Krish, “Forever in Love”

Since his debut, back in 2006, with Harris Jayaraj’s Manjal Veyyil (Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu), Krish has sung on many film soundtracks and has grown to become a popular name in the field of playback singing, in India and beyond. Wanting to share more of his music with the world, he started working on a full-length album titled “Forever in Love”. In an exclusive interview, Krish gave us a preview of what we can expect from his new album. Check out Manjal Veyyil, and our interview below!

TamilCulture: Please tell us about your album.
Krish: This album is completely arranged in western melody. They are very romantic, slow songs. I always wanted to make a clean, soft album, so finally I did this. I’m happy about the way all the songs came out.

TC: Up til now you’ve primarily sung on film soundtracks—what made you decide to release a full-length album of your own?
K: I’ve been singing only on film soundtracks, but this time I decided to do something of my own. This will be my own identity.

TC: What can your fans expect to hear on this album?
K: My fans can expect, and feel, clean, romantic songs. It is different from the other songs I’ve sung because my voice and style were not restricted.

TC: Will “Forever in Love” feature any collaborations?
K: It’s purely my own solo album, but great legends have worked on it. Grammy winner Sam Wheat and Tim mixed and mastered my album in London. I have also worked with few Western musicians.

TC: After debuting as a lyricist on the “Kanden” soundtrack, did you write any lyrics for your album?
K: I wrote just one song on my album. All other songs were penned by the great Gangai Amaren.

TC: Who composed the music for the album?
K: Mr. Vijay Ebenezer who composed for both “Kanden” and “Masala Cafe”.

TC: Have any artists inspired or influenced the songs on this album?
K: I’ve always admired two people in my life, for their talents: Elvis Presley and Marc Anthony.

TC: When can your fans expect the release of your album?
K: The product is completely ready. The release date might be the end of May and it will be on iTunes as well.
