Tamil selvi has a predictably pleasant tune while Yakka nillukka, with its routine rhythm and tune is plain boring. Even Yaaradhu and Aayiram thalaiyapaathu suffer from an acute sense of...

Pachaikili Muthucharam (Tamil – Harris Jeyaraj)
The same ol’ rhythm. Same ol’ chorus. Same ol’ Bombay Jayashree. Same ‘ol instantly likeable pop sound! That sums up Unakkul naan. Add a Madhushree version for some mild variety...
Continue reading...Muni (Tamil – Bharadwaj)
Bharadwaj, much like his Northern namesake, has always given us genuinely different sounding music, even though quality-wise the comparison pales. Muni again sees him using unconventional tunes wrapped in familiar...

There’s always a first time and I’m not going to let something as insignificant as my ego stand in the way. I’m not saying Oram Po is extraordinary. Just that...

Kannan varum velai has Madhushree continuing her anti-Tamil tirade, even though Yuvan’s tune is simple and catchy, with techno-psuedo-Dandiya rhythms. Between the lilting Kaadhal vaithu and Pogadhe, its difficult to...

Director Subramaniam Siva’s influence is apparent in Jigina, which is equally, if not more raunchy than some of the tracks in his debut, Thiruda Thirudi. Vedhaalam is another blatant attempt...
Continue reading...Periyar (Tamil – Vidyasagar)
Periyar’s soundtrack is a surreal time warp, consciously avoiding overt modern sounds. Yesudas’ Thaayum yaaro evolves from a soliloquy-styled beginning into a beautifully minimal orchestra. Thai thai and Kadavula carry...
Continue reading...Thaamirabharani (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Is Kattabomman supposed to sound like a powerful entry song? It is muted and lacks any kind of impact. Vaartha onnu takes from parts of Pattiyal’s Dei namma and seems...
