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.
