It's been 13 Months since we've last heard a New Song Composed by Harris Jayaraj. His last Album for Spyder, starring Mahesh Babu released on 9 September, 2017. This Period is the Longest Break in his Musical Career, spanning 52 Movies since his debut film Minnale in 2001.
Harris Jayaraj has had the Greatest Impact on Tamil Cinema Music after A.R.Rahman (post Ilaiyaraaja Era), under whom he worked as a Programmer before venturing into Independent Music Direction.
Gautham Vasudev Menon provided him the Entry Ticket to Cinema with Minnale. The Album was a Hit with “Vaseegara” gaining Immense Popularity and he won the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director in 2001, Breaking the 9 years Consecutive Record (1992-2000) set by A.R.Rahman, from Roja to Alaipayuthey.
Since then, the GVM - Harris Jayaraj Combination has been one of the best, Churning out Winning Albums like Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, Vaaranam Aayiram and Yennai Arindhaal. He has Collaborated with Director Shankar twice, with Anniyan notably being his Best Background Score Work yet.
Of all the Actors he has worked with, his Collaboration with Actor Suriya has been Magical with Sensational Albums like Kaakha Kaakha, Ghajini, Vaaranam Aayiram, Ayan, Aadhavan, 7aum Arivu and Maattrraan.
His Most Underrated Album is Engeyum Kadhal, starring Jayam Ravi and Hansika. A Breezy Romantic Album, it consists of Earworms like “Engeyum Kadhal”, “Thee illai”, “Lolita”, “Nenjil Nenjil” and “Dhimu Dhimu”.
Of all the Musical Genres that he has worked in, Jazz is his Favourite. The use of Gibberish Words at the start or in the middle of his songs is his Trademark Style.
Harris opened a new studio called Studio H. The studio consists of the latest audio recording systems and technology. The first song to be composed in the studio was Halena from Iru Mugan. The S3 soundtrack was entirely composed in this studio and all his future projects will be completed in Studio H as well.
His Upcoming Movies include GVM’s Dhruva Natchathiram which had an Impressive Sound Mix in its Teaser, Dev starring Karthi, Rakul Preet Singh and the KV Anand - Suriya - Mohanlal Multistarrer.
From “Vaseegara” in Minnale to “Suttum Vizhi Sudare” in Ghajini to “Anbe En Anbe” in Dhaam Dhoom to “Nenjukkul Peidhidum” in Vaaranam Aayiram to “Hasile Fisile” in Aadhavan to “Halena” in Irumugan to “Wi Wi Wi Wifi” in Singam 3, Harris Jayaraj has given us some Memorable Songs over the years and let us wish him a Swashbuckling Second Innings which is soon to begin after this brief hiatus.
