Priya Ragu - Chicken Lemon Rice [Video]

Directed by Dumas Haddad, watch the eclectic, dance and colour filled video for Priya Ragu’s ‘Chicken Lemon Rice’.

With a nod to Priya’s Sri Lankan heritage, the bright, bold visual challenges preconceptions of gender and tradition, resulting in a joyful and triumphant celebration of togetherness, self-expression and culture that reflects the positive message of the funky, energetic tune. Produced by Priya’s brother, Japhna Gold, ‘Chicken Lemon Rice’ is replete with jerking beats, an Eastern-leaning EDM aesthetic and rich, vibrant, mood-lifting melodies. Basically it’s an absolute vibe!

Priya Ragu reflects on the single: “‘Chicken Lemon Rice’ is a celebration of unity and diversity. It’s here to commemorate all the beautiful cultures of the world. The world is not black and white, it’s colourful. We can come together and still be ourselves whilst celebrating different heritages and learning from each other.”

Producer Japhna Gold summarises, “Now more than ever, it is so important that we hold on to things that make us happy. Dancing is meditation, singing is meditation. We are all connected whether we like it or not. This song is our dopamine for your soul - pull up!”
