Mazha‘s melody is wonderfully dreamy, worth soaking in, with the sound carried from the composer’s earlier combo with Sachin. Haricharan and Roshni Suresh pull it off brilliantly. Kaana chembaka poo,...
Continue reading...Nimir (Music review), Tamil – Darbuka Siva and B Ajaneesh Loknath
Poovukku is a merely-pleasant song to resurface with the post-Gautham Menon form for Darbuka Siva. Even Vaazhum valluvarae is short and situational. But Siva stuns with Yaenadi! It could easily...

Continue reading...Kaly (Music review), Malayalam – Rahul Raj
The title song (Chunk chakkare) is authentically and minimally Kerala-folk style and stays true almost all through, with a foot-tapping rhythm. Kinnam katta kallan is strictly middling, but what is...

Trissur song, with its flashy brass sound, seems intentionally corny. Sannidanandan handles the racy sound well. Innale innale, sung by Niranj Suresh, is so very Gopi! A low-key, guitar-driven melody...
