Thalangama was widely admired for his ability to craft meaningful words that seamlessly blended with memorable melodies, making him a sought-after collaborator among contemporary music producers. He often worked with Charitha Attalage, and his lyrics became the backbone of several modern Sinhala hits performed by artists such as Supun Perera, Ridma Weerawardana, and Pratap.

His lyrical genius shines through in popular tracks including:

• Soya Awa

These songs, among many others, have earned dedicated playlists and continue to resonate deeply with audiences, reflecting his unique ability to capture emotion, culture, and storytelling through words.

Thalangama’s contribution to Sinhala music is regarded as transformative, bridging traditional poetic expression with modern soundscapes.
