Harris rocks

Harris Jayaraj seems to have emerged the undisputed king of Tamil film music, for the second consecutive year. Last year, if it was the "Ghajini" album that topped the charts and ring tones, this year, it is "Vetaiyadu Vilayadu". Over 1.5 lakh audio and CDs of the album have been sold and the `Manjal Veyil... ' song is the number one ring tone of the year — an achievement at a time when the audio industry is in the dumps! In Andhra Pradesh too, the audio of "Sainikudu" has become a hit even before the release of the film. Today, Harris is able to make a film get an opening just on the strength of his music. Watch out for "July Katru", Harris' new album (of the Jeeva-directed film), which has peppy songs that are sure to rock.
