Emerging Tamil-Swiss artist Priya Ragu shares the final remix of her label debut single, “Good Love 2.0,” by iconic DJ Honey Dijon today via Warner Records. The track follows remixes by Swedish electronic music group Little Dragon  and Joe Goddard of Grammy and Mercury Prize-nominated synth-pop group Hot Chip; check it out above. “It’s really exciting to remix brand new artists at the start of their journey,” says Honey Dijon. “Priya has a vibe.”

Priya says: “I’ve respected Honey for a long time so for her to remix my track was incredible. My father was even dancing along in our living room to the mix the first time I showed him. Big Love Honey x.”

Priya Ragu was born and raised in Switzerland after her parents escaped from the Sri Lankan civil war in the early 80s. Music was always a big part of her family life growing up, and despite early musical ambitions, she struggled to relate to anyone she admired in the industry. She couldn’t sing as high as the playback singers in the Kollywood films and no one in the Western pop charts looked like her. The Fugees proved to be the turning point as her influences quickly broadened.

Although now incredibly proud and supportive of her career, Priya’s parents initially didn’t want her to listen to Western pop and were keen for her to get married as she reached adulthood. Eventually she quit her job as she wanted to put everything into music and decided to move to America for six months. Needing somewhere to stay, her friend, the rapper Oddisee, offered Priya his Brooklyn studio. Sending song ideas back and forth to her brother and producer Japhna Gold, the pair created a number of tracks whilst she was there and the work continued when she returned to Zurich, where Priya currently resides. More music from Priya is imminent.
