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.

Best fusion of Tamil Music and R&B/Soul music I’ve ever heard 🎉🎉

Takes a lot of creativity to get here

[djsoulchild]

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! 🔥🔥🔥

*LYRICS:*
every time we turn on the screen, somebody get screwed

i just really wanna live
i just really wanna breathe

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

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!

you wash my pain away

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
Brahma I finally feel you
thank you for returning me
