Adangaa Pidaari has Shankar Mahadevan toying with a frivolous, MCP’ish number and beyond the catchy backgrounds, MGR illeenga is largely flippant. Eppadiyo maattikitten takes Tamil hip-hop ahead and showcases Yuvan’s...

Music review: Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puraavum (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Muthathu pakkathil is Vaadi en kappakezhange version 2.0 – with the same verve and loutish charm, while the choice of singers, Javed Ali and Bela Shende, along with the Raja’esque...
Continue reading...Music review: Ayan (Tamil – Harris Jeyaraj)
Pala pala’s pace and appealing rhythms makes up for the slightly routine tune, while Mahati and Harish Raghavendra rock the hushed, ambient melody, Nenje nenje, that is soaked in the...
Continue reading...Music review: Indira Vizha (Tamil – Yatish)
With gimmicky and obvious rhythms, Mogama is only mildly interesting and KV Mahadevan’s Vasandha Maaligai classic, Oru kinnathai has been mauled beyond recognition in its exceptionally noisy and messy remix....

Enadhu uyire, despite all the superfluous sweetness, is actually quite ordinary, much like the seemingly catchy Hawai theevil, that sounds like a 90s track badly inspired by some Harry Belafonte...

Mudhal murai’s melody is very pleasant even as the ambient backgrounds add tremendous value while Vennilavu is clearly inspired by Yuvan’s music – the likeable tune twists and orchestration are...

Siragindri parakkalaam is a poor attempt at recreating reggaeton’ish sound, complete with rap phrases à la Dharan, while Boom is annoying in every department. Hip hop hurray’s Spanish twang definitely...

The reuse of Raja’s own, very-ascetic Pichai paathiram, with Madhu Balakrishnan almost doing a Yesudass and Sadhana Sargam’s divinely serene Amma un pillai (Maatha un kovilil, the original, features as...
