Rashmeet Kaur on objectification of women in music: Only shallow people relate

The dynamic singer and performer Rashmeet Kaur, celebrated for her powerful fusion of folk and contemporary sounds, recently shared her strong perspective on the persistent issue of the objectification of women in the music industry. During an insightful interaction following her high-energy concert at Delhi’s Hindu College for the Mecca ’26 festival, Rashmeet emphasized that the responsibility of an artist is profound because they hold a platform that thousands of people look up to for inspiration. She noted that while many songs today still rely on derogatory themes and the objectification of women, she believes that the current and upcoming generations are far more aware and discerning than they are often given credit for. The singer expressed confidence that today’s youth have the intelligence to identify when lyrics are disrespectful, and as a result, they do not hold onto such songs for very long, moving instead toward music that offers genuine emotional value and meaning.

Rashmeet was particularly vocal about how audiences connect with music, stating quite candidly that only shallow people relate to objectifying songs where the focus is solely on a dance beat rather than the substance of what is being said. She explained that her own musical journey, which includes hits like Bajre Da Sitta, Nadiyon Paar, and her more recent releases like Faqeeran and Sherni, is rooted in creating an impact that is both uplifting and moving. For Rashmeet, an artist should function like a leader; if a performer uses their massive following to promote unnecessary or derogatory thoughts, they are missing a crucial opportunity to guide their audience in a positive direction. She observed that while “hype culture” might briefly elevate certain problematic tracks, the songs that truly endure are the ones with impactful melodies and lyrics that respect the listener’s intelligence.

Beyond the lyrical content, Rashmeet also touched upon the broader industry dynamics during a recent “Women in Music 2026” roundtable, where she discussed the ongoing gender gap in live performances and festival lineups. She pointed out that despite massive streaming success and loyal fanbases, female artists are still less likely to be booked as headliners at major festivals compared to their male counterparts. This imbalance, she argued, affects everything from an artist’s earnings to how they are perceived by the public. Rather than dwelling on these inequalities or “cribbing” about the state of the scene, Rashmeet has chosen to prioritize her independent releases and creative control, focusing on her upcoming “Sacred Sounds, New Worlds” debut in Vancouver and continuing to innovate within the Punjabi folk-revival space. Her journey remains a testament to the idea that staying true to one’s roots and maintaining artistic integrity is the most effective way to combat shallow industry trends.
