Priya Ragu

TAKA (Caribou Remix)

Ashburn

The rising Tamil-Swiss artist Priya Ragu emerged as an essential new artist with her vibrant debut mixtape ‘damnshestamil’. Heralded with highlights including a BBC Sound Poll nomination, a show-stealing TV debut on ‘Later… with Jools Holland’, and a feature on Jungle’s ‘Loving In Stereo’ album, songs such as ‘Good Love 2.0’ and ‘Chicken Lemon Rice’ inspired a wave of interest in what she would do next.

Now that moment approaches as Priya prepares to release her long-awaited debut album ‘SANTHOSAM’. It’s a record which takes her singular raguwavy sound – simmering R&amp;B, masterful pop hooks, earthy soulful vocals, hip-shaking dance beats, and the warm tabla rhythms, and spiralling melodics of Tamil music – to even more adventurous heights. Defined by Priya’s contagiously positive spirit, it pulsates with swaggering braggadocio, gorgeously varied musical textures, triumphant disco bangers, and urgent political themes. Once again crafted in collaboration with her brother and producer Japhna Gold, it’s an album that originates from Priya’s quest for self-discovery. It’s aptly titled, too: ‘SANTHOSAM’ being the Tamil word for happiness

‘SANTHOSAM’ is available to pre-order or pre-save now.

Never shazamed a tune faster lol

When you lose 5-0 in fut champs but this song comes on

What I love about this song is how at first it sounds like a good but relatively traditional western style vibey pop song, but it adds layers and layers of south Asian influence in a wonderful way, until by the end is has transformed into a brilliant fusion mishmash of sounds with traditional instrument sounds (tabla drums, sitar,, maybe a santoor?) and voices and harmonies dropped in a pretty magical way.

I&#39;ve never heard such a unique voice different from any other artist in the game rn<br>She is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23dope">#dope</a> .

Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh you like it, when I sizzle like that
This “takata” is a riddim like that
Saraswathi* force, win ting like that (*Saraswathi: God of art, music)
Brown skin tone, peng ting like that

And I  like to jump cuz the beat like that
Therukoothu, HD like that (*therukoothu:street theatre, where songs are played in dance and music in storytelling the epics)
“Allez, allez haute - ce soir sera lit” (*french for, lets turn up, tonight is going to be lit)
Tell a fam, it's a hit
Slu wine with the hips (*slow wine: dance)

Chorus:
Cuz when we dance we gon move the sun
Can we dance even in the fall ye ye
For the love we’ve ever known
For the love we’ve ever known
Can we dance even in the fall ye ye
 
Verse 2:
Uuuh matchi it all comes down tonight (matchi: buddy)
Bring your sauce talk, do you talk that spice ?
Flavours how mix you know “chicken, lemon rice”
Me no seek ice, no me no seek ice!
Damnshestamil only his type
Wake all day he wake all night
I don't wanna play if his game aint right…
Flavours how you mix you know “chicken, lemon rice”

If you wanna dance through the night say yelelo
If you wanna live in the now say yelelo
If you feel the vibe singalong say yelelo
If you see the love of your life tell em yelelo (*yelelo: fisher would sing on the sea, while fishing)

Outro:
If you a badgyal, go and take it take it
To the top, you gon make it make it (repeat)

Priya Ragu - Chicken Lemon Rice (Official Video)

I believe we all are beings of light. Before we have entered this world, while we have this human experience and after we leave this earth. I also believe that we all have this one true unique gift, that could bring us back to our true selves. And once you have found that one thing that is called passion, the light within you shines so bright that you become invincible. This is how I feel at this stage in my life and with this song I want to encourage others to find that one thing.

Lyrics

Get down get down
If you a fly one you can come a round
One in a milli and they tryna figure out
This for your city if you with me play it loud
You know the amo, on the top with a bow and a arrow
Pull up to the club sayin hello
You know the name is damnshestamil

21s mvp
Nobody like me
Blessings blessings blessings
All come from life lessons
Aanna know whats next? keep guessing
Go time, no time for questions
Throat chakra on show off
Steppin out slowmo you can see the glow up like

Yeah
I'm supanova you know I'm coming for ya
Yeah
When you see me roll up, you know I'm takin ova

My light shinin bright so illuminous 
Enough to blind your eyes
If you didn’t see me then bet see me now
Oh man, I love my life (2x)

Oh they no they can’t stop this
I see they tryna copy
Im jay z, you can’t jock me
Whoo I control the cockpit
Take off, see me take off
I put the work in, no days off
Dream long and that’s real
Team strong 

Coz I just signed my deal 
The whole menu put it on the bill 
Keep it trill all day
You know the feel
Ain't gotta thank me it’s no big deal

Oh baby, I'm so high we can't be eye to eye
No matter what you aim is you can't kill my vibe
Now I'm bossed up I don't have to justify
Cause I've been working for day & night

Yeah
You see the glow up you know I'm takin over
Yeah
When you see me roll up, you know I'm taking over

My light shinin bright so illuminous 
Enough to blind your eyes
If you didn’t see me then bet see me now
Oh man, I love my life (2x)

Lyrics
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Thinking 'bout when the sunset is to bless another day
Did I dream about you?
Cause your the first thing that comes to my mind when I'm awake Boy you had me from the beginning
Can't deny we fell in love like shooting stars
We were young, we were reckless
Champagne toast on us for breakfast
We were Gods, we were restless
And we both knew that we were blessed with...

Good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believe that with you, we could, take off, to the, end of, the world
Really really found that good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believe that with you, I feel, we could, take off, to the, end of, the world, cause we found
(Good love, good, good)


Oh my god, boy got me feeling like a star
In the coupe with the top down bumping Good Love, oh my god 
They don't really want it with these bars
Show off, double up
I'm aligned with the eye
Heart signs in the air, make ’em dance to this
It's the queen in the house, I'm advanced for this For your lighthouse, Imma buy some land for this Lay sand, plant trees, got a plan for this, ya heard
Boy you had me from the beginning yeah
Can’t deny we fell in love like shooting stars We were young, we were gifted
Can't hold us down, we stay uplifted
We were Gods, they can't mess with
And we both knew that we were blessed with...

Good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believed that with you, we could, take off, to the, end of, the world
Really really found that good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believe that with you, I feel, we could, take off, to the, end of,the world , cause we found
(Good love, good, good)

Boy you got me caught in this good love, good love, good love
With you, I feel, we could take off... good love, good love, good love
with you, I feel, we could take off....
Fell in love with you (repeat) Can we last forever...

Priya Ragu - Good Love 2.0 (Official Video)

This goes out to all my beloved viewers. Thank you all for watching, showing love and supporting me on this journey. 

In 2019 someone sent me the link of the short film Kamali and wrote: you have to make a music video with her. The movie is about a seven year old girl, Kamali, the only female skater in Mahabalipuram in India who goes against the grain and takes ownership of her life with the support of her mother. I was so moved and inspired by her story and sent it right away to my brother Japhna and told him to watch it. A day later he called me up saying how he wrote this song with tears in his eyes. Kamali. 

In so many ways I could relate to this little girl. Growing up, we look at the world with curiosity and envision infinite possibilities without any limitation. For a lot of us, these possibilities and dreams get blurry by the way the roles of men and women are dealt out. It is culturally rooted in ancient traditions where we are only good enough to become wives & mothers...where our life's purpose is to fulfil our duties of raising our children and taking care of the household. This still exists! I want to speak to all the Kamalis in the world to think bigger than that, to look further than that.
If we can birth life, imagine what we can create if we are fully off the leash?! With this song I want to be another crack in the cycle, so that one day we can fully break it together.

Verse 1:
omg here's another for you baby
you’ve been on my mind lately
never seen a force like this 
never heard a tamil like this

they cannot believe
how you have faith in me 

Hook:

en kaiyil ellame sollu ni
(go and say, that you have control over it all)
ni sonnal un vaazhkai vellum di
(if you say so, you are in it to win it)

Verse 2:
lock all your hopes away
lock all your hopes away
what we tell them, we say: ey!
kick and push over these lanes
they don't wanna see these waves 
we make make way
 
they will sell a dream on a screen ye ye
tell you all the tales about how you've been saved
they don't see these waves that we create
go make way ye ye

Bridge:
ah un varthai palikum amma
(your words will become reality my dear)

Priya Ragu - Kamali (Official Video)

I was outside the studio one day and Japhna was working on this new beat. I stormed straight in to find out what he was working on - I was convinced it was a banga. We immediately started to write out the lyrics and before we knew it we had the track completed that day.

Priya Ragu - Adalam Va! (Official Video)

For this video I always had a vision in my mind of two dancers spiritually and physically connected by their movements but separated by a barrier between them. It’s a good metaphor for how a lot of people have been feeling over the last couple years, with a ton of built up love and energy, being held down by a higher force, and finding new ways to communicate.

The director Dumas Haddad, the realest G, has taken that idea somewhere even deeper. It’s more than just a video about lockdown, it’s a video that speaks to anybody that has ever felt isolated or surveilled in their own environment, and still find away to break through and express themselves, making sure their voices are heard, and letting others know they are fighting for them.

Lyrics

Shutdown is a lockdown in the midtown can we get down (2x)

Don’t leave me now
I really like our hang outs
can we get a bit closer
and move into in the moonlight

Who's at that door
Is it you I do adore
and the fact that you came alone
isolation got me bored
get me
-
play that record, 
we got nowhere else to go
you and me until the morning
replay let’s get it on

don't leave me now
I really like our hang outs
can we get a bit closer
and move into in the moonlight

stay, stay for a while
keep me company for now 
I don’t like to be left alone
Times like these are hard to cope
get me

Who else we got
i don't care if this ain't love
once the world reopens up
i don’t mind to walk out of

Don't leave me know I really love our hangouts
come a little bit close
a little bit closer
now don’t go and leave me 

don't leave me now
I really like our hang outs
can we get a bit closer
and move into in the moonlight

Stay with me. Tonight
can we get down so stay 
can we get a bit closer
and move into in the moonlight

If I had one choice tonight
I’d lock myself in heaven with you
can we get bit close tonight
So we can hear the heavens whisper

Lyrics: 
verse 1:
always see you come around my way
you wonder if I even know your name
I see it written all over your face
it's in your eyes
you can hide it for so long  

pre hook:
I see just what your on
no need to hold your tongue         
if it's me than why not get what you want
I see just what your on
no need to hold your tongue         
if it's me than why not get what you want

hook:
oh we can make it so easy
but we keep moving slow
playing make believe
like we don't feel the same
oh can we make it easy
cuz you and I together
together for better

verse two:
tell me why I feel some type of way 
for someone who's so innocent
these thoughts of you won't fade
I let down my guard and left without a trace
can you see it
can only hide it for long

pre hook:
I see just what your on
no need to hold your tongue         
if it's me than why not get what you want
I see just what your on
no need to hold your tongue         
if it's me than why not get what you want

hook:
oh we can make it so easy
but we keep moving slow
playing make believe
like we don't feel the same
oh can we make it easy
cuz you and I together
together for better

bridge:
just make it easy on yourself
can we make it easy
just make it easy on yourself
can we make it easy

hook:
can make it so easy
but we keep moving slow
playing make believe
like we don't feel the same
oh can we make it easy
cuz you and I together
together for better

Lyrics 
time out, just to find out
sign out, I need to wine down
forgot, who I was, how I was
lost in the madness

no rest, even when the lights out
like birds do - I need to fly south
good lord come down set me free

I think we just need to slow down,
why we always so loud loud
I don’t wanna loose that feeling
I just wanna healing healing

slow down why we always so loud loud
far away is so appealing
all I know is

I need a vacation
just a little break from 
all the extra baggage
been weighing me down

let's cut the conversation
meet me at the station
I'm throwing up the deuces
cause we're leaving this town

too much noise in my life now
ignore the phone let it die down
gotta find out
who I was
how I was
done with the madness

I gotta switch up my old lifestyle
live a little more when I'm outside
it feels so good to b free

I think we just need to slow down,
why we always so loud loud
I don’t wanna loose that feeling
I just wanna healing healing

slow down why we always so loud loud
far away is so appealing
all I know is

I need a vacation
just a little break from 
all the extra baggage
been weighing me down

let's cut the conversation
meet me at the station
I'm throwin up the deuces
cause we're leaving this town

FORGOT ABOUT

I have seen faces I've been places 
if i could fly into different spaces
this way I might forget about your existence?
 
thought you would play a role in my world, 
either as best friend or my lover,
yet I am standing here  in the lost in the mist of time

I think about you quite often,
wonder what you've been up to,
missing your laugh from time to time

sometimes I reread our convos,
just to be close to you
a bond so rare to find so quick to loose

you forgot about me
you forgot about us
I wanna know, how you came so far
I forgot about you
I forgot about us
I'd be lying if I said that I forgot. 

did you think about me at all
or happen to wait for my calls
come think of it its a been year

you talked about your women,
emotions were slowly blinding
still i cant forget about you at all

I think about you quite often,
wonder what you've been up to,
missing your laugh from time to time

sometimes I reread our convos,
just to be close to you
a bond so rare to find so quick to loose

you forgot about me
you forgot about us
I wanna know, how you came so far
I forgot about you
I forgot about us
I'd be lying if I said that I forgot. 

tell me something that will make me forget so i can be free
tell me something that will make me forget so i can be free

Lyrics
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Thinking 'bout when the sunset is to bless another day
Did I dream about you?
Cause your the first thing that comes to my mind when I'm awake Boy you had me from the beginning
Can't deny we fell in love like shooting stars
We were young, we were reckless
Champagne toast on us for breakfast
We were Gods, we were restless
And we both knew that we were blessed with...

Good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believe that with you, we could, take off, to the, end of, the world
Really really found that good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believe that with you, I feel, we could, take off, to the, end of, the world, cause we found
(Good love, good, good)


Oh my god, boy got me feeling like a star
In the coupe with the top down bumping Good Love, oh my god 
They don't really want it with these bars
Show off, double up
I'm aligned with the eye
Heart signs in the air, make ’em dance to this
It's the queen in the house, I'm advanced for this For your lighthouse, Imma buy some land for this Lay sand, plant trees, got a plan for this, ya heard
Boy you had me from the beginning yeah
Can’t deny we fell in love like shooting stars We were young, we were gifted
Can't hold us down, we stay uplifted
We were Gods, they can't mess with
And we both knew that we were blessed with...

Good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believed that with you, we could, take off, to the, end of, the world
Really really found that good love
Boy you got me caught in this good love
I really believe that with you, I feel, we could, take off, to the, end of,the world , cause we found
(Good love, good, good)

Boy you got me caught in this good love, good love, good love
With you, I feel, we could take off... good love, good love, good love
with you, I feel, we could take off....
Fell in love with you (repeat) Can we last forever...
