Santhan Anebajagane

Santhan Anebajagane—yeah, that name’s been popping up lately, especially if you’re the type who actually pays attention to music credits or scrolling through indie film soundtracks. If you’ve ever found yourself humming along to “Mei Poiyaaga” from 2018, that’s him. It’s got this honest, stripped-back vibe, mixing Tamil tradition with the kind of beats you’d hear in a smoky little club on a rainy night. Not everyone pulls off that blend, but Santhan? He makes it sound effortless. And then there’s “Pyaar Hi Toh Hai.” Released the same year, it’s one of those tracks that doesn’t try too hard. It just sits with you. Feels like flipping through an old photo album, if that makes any sense. There’s a gentle nostalgia, the sort you don’t even realize you’re missing until it hits you. The way he layers the vocals? Smooth as butter, honestly. But wait, he doesn’t just stop at music. “Nee Arikee - Cupid’s Arrow” is another 2018 project, blending a bit of romance with subtle storytelling. It’s like, you listen and suddenly you’re caught up in the plot without even knowing the language. That’s a rare trick. Santhan’s got this knack for making music that feels personal—like he’s handing you a mixtape with a note attached: “Hey, this one’s for you.” He’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill artist, and if you haven’t given his stuff a spin, you’re missing out.
