Hi @@NicoleSams, that’s so true and there are lot of black artists who are raising awareness against the racism faced by non-white folks on everyday basis. But this is the first time someone Pan Indian origins who stood up and showed the courage to speak up against this tyranny. And that’s what makes it more special
Being a fellow Swiss citizen, this is such a huge proud moment!!!! 🥹❤️ I remember back in the MySpace days when Priya used to do guest features for local Swiss Hip Hop groups as an R&B/Neo Soul singer. Now all these years later, after moving to the UK, she's been on BBC 1 Extra, been featured in Vogue, contributed a song to the FIFA 21 soundtrack...and now she's on Colors! It's been beautiful and inspiring to witness her rise and growth as an artist, she is the epitome of "don't give up on your dreams"! Not many Swiss artists have broken out and enjoyed international success, so this is special. Major shouts out to Priya and her brother (and producer) Japhna Gold...i'm soooo, so proud of you both! ❤️ This is only the beginning, it's a worldwide takeover, baby! 🔥🔥🔥
I've checked her age after reading this (because MySpace was a million years ago) and I'm mindblown that it's taking her so long to release her first LP.
*LYRICS:* every time we turn on the screen, somebody get screwed pullin out their hammer, nail a head like it is loose behead the black goose eh what is in the news eh vests are bulletproof cuz if we loot then they will shoot eh officer don’t shoot I got so much shit to do gotta get back to my family plus rent is overdue eh officer don’t shoot I got so much shit to do gotta get back to my family plus rent is overdue don’t you bring us down eyes up i just really wanna live i just really wanna breathe i just really wanna live yeah i just really wanna hah hah they will try to bring us down no no they will try to bring us down oh no i don’t care what they say i don’t care what they say we will find a way by any means that’s necessary we keep on sweating red just to pay the blue no protection, we get beaten black and blue we keep on dancing like there is nothing new stay alive to keep a dream a live like mr. martin lu eh officer don’t shoot I got so much shit to do gotta get back to my family plus rent is overdue eh officer don’t shoot I got so much shit to do gotta get back to my family plus rent is overdue don’t you bring us down - no no rise up - ye ye i just really wanna live i just really wanna breathe i just really wanna live yeah i just really wanna breathe they will try to bring us down they will try to bring us down i don’t care what they say i don’t care what they say we will find a way by any means thats necessary shoot, don’t shoot! shoot, don’t shoot! tanthane thanthane thanthanena tanthane thanthane thananananaa (2x) god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath father I finally feel you you wash my pain away now I feel at ease mother I finally see you you take my breath away feel like I’m at ease all of these lights they will set me free break out of this vessel just set me free protect my loved ones when you set me free tell them I love them I love them (2x) god let them breath god let them breath god let them breath Brahma I finally feel you thank you for returning me now I feel at home
She doesnt even consider herself srilankan, her family fled Srilanka during civil war on Tamil immigrants from India and her father encouraged her and her brother to learn music to help those in tamil nadu not srilanka
Cried when I first saw/heard this... And was blessed to see her Live in NH7 Festival in India a couple of days ago and had the honor of greeting her too - her and her brother blessed the world with their music.
Wow! She is now one of my favorite artists. Beautiful and talented. I like how she represents her culture so well in this song, but it touches all of us.❤❤
This whole song was a journey that hit me right in my heart and at my core, and I wasn’t expecting it! From the small sound bite I found this morning to playing this song on repeat, it has not stopped hitting me like a jet powered steamroller in all the best ways possible! This is so POWERFUL and I needed this! Thank you! 🙏🏽 Priya, you are nothing short of golden! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
ME AND MY OLDER SISTER ABSOLUTELY LOVE PRIYA RAGU AND THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD OH MY GOD. I LOVE THIS SONG AND LET ME BREATHE. LET ME BREATHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
Like a breath of fresh colorful tasteful strong beautiful AIR. Thank you. Color has really been spreading the best music from and to all around the world.
Hi Priya! I‘m so amazed by your voice, moves,style and message🤯 I connected to this masterpiece already! Mir sind mega stolz uf di🙏🏽 Dini nächsti Tour mit dem Album wird fire🔥Let‘s gooooo
Guys do check her mix tape "DamnShesTamil" it's dope🔥 My personal favorite tracks "Kamali, Lighthouse, Lockdown, Good Love, Chicken Lemon Rice, Illuminous" Her brother Roshan who goes by the name "Japhna" produces the beat❣️ A cool sibling duo🔥
This is why I watch Colors. It introduces me to new artists and new art forms in music that I wouldn't normally seek out! Thank you for this.
Dobre
YES!!!
Best fusion of Tamil Music and R&B/Soul music I’ve ever heard 🎉🎉
Takes a lot of creativity to get here
Not so much. The similarities are such that I produce this kinda stuff often as a Black artist. Tamil community all day.

they will try to bring us down oh no
i don’t care what they say
i don’t care what they say
we will find a way by any means that’s necessary
we keep on sweating red just to pay the blue
no protection, we get beaten black and blue
we keep on dancing like there is nothing new
stay alive to keep a dream a live like mr. martin lu
eh officer don’t shoot
I got so much shit to do
gotta get back to my family plus rent is overdue
eh officer don’t shoot
I got so much shit to do
gotta get back to my family plus rent is overdue

Love your work priya❤
❤
Being a Sri Lankan who grew up in Switzerland, this makes me extremely proud ❤ love you Priya
She doesnt even consider herself srilankan, her family fled Srilanka during civil war on Tamil immigrants from India and her father encouraged her and her brother to learn music to help those in tamil nadu not srilanka
Giving me M. I.A. vibes❤ loving every second🎉
I was thinking the same!!! I’m glad someone else said it! She is dope
They're both of Sri Lankan Tamil background, that's why we can hear the same Tamil sonorities ;)
Nah idk, Priya has something different to bring. She’s something else man. The way she sings and bring back verses is insane
Right I was like she reminds me of someone fierce then I was like MIA❤
@@kiran3065 Why does everyone compare Tamil artists? It's so annoying.
Omg, why did i get the chills? I enjoyed this! Do your thing Priya!!
Thank you!
Cried when I first saw/heard this... And was blessed to see her Live in NH7 Festival in India a couple of days ago and had the honor of greeting her too - her and her brother blessed the world with their music.
Wow that chorus was beautiful it brought me to tears.
That was dope🔥🔥 love her vibe. I’ll definitely be putting this song in the playlist
Wow 🤯 so many layers a pure experience! In only 4 minutes. I need to see her live !!!!
wow so glad to read this!!
Wow! She is now one of my favorite artists. Beautiful and talented. I like how she represents her culture so well in this song, but it touches all of us.❤❤
If I’m being completely honest here, this is absolute FIRE‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥 I’m definitely going to add this and a few more of Priya’s songs to my playlist!!
Thanks for standing in solidarity with Black America. We feel it.
she is coming from a background similar... we have felt the pain.... being not considered...
@@jazthing1 it’s called Black Goose.
Lmaoo, the rest of the world suffers from police brutality too yunno?
@@ndebewisdom4563 this is about George Floyd. So stay mad.
@@ndebewisdom4563 lmaooo, when YOU don’t know what a song entails.
It’s so nice to see a Srilankan Tamil prosper in the music industry 🚀
Pode me dizer mais cantores tâmil por favor?
@@Givingsunenergythe first who comes to mind is, obviously, M.I.A. But you probably already know her.
@@Givingsunenergy M.I.A , Priya Ragu, ELSZ, Pritt are all the musicians I know so far
