Pathinaru Vayathanile (transl. At the age of sixteen) is the debut studio album by T. S. Muralidharan, released in 2001.
Production
[edit]While in school I even had a troupe called 'Black Snow'. And it was quite popular. When the chance to sing for a private album came, I ventured into it. It was a different experience.
The music for the album was composed in 1998.[2][3] Manoj Bharathiraja sang six songs of the album, which marked his playback singing debut.[4][5] Meena also made her playback singing debut through the album after being approached by Manoj.[5][6][7] The album was named after the 1977 film of the same name, which was directed by Bharathiraja, Manoj's father.[7]
Release
[edit]Ajith Kumar and Vikram attended the audio release function in 2001 as the chief guests.[8]
Track listing
[edit]All of the songs were composed by T. S. Muralidharan.[9][a] The lyrics were written by Pushpavasagan.
