Aaluma doluma is lyricist Rokesh’s show, with Anirudh layering it with a mesmerizing techno sound. In Veera vinayaka, the composer seems to be using Vakulabharanam raaga to a hypnotic effect,...

Mellisai (Music review), Tamil – Sam C.S.
Vellai kanavu is a simple, evocative melody that Sam orchestrates in a likeable manner, along with Hariharan and Harini’s vocals. In Lola, Maria Kavitha Thomas’ stellar singing elevates the Bond-like...

Amrit writes Sarakka, a gaana, and sings it pretty well, for a familiar tune that gains from his little musical nuances and funny lines. Mora saiyyaa sees Amrit get mighty...
Continue reading...Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (Music review), Tamil – Anirudh
Starting with just guitar, Anirudh builds on Thangamey‘s sound progressively well, particularly a really well-placed violin solo by Ananthakrishnan. The tune is phenomenally engaging, including an anupallavi that goes interestingly...

Kuiyyo muiyyo has a lively, rhythmic tune, accentuated by the hook and Ranjith & Vandana’s singing, besides Na.Muthukumar’s lines (Pakistan army pol border’a minjariye!). Naan pudicha is standard-issue thavil &...

Anjezhuthilum plays like a carefully designed prayer song, with Kiruthiya’s lyrics and Haricharan’s deliberately pronounced pitch-perfect singing adding to the piety, before ending in a frenzy. The hip-hop’ish theme song...

Sittham is very, very Prashant Pillai – ambient, haunting and a simple, ethereal tune sung by Preeti Pillai. The song’s remix adds more intriguing electronica in the background, and for...
