Irumbuthirai (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja

Athiradi is more posturing than a cohesive song, though that retro-style interlude (Vanmurai pazhi) is a nifty touch. Ditto with Yaar ivan – less of a ‘song’ and more background’ish. Mudhal murai is good at places – the anupallavi is really melodious and that nadaswaram-phrase is smart work by Yuvan, but something seems off, overall. Angry Bird is painfully outdated, with cringe-worthy Tanglish. But, Azhagae is a splendid song! Trademark Yuvan-style slow-burner melody that he—thankfully—doesn’t sing and lets Arun Kamath and Jonita handle beautifully. After decent work in Semma Botha Aagathey and Balloon, this is a step down for Yuvan.
