Yohani Collaborates with Edward Maya
To Release EDM Track “Diamonds”
South Asian pop music sensation, Yohani announced an international collaboration with Romanian artist, Edward Maya to release the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) track “Diamonds.”
The announcement follows the successful launch of Yohani’s debut album, “Kella,” which is currently topping local charts on Youtube and music streaming platforms.
Edward Maya, the first Romanian artist mentioned in the Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 in the USA with his hit record “Stereo Love,” which peaked at number 16 on the Hot 100 is a global phenomenon with several hits to his name including “Desert Rain” and “This is My Life.”
“Diamonds” emerges as a dance-pop masterpiece, combining the rich musical heritages of Romania and Sri Lanka. The collaboration is a testament to the universal language of music, bridging geographical and cultural divides. The lyrics, crafted by Dorian Micu, Miruna Iova, Adrian Eduard Radu, and Dilanjan Seneviratne, delve into the depths of love’s ephemeral beauty, mirroring the characteristics of diamonds - bright, precious, yet capable of fading away. The track beautifully encapsulates the essence of a fleeting yet intense love affair, paralleling the brilliance and transient nature of a diamond. “The collaboration between Edward Maya and Yohani is a milestone in not only Yohani’s musical journey as an artiste with Sri Lankan roots taking the uniqueness of Sri Lanka to the world but also for the local music industry. This is a first in terms of an international collaboration between a multiplatinum track record and an artiste with Sri Lankan heritage.
I’m excited to have had the opportunity to work on the business end of this collaboration with Creator Records and also have had the chance to receive a writing credit on the track,” commented Dilanjan Seneviratne, Founder/ CEO of SUMEGHA (Asia) and Business Manager for Yohani.
