Aha mazhaiyum illai makes fantastic use of Maand raaga and along with Haricharan and Hamsika Iyer’s vocals and lilting rhythms makes for a superb listen! Its reprise uses the saxophone...

Pizza II: Villa (Music review), Tamil – Santhosh Narayanan
Boomilyil is in Santhosh’s usual style but the use of guitar and violins is different this time, and Pradeep Kumar’s singing of this soft melody is excellent! Disco woman seems...

En veetula‘s highlight is clearly Lalithanand’s absurdly hilarious lyrics and the way Gana Bala sings them with complete sincerity – superbly funny combination! Yaen endral goes through the motion like...

Modern kalyanam works with its spritely pop sound layered with occasional nadaswaram+thavil mix, and funky vocals by Nikita and Megha Harini. Mella sirithai is dulcet in the truest sense, with...
Continue reading...Vanakkam Chennai (Music review), Tamil – Anirudh
The way Anirudh employs Ananthkrrishnan’s violin in the folksy Osaka, and Balesh’s shehnai in the more modern Ailasa for essentially the same time is a lovely contrast! Hey is more...
