Another year ends. Another annual music round-up! Milliblog’s 7th annual music round-up, to be precise. A couple of broad changes. I’m not going to make the lists really long (with...

Vai Raja Vai (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Vandha kadha is Yuvan’s turn to pull an Anirudh – punchy techno gana, obviously powered by Gana Bala! Pachchai vanna has a gorgeous melody, though Yuvan’s package, despite the tantalizing...
Continue reading...Tevar (Music review), Hindi – Sajid-Wajid & Imran Khan
Superman‘s manic rhythm and aggressive sound work well, and Wajid’s singing accentuates it too. Radha nachegi‘s sound is almost hammering, but the tune has spunk! Madamiyan would make Salman Khan...

Achu’s jazz’y turn in My dear sweety and rock ‘n roll turn in Chirigi chattayindi are fantastic! The composer delivers the former’s funny lyrics really well himself, with brilliant orchestration...
Continue reading...Tamizhukku En Ondrai Azhuthavum (Music review), Tamil – Thaman S
Sattunnu enna has sounds and chorus usually associated with Thaman’s music, but the tune is gentle and litling, unlike many of his recent song. Hariharasudhan offers his endearing vocals as...
Continue reading...Kappal (Music review), Tamil – Natarajan Sankaran
Oru cup acid is a bizarre combination of odd lyrics and an even more odd tune that tries to force fit those lyrics – everything seems forced about the song....
