From Keba’s racy electric guitar, DSP moves to a corny cornucopia of Ganesh chanting and folk rhythm in DJ, a background’ish mish-mash. Gudilo badilo is heady masala mix! Incredibly catchy,...

Yugabharathi’s enjoyable colloquial lyrics, Velmurugan’s vocals and GVP’s judiciously-understated rhythm prop Sandalee‘s gorgeous melody. GVP makes brilliant use of a folk riff in Uruttu kannala and adds a beautifully structured...

Jonitha Gandhi rocks Ela thelchaali, though the trio’s music is only pleasantly rock’ish, at best. Kaadhal kaadhal, with its energetic electronic sound and Clinton, Krishna Iyer and Farhad’s singing, hits...

Jubin’s Ik vaari aa (credited to Pritam) sounds less like an electronic pop compared to JAM8-credited Arijit version, though both tunes are merely functional. Looks like producer Dinesh Vijan really...

Ceylon silku nila is almost a Mysskin item song, with a male chorus raucously singing around a yellow-sari Ceylon lady. The tune’s Latin/Baila base, Chinmayi’s vocals and the peekaboo rhythm...
