After an amazing talk about the legendary Janaki amma, this month series AAA has brought the 'Youth Sensation' Sid Sriram. An article attributed to him is like a "Talented article", you all know what I mean!! No late, lets' peep for what's in!!
'Sid Sriram' aka 'Siddharth Sriram' born into family of musicians is an ample of talent & a prodigy. He needs no introduction, any Tamil or Telugu song which streamed 100M views featured his voice for sure & which is the reason behind that majestic success. Do, you believe that any song that he sings is a sensation, why say any song, let's say anything that he sings is a sensation!! He is amazing for a reason.
Brought up in America, it's really difficult for any such singer to cope up with the south indian songs, but his songs are topping charts just like that! & if you think what's the reason behind it, it's nothing but his voice which is making everything happen. A singer grown in ocean of music & holding degrees from musical institutes like "Berklee College Of Music" is really dreamy.
One of the best quality in Sid is that, his "Voice", his god-gifted voice has the magical power to heal anyone from anything. More than his voice, he is noted for his knowledge. He is such a pro in Carnatic music, which makes him sing any song just like that. He is one such singer, who has got a very rare opportunity to perform at "Marhgazhi Utsavam" that happens in Chennai, every December.
Then speaking about his dominance in south-film music Industry, as I told it is his voice which is making everything happen!! No wonder if I say that his voice has mesmerized the legends Ilaiyaraaja to ARR & contemporary musicians Yuvan Shankar Raja to Anirudh. Every film, may be big or small wanted his song!! it's not a metaphor, but no astonishment in saying that every song that he sung or will sing was a sensation & will be a sensation & the internal reason behind such prowess is his voice & knowledge again. In no time he rose to fame but managed to emerge as a very successful singer. Inspite of odds, like his issues with diction, Westernized accent, monotonous way of singing, he is just hailed & praised for his renditions which depicted his style & only his style which is definitely unique & one big assert for his reign.
Now, after a huge & long introduction about the genius singer, let's look into 7 of his songs which made his career unrivalled.
01. Adiye
Movie: Kadal (2013)
Music: A.R.Rahman
Language: Tamil
If you heard this song & wondered about who sang this, then with no doubt it's Sid!! Rahman, is known for giving life to singers, he is one such composer off late who takes responsibility of the singers that he introduces, he supports them till they reach a particular height, whether it's Hariharan or Sujatha or Minmini then or Shahasha Tripati or Mohith Chauhan or Sid Sriram now. Sid Sriram, no matter where he is , he always takes pride in saying that he is a student of the legend ARR.
If Chitra had the fame of winning national award for her first song & rising into immense lime-light, Shreya Ghoshal had the fame of repeating the same, then Sid Sriram too has the fame of getting absolutely a brilliant applause from the audience for this debut work of him, this is such a rare feat & is achieved by only very few jammy singers like them. This is one song which surely makes into the list of his hit numbers. This song with his raw & rustic vocals tells that he is a singer of all genres.
02. Ennodu Nee Irandhaal
Movie: I (2015)
Music: A.R.Rahman
Language: Tamil
As I told, Rahman is one such responsible music director who takes care of his singer's success & this song is one such trail in signifying that his singer is worthy like anything!! Sid being a carnatic trained musician & a R&B song writer makes himself comfortable with everything that he sings. It's a cakewalk for him to sing such numbers. I think there is no fan of Sid who could say that he doesn't like this number of him, like the electrifying guitars in the interlude, Sid's voice evokes love for the heroine in the song. Magical vocals of Sid boost up the Maestro's composition. Like his favorite quote "All Love, No Hate" this song & that voice sums up to his quote.
03. Thalli Pogathey
Movie: Achcham Yenbadu Madamaiyada (2016)
Music: A.R.Rahman
Language: Tamil
If all the other composers made a mellifluous cover of Sid Sriram, Rahman is the composer who always extracted his raw & rustic voice with variety of genres. This song has a special place in every music lover's heart, for it's keen in music, lyrics & vocals. Till Aparna sings her alaap & ADK starts his rap, it's like a trans, Sid just takes the listeners through all the pain, then it's the occult harmony, we all know very well what Rahman does to it. This song & his voice- Unprecedented!!
04. Inkem Inkem Kavali
Movie: Geetha Govindam (2018)
Music: Gopi Sunder
Language: Telugu
This song will go on count it's views day by day, It's already 150+ views!!!! & all credit to the amazing singer!! Like people speak about matches made in heaven, this song is like a combination made in heaven (Sid's Voice + Gopi's Music + Chorus + Lyrics + VD & Rashmika's Chemistry). Truly Sid is a blessed soul, this song in Telugu worked like a magic & now he is more heard in Telugu than in Tamil!! Every new film wants his song recorded. Speaking about the song,there is a beauty in the song itself & Sid boosts the song with his kind of rendition. If we speak about his Telugu fans or fandom, then it all started here, with this number.
05. Undiporaadey
Movie: Hushaaru (2019)
Music: Radhan
Language: Telugu
If your'e in love his songs make you feel romantic, if youre' in pain his songs make you feel relaxed, if your'e happy then it's doubled with his songs, than in & all this is that voice & that is this song which prove the above facts. Sid Sriram has the greatest caliber to make his dynamics sound like dripping water, like he sings "కౌగిలే " in the song each time, heart skips a beat. Like I have been saying he is a youth sensation & whatever he sings is a sensation, this is ain't an exception at all. Even the unit wouldn't have expected such great response to this number!!
06. Samajavaragamana
Movie: Ala Vaikunthapuramulo (2020)
Music: S.S.Thamman
Language: Telugu
The most happening song of the tollywood. This song took everything by storm, this topped all the charts, playlists, music players & everything, show me a record that it hasn't broken!! Probably none!! For the first time, it is known that a singer's voice can change the faith of a musician. Sid has garnered such response for this song, that no other contemporary singer in Telugu has won till date. No wonder in saying that people bought tickets to watch this masterpiece play over there in theaters. Seetharama Sastry garu's lyrics got an uplift through his vocals in the song!! I'll speak less about the song, coz I cannot commit blunder by talking about the most talked song of the decade.
07. Unna Nenacchu
Movie: Psycho (2020)
Music: Ilaiyaraaja
Language: Tamil
Who is'nt a fan of the 'Isai Gnayni' Ilaiyaarayja, ten to one none. Then tell us, who doesn't fall in love with his melodies if he draws in Sid to croon his tracks, again in all likelihood none!! This song, Raaja's music & Sid's soul stirring rendition is on top notch & highlights of the film. If you have missed this, then you have missed a masterpiece itself, go do listen immediately.
That is the 'Amazingly about the Artist' Sid Sriram, meet you all next month with one more amazing artist!!
