"Illuminous" is Priya Ragu's first new single since releasing her debut mixtape damnshestamil in September last year, and is accompanied by a Silence-directed video.

Priya Ragu says of the new release, "I believe we are all beings of light. It’s a journey that starts before we enter this world and continues while we have this human experience, and then remains 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. Once you have found that, 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. Apart from all that, it’s also a turn up song, so you know what you gotta do!"
