Another year has come to an end and I'm happy for two reasons. One being actively blogged my thoughts on most of the music albums I've listened this year and another being listened to a lot of Malayalam songs which I was unable to do in 2014. Let's just list top songs across Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Indie albums which got released in 2015. Among all the music industry, Malayalam composers continue to churn out pleasant melodies in each movie.
I know the list will not be agreed by everyone...Feel free to give your valuable opinions and thoughts in the comments section.
Tamil:
Tamil music scenario is spectacular with a lot of young composers like Ghibran, Anirudh, Imman, Hip Hop Tamizha, Justin Prabahakaran and K delivered an enjoyable set of songs while many debutants like Ron Ethan Yohan, Sam C S, Leon James, Prashant Pillai and Amrit gave spell-binding songs in their debut album. Among the established composers Rahman steals the listeners with O Kadhal Kanmani while Harris Jayaraj continues to do his best with his minimal confined soundscape. Yuvan Shankar Raja doesn't have any endearing album this year apart from Yatchan. Another young composer I missed this year in action is Santosh Narayanan. Let's wait for Kabali to unveil his prowess as a composer.

Telugu:
Telugu music scenario is comparatively fluctuant in terms of music mainly because all big budget and mass hero films are filled with cliche sounds churned out by Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman occasional beautiful tunes notwithstanding. However fledgling music directors like Gopi Sundar, Sunny M R, Ghibran and Radhan showcases their prowess in respective albums. Veterans like Ilayaraja and M M Keeravani proves that still they can mesmerise and stay relevant to this generation music lovers with Baahubali, Abbayitho Ammayi and Rudramadevi. Another extraordinary album released this year is Kanche by Chirantan Bhatt and equal credit must go for Krish and lyricist Srivennela also.
