RISING AUSTRALIAN-TAMIL SINGER & SONGWRITER DHEE RELEASES NEW SINGLE “VARI VARI” OUT NOW

By DJ Doni Brasco • On What is New

On the pre­cip­ice of a major glob­al break­through, rap­idly rising acclaimed Aus­trali­an-Tamil sing­er, song­writer, per­former, and artist Dhee (Enjoy Enjaami, Rowdy Baby) unveils a brand new single entitled “Vari Vari” out now.

The song shores up her pos­i­tion at the fore­front of Tamil pop, extend­ing the diaspora’s reach into the main­stream. Head-nod­ding hand­claps hold the tempo as elec­tric gui­tar chords ring out. Her entran­cing deliv­ery instantly cap­tiv­ates, car­ry­ing an emo­tion­al and enga­ging chor­us across bor­ders and into the heav­ens. The track trans­lates the onset of new love into a sun-soaked anthem warmed by her spir­it and soul.

“This song is about someone or some­thing that’s gone and isn’t around any­more, a feel­ing that is lost. The whole song is the search for your­self that you might’ve lost on the way and try­ing to get that feel­ing back.”

Mag­ni­fy­ing her inter­na­tion­al influ­ence, H&M just selec­ted Dhee as the face of its massive “Red Stage” cam­paign, unit­ing her with GRAMMY® Award-nom­in­ated mul­ti­plat­in­um R&B phe­nomen­on GIVE­ON and rising star Abso­lutely. The new music ini­ti­at­ive emphas­izes the con­nec­tion between fash­ion, sound, and self-expres­sion by pair­ing estab­lished artists with buzz­ing tal­ent to rein­ter­pret hits. Dhee not­ably recharged and rein­ven­ted GIVEON’s smash “Like I Want You” by infus­ing it with Indi­an fla­vors. Thus far, the cam­paign has already incited the applause of WWD and more. “Vari Vari” fol­lows the release of “Ancient Seed” with Wond­agurl and Tiwa Sav­age and a fea­ture on Ed Sheeran’s “Don’t Look Down” with Hanumankind.

Dhee has quietly shined as a his­tory-mak­ing force of nature and one of India’s most impact­ful voices this cen­tury. Grow­ing up in Sydney, Aus­tralia, she even­tu­ally relo­cated to Chen­nai, India. Dur­ing 2014, she con­trib­uted “Naan Née” to the Indi­an action drama film Madras. She picked up trac­tion by cut­ting songs for oth­er movies, includ­ing Irudhi Sut­tru [2016] and Kaala [2018]. How­ever, she leveled up once again when she delivered “Rowdy Baby” for Maari 2 [2018]. The lat­ter exploded as the “most-viewed Tamil music video of all-time,” tal­ly­ing over 1.5 bil­lion You­Tube views and count­ing. 2021 saw her join forces with Santhosh Naray­anan on “Enjoy Enjaami,” gath­er­ing over 52.5 mil­lion Spo­ti­fy streams. With mar­quee spot on H&M’s “Red Stage” and her 2026 single “Vari Vari,” all signs point to a ban­ner year for Dhee.
