"THE ALBUM IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS - THE SOUND IS BEING PLANNED AS ORGANIC WITH ELECTRONIC SOUNDSCAPES AS WELL. I WOULD WANT TO MAKE IT MORE VISUAL, THAT'S THE VISION BEHIND IT."
TO UNDERSTAND Indian music in all its uniqueness and diversity, one must pay close attention to what is happening in the south of India. Amrit Ramnath, a 25-year-old singer and composer based out of the city of Chennai, has taken the industry by storm.
Beginning his career with Tamil hits such as "Oorkuruvi" and "Nila", the young maestro has now taken to the big screens with the announcement of him being the music composer for director Vineeth Sreenivasan's 2024 film Varshangalkku Shesham. Rolling Stone India got the unique opportunity to speak with Amrit Ramnath to explore his journey as a classically trained vocalist and musician, while taking the much-needed respites to test his creativity in as many different forms as he could.
Rolling Stone India: Your earlier covers with fellow violinists really stood out, and then there's your track Manase, which seemed to mark a turning point in your career. Can you share more about the inspiration behind Manase and how it shaped your perspective on love and relationships?
Amrit Ramnath: "Manase" was one of my first independent songs and it delves into the complexities we face in our late teens and twenties, especially regarding love, friendship, and personal security. The song explores the conflicting voices in our minds and the journey of embracing and overcoming them. The music video aimed to visually represent this inner conflict and the ethereal nature of the song.
