When the whole TamilNadu drools over the music of Yuvan Shankar Raja, in the lines of A.R. Rahman and Harris Jayaraj, there is one person who was, is and will be favourite music director forever. The name is Vidhyasagar.
There was a period when Rahman’s golden hits were making the whole India dance to his tunes. That was when exactly I got introduced to Vidhyasagar’s music. There is always more importance given to rhythm in his music more than beats and metals. Even a fast number will have a melody quotient in his music.
He was always good except that he was not lucky. Until Dhil of Vikram-Dharani combo happened, he was a less noticed name in the field of Tamil Cine music. After Dhil, there was no looking back for him and today he is one of the top music directors in Tamil Cinema.
You can expect a complete musical album from Vidhyasagar with all moods… A few to mention are:
1) Uyirodu Uyiraga
2) Ghilli
3) Dhool
4) Nilaave Vaa
5) Chandramukhi
6) Iyarkai
He has used many talents like Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam, Harish Raghavendar etc early in their career before they became popular through Rahman and Harris Jayaraj. His music is simple, he makes simple tunes that even common man can sing along with. And above all, words are not lost in his music, you can enjoy beautiful Tamizh in many of his songs.
Be it Kuthu songs in which he is an expert(Appadi Podu, Pamabara kannu), Carnatic style(Kanaa kanden, Aalankuyil, Raa Raa) or Romantic melodies(Nee Kaatru, Anbe Anbe Nee en pillai)… I always find his music soulful. He has never disappointed me with any film. He is simply great!!!
