ThirumaLi Steps Into Romance With ‘Kulasthree’, Blending South Indian Sounds With R&B | Regional Cinema News

ThirumaLi steps away from his signature conscious rap to deliver Kulasthree — a romantic, soulful track blending South Indian influences with Western R&B.

When rapper ThirumaLi first heard the beat that would become Kulasthree, the words “I’m in love with a Kulasthree” came to him instinctively — a spontaneous freestyle that set the tone for one of his most tender and introspective tracks yet. From its inception, the song carried a romantic and soulful undertone, capturing the purity and almost divine nature of affection toward a woman — a love that lives more in imagination than reality.

A Song Four Years in the Making

Interestingly, Kulasthree was created nearly four years ago in collaboration with producer Thudwiser. At the time, both artists believed its melodic rap and slow-paced rhythm might not resonate with audiences who were more accustomed to high-energy hip-hop. But as the musical landscape evolved and listeners became more open to experimentation, ThirumaLi felt the moment was right to finally share the song with the world — confident that its emotional depth would find its audience.

A Step Beyond ThirumaLi’s Comfort Zone

Known for his sharp lyricism, biting wit, and socially conscious themes, ThirumaLi has built his name as one of the most distinctive voices in South Indian hip-hop. However, with Kulasthree, he steps into unfamiliar territory — romance. While he has long admired love songs, the rapper admits he often doubted whether his voice suited the genre. The track thus became an artistic challenge, allowing him to explore melody and vulnerability in his own style.

A Blend of Cultures and Sounds

Musically, Kulasthree fuses South Indian influences with Western R&B textures, creating a soundscape that’s both nostalgic and fresh. The song stands out for its emotional honesty and unique sonic blend — a rare crossover that bridges cultural sounds while remaining deeply personal.

A New Side to ThirumaLi

With Kulasthree, ThirumaLi reminds listeners that hip-hop can be just as tender as it is powerful — and that sometimes, love’s truest form is the one born from imagination. The track marks a beautiful evolution in his artistry, proving that even in rap, there’s room for softness, melody, and soul.
