Abhay Jodhpurkar and Karthik do a great job in their respective versions of Gnayiru dhinangalin, a wonderful guitar-led melody, punctuated by lovely violin too! En ulagam does something similar with...

Appuchi Graamam (Music review), Tamil – Vishal Chandrasekar
En karunchingama is insanely catchy, thanks to the groovy guitar the composer layers over the corny, but instantly likeable tune. And then there is Gana Bala’s vocals – cracker of...
Continue reading...Athithi (Music review), Tamil – Bharadwaj
Shutter moodum nerathile, a sort of a gana, is woefully outmoded, with a bland hook to boot. Its Club mix is even more pointless. Solla solla ullamengum can hardly go...
Continue reading...Ennathan Pesuvatho (Music review), Tamil – D.Imman
Sriram Parthasarathy’s pleasant voice seems perfect for the lovely melody of Tholaivil irukkum, with Imman’s Ilayaraja’ish sound, and nifty touches like that santoor. Imman’s arrangement is phenomenal in Nenje nenje...

Aathangara orathil – Harris Jayaraj tune bank, 2007; Gana Bala’s singing does make a difference, besides MC Vickey’s rap and assorted burping sounds. Latcham calorie – Harris Jayaraj tune bank,...

Takkaru takkaru seems like a tacky remake of Ram-Leela’s dandruff-song, Tattad tattad, and it’s a perfunctory fit for a hero-introduction song. With its Coldplay-like sound Oh oh nadhigal oda is...

Anju pathu is vintage Deva style gana that channels Chandrababu afresh in a catchy avatar. Adiyae flowerae is a surprise, coming from Deva – the piano in the opening sequence...

Ambala singam has a showy tune and orchestration, not to forget the kick-ass chorus! The tune, at its base, is vintage Ilayaraja, but with a more showy pop sound and...

Yaemaarum janame’s ambient sound is instantly enticing. Sean’s vocals too, besides GKB’s hard-hitting lyrics and the the guitar usage. In Verichodi ponathada too, guitars play a huge role, though the...
