STR gets ample support from Thaman to smoothen his off-key singing in Maaman machan, even as the soaring guitar elevates Viveka’s friendship-extolling lyrics. Uyiril uyiril is a punchy, captivating tune,...

Rendavadhu Padam (Music review), Tamil – Kannan
Adutha paruppu is kuthu banter in line with the film’s heavy-duty lampoonery. Vijay Prakash, Velmurugan and Mukesh seem to be having solid fun singing it! The parody tone is intact...
Continue reading...Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Two chronic off-key singers – Yuvan and STR – get together in Oru porambokku, elucidating the virtues of shunning alcohol, in a foot-tapping, street-smart package – appropriately lively! Konjum kili...
Continue reading...Nirnayam (Music review), Tamil – Selvaganesh
Nivas’s vocals elevate the already anguish-laden tune in Kannil oru thuli, while Selvaganesh orchestrates it wonderfully well. Etho maayam has lovely interplay between Karthik and MM Manasi’s vocals and...

Kuru kuru has a brilliant violin base that makes it seem so much like a song from composer K! But, as the song gathers steam, Ghibran leaves his stamp mighty...

It’s hard to believe that Agalaadhe and Poyum poyum are from Thaman! With their minimal orchestration, lilting tune modulations and gibberish chorus, they sound almost like Harris Jayaraj’s. Edhathaan kanduttey...
Continue reading...Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum (Music review), Tamil – G V Prakash Kumar
Aavarangaatukulla has a pleasant tune, but rehashes the ghatam-based sparse folk sound once in vogue, kick-started by Rahman. Pothi vecha and Nariga uranga hold textures similar to Rahman’s Taj Mahal...
Continue reading...Madha Gaja Raja (Music review), Tamil – Vijay Antony
Chikku bukku could well be a standard Ilayaraja song but for the gibberish and guitar that Vijay Antony inserts at places – folksy and catchy! My Dear Loveru tells us...
