We are proud to announce that Hopeful Tragedy Records has established a partnership with award winning singer/songwriter/composer artist Raj Ramayya.
Spicy Beats is set for a release on December 4, 2020, the album concept is based on Raj’s passion for music and food. Sometimes Raj can be found remixing tracks with an Indian Electronic flare in The San Francisco Bay area sipping pinot noir and cooking curries. Other times, when he’s not in the studio (which is rare), you can find Raj cooking spicy dishes with his mom in Saskatoon or sourcing chili peppers in South Asia or drinking sake in Tokyo. For Raj music, food, drinks and traveling make the world go round.
Offered with the pre-release starting on October 30, “Long Gone Guru” is a Pop Rock and Funk track driven by edgy basslines, yet light and groovy drum beats, verses in the vein of Tame Impala with a catchy chorus that brings to mind Damon Albarn’s vocals with Gorillaz and instrumentation reminiscent of Beats Antique.
