Ranina Reddy’s seductive vocals gels with Maalai mangum neram’s sedate tune; it does offer an enchanting combination that impresses almost immediately. Golimaare is no doubt peppered with a funky, massy...

Kanchana (Music review), Tamil – Thaman S
Raghava Lawrence’s personal influence in the lyrics of Nilli nillu (he is credited for the lyrics) is apparent and even Thaman’s tune has a quaint, rhythmic charm, despite the overall...

While Kola kuthu has shades of Manikanth Kadri’s recent Ring Ting (Udhayan), this insanely pulsating Mayamalava Gowlai-based kuthu is simply stunning! 24 Mani Neram is just a notch below, but...

Anitha’s vocals on Senga soola kaara is highly reminiscent of Nityashree Mahadevan’s range; along with getting the vocals right, debutant Ghibran also gets fabulous support from Vairamuthu who pens lyrics...

Kaiya thoda at best has a leftover Yuvan sound with lazily assembled kuthu beats, but Oru naal vidumurai apes the Yuvan sound brilliantly; lovely tune, fabulously sung by Haricharan and...

Unnai pirivena starts off normally, but as the tabla-based accompaniments kick-in, the tune gets interestingly unpredictable. Violins replace tabla in Selladhae jeevane, but the tune goes uneasily haywire unlike the...

The spruced-up version of Oram Po works with all the mild technological masala added by Raja since the base is so bloody solid! Sikkikichu is a brilliant trip back to...
