Harris Jayaraj Essentials (Tamil)

by Apple Music Tamil

Harris Jayaraj pushed himself to accomplish at the highest levels from an early age. His father—a guitarist and composer—began his Carnatic training when Jayaraj was just six. After scoring the highest marks in Asia for his 4th grade exam at Trinity College of Music in London, he launched a stellar music career as a guitarist, and A. R. Rahman and Mani Sharma came knocking.

After years steadily building a reputation as the go-to lyricist for Punjabi mainstays like Jazzy B, Bohemia and Jassie Gill, Karan Aujla stepped into his own in 2018.

Bollywood Hits: Best of 2024

by Apple Music Bollywood

Bollywood delivered plenty of earworms and spectacular songs in 2024—and showed us why there’s only one Arijit Singh. The singer dominated the year, along with several other hitmakers in Hindi film soundtracks.

Arijit Singh Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

One of the most distinctive male voices of contemporary Bollywood, Arijit Singh brings an intimate, husky timbre to breezy acoustic-driven pop and swelling, cinematic numbers marked by romantic strings and ethereal synths. While the playback singer's wheelhouse is the soul-stirring love ballad that marks many a heartfelt movie moment, Singh is a versatile performer who's as adept at poetic paeans as he is club thumpers, boisterous bhangra tracks, Punjabi folk and Arabic pop flavoured with his memorable vibrato.

Bollywood Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

Whether a comedy or a drama, the music and voices of Bollywood films have always had their constants: a desire to move the feet and the soul, and a drive to change with the times. These instant classics of the 20th and 21st centuries bolster traditional Sufi devotionals and bhangra dance breaks with Western instrumentals and classical flourishes. Alongside these powerful fusions are songs influenced by international pop and hip-hop, befitting India's ties with both its own medley of cultures and its diaspora.

Ilaiyaraaja Essentials

The ’10s saw a series of viral Tamil hits win legions of fans across India. Chennai’s greatest asset, filmi powerhouse A. R. Rahman, reached new romantic highs with the swooning, ’90s-laced soundtrack to Kaatru Veliyidai (2017), earning him a National Film Award for Best Music Direction. But the decade was also marked by young film composer Anirudh Ravichander’s meteoric rise. He debuted with a bang—the soundtrack to 3 (2011) included the folk-fuelled Tanglish smash “Why This Kolaveri Di”—and he followed up with a barrage of rap, rock and koothu-powered bangers featuring the likes of Dhanush.

’90s Tamil Essentials

by Apple Music Tamil

A.R. Rahman Tamil Essentials

The Weeknd Essentials

by Apple Music R&B

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face”, “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, feather-light and dead heavy. His music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with songs—“The Hills”, “Often”, “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)”, “After Hours”—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they’ll hate themselves for it later. And though the sound has gotten a little brighter over time (“In Your Eyes”, “Take My Breath”), the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much.

Diljit Dosanjh Essentials

by Apple Music Punjabi

The face and voice of Punjabi regional cinema since 2003, singer/composer/actor Diljit Dosanjh was born into a Sikh family whose musical heritage is often reflected in the two-sided mrdanga or pakhawaj drums that drive his music. He's a Punjabi everyman with a voice that can be devotionally strident (check out the heavy "Gobind De Lal”), but also possesses pop star fervour on club tracks like "Happy Birthday", a rollicking blend of Auto-Tuned vocals and sinuous keyboards.

’80s Tamil Essentials

Phonk

by Apple Music Tamil

Talk about pressure. When you’re the son of the most acclaimed composer in South Indian film music, the bar is set high—but this wild talent is more than up to the task. In-demand composer Yuvan Shankar Raja has delivered hit after hit in a range of South Indian languages. So we felt that fans of his Tamil songs deserved a special playlist all their own. Our in-depth collection features Yuvi’s most innovative compositions in Tamil.

Drake Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop

Drake officially became the voice of a generation with 2011’s sumptuous Take Care, a career-defining magnum opus that earned a prized slot in Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums list. Was he an R&B singer who rapped or a rapper who sang? Was he really that sad, or just exploiting a cultural preference for male vulnerability? Adding to the slipperiness of it all, any given Drake project might incorporate dreamy house and club music into his comfort zone of rap, pop and R&B with equal conviction. Even after cementing his prowess as an MC many times over, Drake still retains the capacity to surprise. His 2015 earworm “Hotline Bling” radiated universal cool without breaking a sweat, while 2024’s “Push Ups” arrived during his fleeting beef with Kendrick Lamar yet applies lasting heat to its minimalistic prowl. Drake is now such a part of the firmament that his slightest move can trigger aftershocks far beyond his immediate reach.

Lata Mangeshkar Essentials

by Apple Music Bollywood

It’s impossible to imagine Indian cinema without the crystalline, four-octave voice of Lata Mangeshkar. Since her breakthrough as a playback singer (dubbing songs for the characters onscreen) in the late 1940s, Mangeshkar, who died in February 2022 at the age of 92, recorded thousands of songs over the following decades, making her one of Bollywood's most prolific and revered female artists and earning her the nickname “the Nightingale of India”. While she was particularly active during the ’50s and ’60s, when local music had not yet experienced massive Western influence and was rooted in the traditional Indian styles of ghazal and bhajan, she worked extensively through the 2000s, and in 2001 was honoured with the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award. Explore her extraordinary range in this playlist of some of her finest work.

Seedhe Maut Essentials

by Apple Music Hip-Hop/Rap

Rapper Encore ABJ and emcee-producer Calm—two friends from the Delhi hip-hop circuit—announced their arrival as Seedhe Maut with a powerful resolve, teaming up with producer Sez on the Beat for “Seedhe Maut Anthem” in 2017. Since then they’ve moved away from English in favour of Hindi as their language of choice while retaining their firepower flow on verses packed with Indian pop-culture references. They also more than hold their own in collabs with the likes of Prabh Deep (their labelmate on Azadi Records), electro-pop artist Ritviz and rap star MC STAN as they make every bar count.

Tamil Kalyanam Hits

by Apple Music Tamil

It’s not a Tamil wedding until the nadaswaram bellows out or percussive instruments such as the thavil and mridangam add energising beats to the ceremony. In addition, pop and film soundtrack tunes go beyond the traditional, adding a modern flavour to the celebration of love and togetherness. This playlist includes many much-adored songs that seem just made for a fairy-tale kalyanam.

Lana Del Rey Essentials

by Apple Music Alternativa

Desde la nostálgica reinvención a la figura de la mujer fatal que hizo una Lana Del Rey postadolescente en Born to Die, hasta sus hipnóticos temas íntimos más recientes, esta selección muestra una de las evoluciones más ejemplares del pop contemporáneo. La fascinante frialdad y los tonos sepias de “Video Games” han dado paso a penetrantes confesiones emocionales que conectan con el pop clásico sin perder su misterio. Las mejores canciones de Lana Del Rey evocan una compostura perfecta que sólo se resquebraja con los vaivenes del corazón: unas veces como rotunda declaración de principios, otras como tormento y la mayoría como ambos.

Rap Life

by Apple Music Hip-Hop/Rap International

Diese Songs prägen die Hip‑Hop-Kultur von heute. Der Rapper Gunna aus Atlanta zeigt sich mit „pop it“ von einer ganz neuen Seite. Denn der Track besticht durch eine ungewohnt klare Produktion und eine energiegeladene Hook, die sich von seinem sonst eher lässigen Stil abhebt. „Rap Life“ wird regelmäßig aktualisiert.
