The rising Tamil-Swiss artist Priya Ragu releases her long-awaited debut album Santhosam. Santhosam (the Tamil word for ‘happiness’) is a standout dynamic album which takes her raguwavy sound –simmering R&B, masterful pop hooks, earthy soulful vocals, 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 gorgeously varied musical textures 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.
