Lingusamy-Yuvan combo is back with Paiya. A beautiful album with five songs.

Beautiful guitar opens up the lilting melody "Thuli thuli mazhaiyai", so beautifully rendered by the upcoming young talent Haricharan (Yeah. The voice that we heard in "arabu naade" song). The tune and Na. Muthukumar's lyrics complement each other. 'Sel sel avaludan sel' part is too good in this song and that's the highlight.

"Suthudhe Suthudhe bhoomi" starts off pretty ordinarily but soon picks up and enthralls you as it progresses. What else can I say when there is Karthik? He definitely elevates the song to greater heights. The lines "ra ra ra radhe, radhe, azhagiya raadhe" are sure to be hummed by the audience in the coming days.

"En kadhal solla" sung by composer himself is another brilliant melody with excellent rhythm. Yuvan, as usual, excels in orchestration particularly in the first interlude. The chorus/humming part that comes mildly in the background in between is addictive. I have not been a big fan of Yuvan's rendition rather I complain a lot. But this time, I must say that Yuvan has improved a lot in rendition. He has given a very good feel especially in the charanam parts.

There isn't anything new in "Adada mazhai da" song. It simply gives you the feel of listening to "Dhavani potta" song. Tried and tested orchestration. Yuvan simply recycles his earlier works in this. But, the song sounds good and creates a peppy mood. Rahul Nambiar's

rendition is too good and Saindhavi's rendition towards the end is another highlight of this song.

"Poongatre poongatre" a fast paced melody is sung by Benny Dayal. A passable track with very less innovations.

Overall, Payya is an instantly likable album. Lingusamy has extracted some excellent melodies from Yuvan. Yuvan, who usually goes overboard in orchestration even for a simple melody has refrained from it in Payya. Orchestration here is very simple and catchy. The songs are sure shot winner. Barring the few recycling works, the album is very much satisfactory. Go get it. Drench in the rain!
