INGA ENNA SOLLUDHU SONGS REVIEW

The album opens on an auspicious note with the utterances of the traditional wedding chant by Kalyani Menon. Dharan doesn’t try anything fancy here and keeps it simple focusing on the chant to create an aura for itself.

An EDM anthem like groove serves as the backdrop of Psycho Unit’s vocal deliveries. The song’s instrumental is pretty impressive with exciting sonic developments that seem to scale higher and higher. Psycho Unit’s track record proves that they’re more effective when rapping rather than singing. Lyrically too, the rap outfit has the potential to come up with witty and powerful lines and this tune in that aspect is slightly underwhelming but still turns out to be enjoyable.

Rest on simple guitar note picking and strumming, the melody is very much the hero here. The glorious piano harmonics and the splendid flute solo are toppings that enhance the intimacy of the tune. The backing vocals harmonies along with Naresh Iyer’s voice bring about an overall richness to the composition.

Dharan could have simply dragged this song along as a straight up dance tune but the composer instead puts some more effort to ensure it isn’t a run of the mill track. He throws in some noise and effects and confidently pulls it off giving the song some interesting dynamics with Ramya NSK sounding the right vibes.

Clearly aimed at delivering a crowd pleaser, Dharan and STR team up and get most things right. The lyrics are typical of STR, philosophical and at the same time every bit colloquial. The rhythm, words and singing are strong enough to engage the listener and lead them into a really nice and catchy sing-along chorus.

The piano resonates the singer’s melancholy in this short but brief melody which is simply sublime. Ramya’s words echoing feebly are indications of this album’s impressive production and packaging.

VTV Ganesh contributes as a singer for this song and the composition, though light-hearted, is done with all seriousness. Those who are fans of VTV Ganesh’s unique voice will find that it’s supported with a bit of auto-tune but still managing to retain the original’s identity. The theme of the song suggests that one should think differently, and the song backs the thought with a fresh presentation style.
