No, not another young artiste!
The sweet and delicate yet bright voice has gone silent. Swarnalatha was an identifiable voice in an ocean of voices. She was an expressive and versatile singer. Soft love songs, cute teenage songs, item songs, haunting sad songs, folk tunes,... she has sung them all and have sung them true to the genre and with emotion. That is who is called a playback singer. Swarnalatha was one of the last of the kind of playback singers of that traditional mold. Most of the other female singers of that kind have either retired from playback singing or have passed on.
For someone born in Kerala and raised in Karnataka Swarnalatha's Tamil was flawless. The melodies in her honey-soaked voice are a delight. But the rapidly changing trend of TFM and its fancy for fast beats and hip-hop music did not do her any favors. She still was a trooper. She kept conquering the trend and marching ahead until her health failed her.
Swarnalatha's stay may have been short. But because of her the air is sweeter and TFM richer forever.
