Harris rules!

The audio sale of ‘Chiyaan’ Vikram’s Bheema is very impressive. It has displaced Sivaji as the number one in sales and on ‘Radio Mirchi’ countdown!
This is Harris power in the audio market. Says a top music label chief: “Harris is definitely the number one music composer in Tamil cinema, basically because he takes time over his compositions and has something new in each album which catches the imagination of the listeners.”
In Bheema album, the number which has caught the masses is Rangu Rangamma…, the Kailash Kher, Vijay Yesudas and Swarnalatha which is said to be the item song in the film. What has made it popular is the drum beats in the beginning, which is awesome as a crescendo is built for the song.
The pick of the audio for Harris fans is Ragasiya Kanuvukal… and Muthal Mazhai…, both lilting melodies which may top the charts later, once the song video of the film appears on television. Harris does a lot of homework, before the final mixing. When we spoke to Vikram he says that all the songs are his favourite though Muthal Mazhai… is his pick.
What really makes Harris tick is that he does not take too many assignments at the same time. He picks and chooses his films and directors, and is very particular that he vibes with them. Remember Harris has just three films on hand at the moment- Vaaranam Aayiram, Sathyam, Dhaam Dhoom, while other music directors at any given time commits to 10 or 12 films at a time!
How can quality music evolve if you compose for 50 songs a year? Harris` policy of doing very few films at the same time being the costliest music director in Tamil has paid off in a big way!
