Sarvam Thaala Mayam (soundtrack)

Sarvam Thaala Mayam (English: Omnipresence of Rhythm) is the soundtrack album, composed by A. R. Rahman for the 2019 Tamil film of the same name, directed by Rajiv Menon that stars G. V. Prakash Kumar and Aparna Balamurali in the lead roles. The film album incorporates six feature songs all together, excluding instrumental tracks. The film's director Menon has also composed a song which Rahman has curated.

Development
Rahman began composing for the film in early 2016 and by May, it was revealed that two songs had already been completed. As the film was "music-based", Menon required all of the songs to be completed before production began and by November 2016, Rahman had finished composing nine songs for the film and composed parts of the background score. The film's songs have lyrics written by Madhan Karky, Arunraja Kamaraj and Na. Muthukumar, who worked in the film before his death in August 2016.

Reception
