Yaayum song from Sagaa crosses 5 million views on YouTube

Yaayum from the upcoming film Sagaa has crossed five million views on YouTube released by Think Music label. It has been praised for its use of the 40th poem from Sangam literature’s Kurunthokai anthology. It is a remarkable achievement given the fact that the film does not boast of any known stars and the composer is a debutant. The song marks Shabir’s debut into Tamil cinema as a composer. 

Shabir Tabare Alam, known mononymously as Shabir recently also won Singapore’s highest national honor for youth, the Singapore Youth Award. The Singapore government confers the award to individuals who are below 35 and have exhibited excellence in their field of work and have also contributed to society through their work. Shabir will be the first music artist of Indian/Tamil descent to win the award in its 41-year history. He received the award from the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore, Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

Shabir has previously won the Kannadasan Award, Asian Television Awards’Merit Award, and Pradhana Award twice, for his outstanding music and songs in Singapore and the South East Asian region. In 2012, Shabir received praise from the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong for his Tamil song, Singai Naadu. Shabir has signed more Tamil films in recent times and looks forward to continuing his work in music and the Tamil language. His next release will be Sanguchakkaram. The film is expected to hit the big screens on December.
