The composer covers love in all its colours, styles and emotions
What Tamil movie soundtrack composer Yuvan Shankar Raja brings in sonic diversity, he doubles down on with thematic range. That’s certainly clear when it comes to his love songs as he consistently infuses a youthful humour into his OSTs as well as a melancholic depth whenever a film’s narrative demands. His gorgeous ballads include “Idhu Varai” from 2010’s Goa and “Aathadi Manasudhan” from 2012’s Kazhugu, although there are countless more. Listen to our selection of his most memorable heartfelt earworms below.
