Kannada music today constitutes primarily of the movies of Karnataka. The latest hit fresh new releases of kannada songs mp3 can be obtained from various sites online for free download or in return of paying a small fee. These sites provide with all the new Kannada movie song mp3, hit Kannada pop songs, Kannada devotional songs or bhajans, lyrics databases, videos, video clips, and remix Kannada song mp3 free download.

The Kannada movie music today ahs western influences on the traditional folk and classical form of Kannada music. The music directors have now mixed western genres like reggae, hip hop, Rap, disco, R&B, techno etc with the original classical Kannada music.

AR Rahman is a force to reckon with not just in the Kannada music industry but also in the Indian music industry. His songs have gone on to have a cult iconic status of their own. Other famous music directors are Mano Murthy, Jassie Gift, Bharathwaj, Gurukiran etc.

Many hindi mainstream singers like Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Udit Narayan etc. are now singing Kannada songs.
A list of my favorite new Kannada songs is:

1. O Henne Ninagendufrom the album Hetthare Hennanne Herabeku
2. Ee Sanje Yaakagide from the album Geleya
3. Kannasalle Mathuduve from the album Geleya.
