Na.Muthukumar’s beautiful lyrics adorn the gorgeous melody in Aananda yaazhai, sung fabulously by Sriram Parthasarathy. Yuvan’s work in the interludes is almost Raja’esque – brilliant! Along with the director’s annoying...

Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Two chronic off-key singers – Yuvan and STR – get together in Oru porambokku, elucidating the virtues of shunning alcohol, in a foot-tapping, street-smart package – appropriately lively! Konjum kili...

There is no other way to say this – Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal deserves a 200. My initial 100 was based on 5 songs (released in CD). I loved Aaha...

Oru kannil is routine hero-introduction; template of a tune comparing the hero to a wild flower! Naresh Iyer manages to infuse some life into Azhago azhagu but it seldom rises...

Yuvan is in his standard form, in his vocals and the music, in Unakkagave; funky melody with now-likeable off-key singing. Mazhai mazhai is Yuvan of Paiyyaa form – instantly catchy...

Mellasirithaal kadhalthan is typical Yuvan solo; minimal techno backgrounds and a melody that has Yuvan stylishly going off-key with the help of auto-tune – addictive, as usual! Udit Narayan’s Machi...

Chakri’s Ninnu choodakunda is painfully boring, despite a star voice like Adnan Sami, who sounds strangely off-tune. His Pillandham keka keka is no better – awkward faux-Punjabi start and a...

Gangster, beyond the glitzy sound, is annoyingly repetitive and familiar; not to forget the downright silly lyrics. Yedho mayakkam is no different – the template is shockingly stale, with Thirumoorthy’s...
Continue reading...Vettai (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Dham dham rehashes that typical Lingusami-style family song with absolutely no extra effort, while Damma damma goes the same way – yet another Dhaavani potta deepavali. If Kattipudi enna works,...
Continue reading...Rajapaattai (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Laddu laddu makes up for the middling tune with its hyper-enthusiastic, raw percussion and orchestration that goes straight back to Ilayaraja’s heydays! The same applies to Podi paiyyan where Yuvan...
