Priya Ragu will share her debut mixtape damnshestamil on September 3rd on Warner Records; Her new single “Kamali,” is inspired by a short film of the same name by director Sasha Rainbow,who also directed the music video. It explores the story of Suganthi, a single mother living in a small village in India raising her daughter, Kamali.
“In so many ways I could relate to this little girl,” says Priya. “Growing up, we look at the world with curiosity and envision infinite possibilities without any limitation. For a lot of us, these possibilities and dreams get blurry by the way the roles of men and women are dealt out. It is culturally rooted in ancient traditions where we are only good enough to become wives and mothers. This still exists! I want to speak to all the Kamalis in the world to think bigger than that, to look further than that.”
