Her debut album, Peaceful Attitude, expands the world she has been constructing across music and visuals, bringing instruments including tabla and sitar together with multilingual vocals and contemporary production. Her international presence has grown alongside it, with appearances in the UK including BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, SXSW London and The Great Escape.

At the heart of that development is a refusal to choose between the different places and cultures that have shaped her. “Honey Liquor” doesn’t present South Asian identity and contemporary electronic music as opposing worlds that need to be reconciled. They simply belong within the same one.

And beneath the cultural collision, the message remains refreshingly straightforward: temptation might taste good, but don’t let it distract you from where you’re going.
