KV
Anand, Jiiva and Ko have been virtually
on the headlines ever since the announcement
of the project. The success of Ayan has
only increased the curiosity among fans
and their anxiety was put to some rest
when the music was released.

Ko has Jiiva, Piaa, Karthika and Ajmal, among others,
in important roles. Music is by Harris Jayaraj and
we will review how much the album appeals to us.
Ennamo Yeadho...
Vocals: Aalaap Raju, Prashanthini,
Sricharan, Emcee Jesz
Lyrics: Emcee Jesz, Sricharan
Harris announces his presence with a bang in Ennamo
Yedho. The song is poesy and fantastic to listen to.
The simple yet mesmerizing tune is too infectious.
The 'Yedho Kuviamilla' phrase adds to the charm. Karky's
lovable lyrics have been brilliantly sung by Aalaap
Raju. If we take into account the wonderful locations
of Norway (as seen in the trailer), this song is nothing
less than enchanting. Sure to top charts!
Gala Gala...
Vocals: Tipu, Krish, Haricharan,
Sayanora Philip
Lyrics: Kabilan
Tipu, Krish, Haricharan, Sayanora Philip are surely
a gala gala gang. Even though the song's initial moments
do not impress you much, it later settles down into
a nice and easy rhythm. The song does not add much
to the album in terms of variety but surely is worth
listening to just for the sincere efforts of the singers.
Venpaniye...
Vocals: Sriram Parthasarathy, Bombay
Jayashree
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
Harris' favourite singer Bombay Jayashree is back.
Sriram Parthasarathy's restrained singing and Bombay
Jayashree’s mellifluous voice make us want to
revisit Harris' earlier melodies. Bombay Jayashree's
voice sounds a bit tired at times. Nothing grand in
terms of music arrangements in this song. The song
may catch up on you through repeated listens and will
grow in popularity with pleasing visuals.
Aga
Naga...
Vocals: Vijay
Prakash, Tipu, Ranina Reddy, Priya Subaramani, Solar
Sai, Rap Emcee Jesz, Srik
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
The initial tone and voices of Aga Naga sound like
a toned down version of Harris' 'Pudhu Pudhu' song.
The song talks about the passion for fashion and may
not please people who are not familiar with brands.
The interludes are ordinary and the song falls flat
overall.
Netri
Pottil...
Vocals: Naresh
Iyer
Lyrics: Karky
Karky shines again in Netri Pottil. The bass guitar
and the drums are just apt for this inspirational
song. 'vilaketrum sudar kaatrai selvome', 'facebook
"wall"ilum engal kolgai theettinom'... are
Karky's trademarks. Naresh Iyer has wonderfully sung
this short yet lively number. Surely worth listening
more than once!
Amali
Thumali...
Vocals: Hariharan,
Swetha Mohan, Chinmayi
Lyrics: Viveka
Hasili Fisili is replaced with Amali Thumali here.
The genre of this song is not new to Tamil audience.
With bass, drums, guitar and other brass instruments,
Harris tries to be different but the song takes too
many deviations in the middle and hence fails to register
itself in us. Not a bad song overall, but a very meek
end to the album.
Verdict:
Overall, Harris has tried to re-create the Ayan magic
in KV Anand's latest and has achieved it to an extent.
We have mentioned that the visuals may create a better
impact on the viewer and this will certainly hold
true for this album. There are a couple of songs that
give bragging rights to Harris but the others fail
to scale the same height. Ko is worth having in your
personal collection! |
