Oru maalai neram…neat flute phrases, but tedious tune. The pathos-laden Theivam illai…even more so! That leaves us with just two more songs in the soundtrack and that’s where Yuvan scores...

Thillalangadi (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja & Thaman S
Ding ding has an infectious charm, with catchy orchestration and likeable kids’ chorus that mostly accompanies Jeyam Ravi, while Chitra’s portions in Sol pechu are outdated, even as Yuvan and...

Yuvan’s own vocals in Oh Shala is just what one expects from the composer – a soft, lilting tune, played with an interesting rhythm that vanishes selectively. Oru vaanavillin pakkathilae...
Continue reading...Baana (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
Assuming Yuvan-sung songs as a separate genre, Thaakkudhey kan thaakkudhey has him trying, successfully, a faster-than-his-usual tune, amidst craftily composed backgrounds. Paithiyam pidikkudhu is trademark Yuvan; one that is immensely...

Aim lagaa‘s Rikshaw mix has a particularly nice retro’ish touch that sounds notably better than the plain version – rapper Blaaze handles the singing and composing parts admirably well. Bombay...

After eulogizing the hero, Yuvan takes Tamil music to the next level by singing his own name, in the helpfully titled, ‘Introduction‘, amidst a psychedelic package! Poo mudhal and En...
Continue reading...Music review: Paiya (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Yuvan tries his Sandakozhi-sound again in Adada mazhaida, besides inserting his favorite folk bit he has already overused in Where is the party – unnecessarily. Despite the punchy rhythm, Suthudhe’s...
Continue reading...Music review: Yogi (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Despite Snehan’s occasionally funny lyrics, Seermevum koovathiley is nothing more than a glorified mélange of folk bits, that together as a song, falls flat. Both versions of Yogi yogi thaan...
Continue reading...Music review: Oy (Telugu – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
With simplistic backgrounds, the title song relies on Yuvan’s solid tune, while the by-now-trademark Yuvan tune in Saradaga is equally impactful. Yuvan’s awesome tune-smithing resurfaces in the engagingly mellow Waiting...
