Damnshestamil

"Priya Ragu's songs move like time-lapse footage of a bustling city. The ever-shifting instrumentation is made from the free-form elements of alternative R&B, soul, pop and Tamil music while ambient samples whirl around, heavy beats bump up against pin-sharp melodies and moments of silence are frequently weaved in to add tension ... They often cycle through several forms in a matter of minutes, offering new, visceral discoveries at every turn. 'damnshestamil', [her] vibrant debut mixtape (...), reverberates with this sort of kinetic energy. The hooks are mighty and the arrangements are full of little pockets of exuberance, like the jubilant call-and-response harmonies on 'Lighthouse', the crackling distortion on 'Deli' and the twitchy drum machine samples on 'Anything' ... [The] different styles and textures find a sense of balance on the tracks where Ragu lets her radiant charisma and curiosity shine".

"Priya Ragu looks at music with a global vision. Celebrating a kaleidoscopic blend of instrumentation that highlights her South Indian roots alongside a plethora of Western influences, there's something incredibly special about the Tamil-Swiss artist".
