| ‘Vallavan’
Music: Yuvan has proved once again!! |
|
|
|
Nine
songs!! Phew! Vallavan might be embroiled
in a series of controversies, but they have
managed to release their audio. Going by
the number of songs (six, two theme songs),
curiosity about this film is only on the
rise. We have heard some better songs of
Yuvan, though Vallavan is definitely above
average. Here is what we think about all
the songs: |

Podu Attampodu (Vijay Yesudas)
This is a typical “kuthu”
song, that has now come to become
an indelible part of any film. A song
that epitomizes the happy-go-lucky
mentality of a teenager, where idealism
runs high and the hunger to win, no
matter what, is the mantra of this
song.
The song is peppy, though reminds
one of a lot of other similar numbers.

A
lot of scope for Simbu to prove his prowess
yet again as a dancer – fast, racy,
packed with attitude, and perhaps, the perfect
introductory song for Simbu and his character
in the film – if we are to go by the
brief storyline that are doing rounds today.
Vijay Yesudas sounds different, giving the
song that added punch. |

Loosu
Penne (Silambarasan, Blaaze)
With India’s most-sought after
rapper Blaaze in the song, don’t
expect too much of a rap number. The
song has a slow beat throughout, and
is an all out romantic number. A song
that can easily be visualized as the
hero pining for his lady love. Simbu
has sung a few lines in the song as
well, and actually shows promise as
a singer. Blaaze, though, has been
used very differently in this song,
with not so much rap as there is melody. |

The
song undoubtedly has a hip-hop feel to it,
and Yuvan, has proved once again, that he
is definitely a new generation music director.
In this song, he captures the essence of
a young man singing his unrequited loved
for a girl, and has used the “Blaaze”
effect to his advantage. This is the kind
of song to sink into when alone, and will
definitely be on of the chart toppers from
the film. |

Vallavan
– theme music
Definitely one of the best in the
album – the theme music is catchy,
brings out the essence of the film
perfectly. A little bit of mystery,
a little adventure, a few thrills,
and a pace that will keep you asking
for more. The theme music illustrates
Yuvan’s perfect understanding
of the script, at least, as far as
the music goes. Now whether the scenes
and visuals in the film complement
that is to be seen. Literally! |

Hip
Hip Hurrey (Karthik, Sunitha Sarathy)
The beginning bit of the music is
reminiscent of the Final Countdown
refrain by the group, Toto. A song
that brings to light the arrogance
(perhaps) that comes with the will
to overcome anything in life. The
lyrics talk about the antics a student
usually indulges in while at school,
and takes it a step further playing
out the “I don’t care
attitude”. Again a fast paced
song, not so much on the kuthu number
lines though. |

|
Karthik’s
voice sounds refreshing, after having heard
him in innumerable melody songs, and Sunitha,
as always, fits the “western”
element in the song to a T. The song, on
the whole, is very average. A tune that
will slip your mind pretty soon. |
