Anthony Daasan notwithstanding, Baby baby is underwhelming. Hey Umayaal is a lilting melody that’s packaged beautifully with Vijay Yesudas’s vocals. The Unplugged version is a good listen too, with Achu...

Orange Mittai (Music review), Tamil – Justin Prabhakaran
Vijay Sethupathi seeks inspiration from Dhanush for writing Straight ah poyee. Justin Prabhakaran tries his best to fit the nutty lyrics in some form, but fails miserably, thanks also to...
Continue reading...Avam (Music review), Tamil – Sundaramurthy KS
Thevaiya almost seems to be asking itself if this stylish noise is necessary to prop MC Vickey’s throaty outburst in the name of singing. Kamal Haasan’s Kaarirule, a rather simplistic...
Continue reading...Papanasam (Music review), Tamil – Ghibran
Yeya en kottikkaaraa has an easily appealing tune harking back to Kutti Puli’s Aruvaakkaara. Ghibran’s musical layering is impeccable, and Sundar Narayana Rao seems to be vocalizing Kamal Haasan’s voice...
Continue reading...Rajinimurugan (Music review), Tamil – D.Imman
The title song, with its bordering-on-Middle-Eastern Vakulabharanam raaga base is made more interesting with the prominent brass sound. Sivakarthikeyan delivers it pretty well. Un mela oru kannu, despite breezy vocals...

Actor Aadhi seems fairly in-tune in the reggae’ish Sokkana ponnu, though his diction is occasionally atrocious. Papparapampam is passable, with it using a droning template with outdated rap phrases. The...
Continue reading...Maari (Music review), Tamil – Anirudh
Maari thara local places enormously misplaced trust in the manic, folded-tongue kuthu rhythm and forgets bothering with the tune. Thappa dhaan has a half-decent, predictable tune and again depends inordinately...
Continue reading...Trisha Illana Nayanthara (Music review), Tamil – G V Prakash Kumar
Yennachu yedhachu owes its existence heavily to Minsara Kanavu’s Vennilave vennilave, and it’s not just the Keeravani raaga base! GVP goes full-on local kuthu for Bittu padam di and that...
Continue reading...54321 (Music review), Tamil – Joshua Sridhar
Nenjamae en nenjamae has a steady, thrumming rhythm and a easily likeable low-key melody that Haricharan and Harini deliver admirably well, complete with really nice semi-classic portions in the interludes....
