Tamil-Canadian rapper Shan Vincent de Paul teams up with award-winning composer and producer Santhosh Narayanan in their epic new hit "Neeye Oli". One of two singles to be featured in the upcoming dramatic sports film "Sarpatta", "Neeye Oli" is an anthem about perseverance while encouraging listeners to embrace their inner greatness. Its "Eye of the Tiger" vibe captures fan's attention from the very start with an epic lyrical collaboration from Tamil artist Navz-47. Their verbal jabs pair perfectly with Santhosh's high energy instrumental, transporting listeners directly into the boxing ring. The film "Sarpatta" will premiere on Amazon Prime this summer - it will be the first ever sports film by Acclaimed Director PA Ranjith. Featuring A-List actors like Ayra and Pasupathy, its anticipated success is expected to put Tamil-music on the map, with Shan, Santhosh and Navz-47 front and center.
In the video, we witness a celebration of Toronto's diversity through fashionable clothing designed by St. Lucian fashion designer Kyle Gervacy and his personal stylist Zola Zee (Jamaician) who coordinate their respective cultures where couture meets the ancient past and avant garde intersects with traditional gowns. All parties currently live in Toronto. In "Neeye Oli", the various cultures that represent Toronto have created a vibrant atmosphere to highlight the Tamil diaspora. The video's energy is contagious as it brilliantly brings the core feeling of the "Sarpatta" film to life.
