Paiya Music Review- Yuvan plays safe!
// November 22nd, 2009 // 8 Comments » // MUSIC
A music review after a long long time. Final verdict here.
Adada Mazhaida – Rahul Nambiar, Saindhavi
Yuvan’s taken the generic folk template here and has tried to stay safe. I felt like I was listening to a less awesome reprise of ‘Dhavani Potta Deepavali’ from Sandai Kozhi . So much so that choosing Rahul Nambiar over Vijay Jesudas might have been for that exact reason.
En Kadhal Solla - Yuvan
While I found the arrangements for this song a little below par(almost amateurish) for Yuvan’s standards, the interludes totally made up for the song. Nothing else noteworthy in this song.
Poongatre Poongarte – Benny Dayal
Benny, has been singing in almost every movie now. But it has been mostly weak songs(relative to the other songs in the movie), the trend continues here. Everything in this song is plain. Even Yuvan’s generally strong interludes seems to gave gone for a nap in this song. A ’single listen’ song.
Suthudhe Suthudhe - Karthik, Sunitha Sarathy
I am not sure if Karthik gets the cream of the soundtracks he sings by default or he makes it so by his singing. I am totally biased to his voice. The ‘ra-ra-ra-radhe’ bit is awesome. The pick of the soundtrack.
Thuli Thuli – Haricharan, Tanvi
The music in the beginning and the ’sel-sel’ reminds of me some catchy earlier song(see waveform below). I am not sure if its an old english or a regional song. Otherwise its a wonderful track with excellent vocals from Haricharan. I am not even sure why Tanvi is credited here with some very very light background vocals.
An average soundtrack from Yuvan, with only Suthudhe and Thulli standing out. I wish Yuvan would experiment more, it seems he is playing safe, staying in his groove. Yuvan’s got more potential, but this soundtrack is not exploring that.
Comments are all yours now.
