NW1W. Anything more will be a waste of time. Keywords: Whatever. Blah.

Aayiram Vilakku (Music review), Tamil – Srikanth Deva
NW1W, well, barring the marginal effort the composer puts in Rathiye. I look forward to the day when I write something charitable for a Srikanth Deva soundtrack. Keywords: Santhanu Bhagyaraj,...

Strictly NW1W, but I’m willing to go out on a limb and add Noorandu vaazhga as the only thing worth in this soundtrack. Pleasant melody that has Imman doing something...

Thaman unleashes his usual arsenal right upfront in Thiki thiki – builds the simple tune gradually and gets really better as it progresses; singers Ranjith and Megha are in great...

Nadamadum sudukada has interesting orchestration, but is mostly exaggerated. Paarvai undhan has Vasundhara Das’s enticing vocals and a Yuvan-like alluring tune making lovely use a repetitive chorus’ish phrase. Vaanam engilum...

NW1W!! After decent work in Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu and Kola Kolaya Mundhirikka, that’s a complete shocker!
Continue reading...Chikku Bukku (Music review), Tamil – Hariharan & Leslie Lewis
Beyond its very, very Leslie’ish Indipop sound, the title song is a catchy, groovy listen. Oru nila has a delightfully crafted tune, almost in the early Rahman style, and Chandrayee’s...
