Ilayaraja's path breaking Thiruvachagam is releasing on June 30th. It is a devotional album, with the songs of Manickavasagar. All the compositions except one have been sung by Ilayaraja himself. According to Ilayaraja, his life's purpose on this earth has been fulfilled because of this body of work!! Here is his interview in the hindu.
Ilayaraja composed and sang the Janani Janani song in a divinely beautiful way. I cannot wait to listen to a full fledged devotional album from him.
I truly wish i could meet Ilayaraja just for a second, and say "thank you for your music". Ilayaraja's lilting compositions have enriched my life so much.
I could have had a dead-boring day at work, with a lonely evening at home ahead. I can get caught in the middle of a 5 mile traffic backup on the highway. But, all that I need to do is play an Ilayaraja song on the car stereo, and I am transported instantly. My spirit soars high above the backed up cars and I am instantly transported right to the heart of beautiful Tamizhnadu and I am home!
