Priya Ragu announces her debut album, SANTHOSAM
The album is launched alongside the new single "Vacation", which was premiered on Radio 1 as Jack Saunders’ Hottest Record.
SANTHOSAM, which is taken from the Tamil word for ‘happiness', was crafted in collaboration with her brother and producer Japhna Gold.
Speaking of the new single, Ragu says it "came about while we were touring and writing at the same time. We just reached a limit. We were exhausted from all of the travelling, creating and never really being home, so we booked a flight to India. But it’s not just about being a pop star or being creative. Even when I had my office job, I was lost in that. That song is a reminder of how important it is to give yourself a break, to step back, let loose and allow yourself to recharge your batteries.”
"Vacation" follows on from the previous singles, "Easy" and "Adalam Va!", which will also feature on the forthcoming album. Priya Ragu says SANTHOSAM is "my story of finding happiness. It helped me find my purpose in life. Maybe it will help others, too.”
The debut album follows on from her 2021 mixtape, damnshestamil.
