Singer Arivu interview | Valliamma Peraandi | Enjoy Enjaami | Bigson

Two years after ‘Enjoy Enjaami’, now embroiled in court cases and conversation about compensation, and five years since his first runaway hit album Therukural, rapper-composer-musician Arivu gears up to release his new album Valliamma Peraandi with record label Sony Music India.
Here, the 12 songs belong to different genres, themes and vibes. Think EDM at a thiruvizha, an impactful drill number on untouchability, a wordless mediation on the origin of language for the early man, four love songs with lyrics from Malayalam and Punjabi, and a diss track titled ‘Block Panniten’.
The artiste spends time at The Hindu, Chennai speaks about his alter ego, being wary of collaborations, and life after the chart topper ‘Enjoy Enjaami’.
