Subramaniam: Music review |
|
The
well-known director of 'Jeyam', 'M.Kumaran' and 'Unakkum
Enakkum' has teamed up with the young music director
Devi Sri Prasad to offer 6 songs in this movie. The
theme of the movie appears to be 'Love Makes Life Beautiful'
and each song appears to highlight it. Predominantly
male vocals here, to celebrate love!
Senthamizh Pesum:
Lyrics: P.Vijay, Vocals:
Ranjith and Andrea. |

A
foot-tapping number with rappy, techno interludes. A comical
lyric with generous dose of English words. A sudden swerve
into Indian stringed instruments halfway through, lightens
the strong beat of the song. Ranjith could articulate the
difference between the heavy palatal 'na' and the dental 'na'
better.
Adadaa Adadaa:
Lyrics: N.Muthukumar, Vocals:
Siddarth.
Lovely romantic lyrics from Muthukumar. They almost carry
this folksy song through. Siddarth could have used a little
more inflection to his voice. Nice use of Indian music strains.

Kadhalukku
Kangal:
Lyrics: Kavivarman, Vocals:
Devi Sri Prasad.
Devi Sri Prasad springs a pleasant surprise with this
cheery song! The vein of self-mockery running thro'
these verses has been articulated aptly by this joyous
rendering. 'Ana Ippo' refrain that dips apologetically
is quite cute. Less intrusive instruments make for
happy listening.

America Endraalum:
Lyrics: Viveka, Vocals:
Navin, Manikka Vinayagam, Pushpavanam Kuppuswami,
Premji and Priya.
Easily the most riotous song in this collection. Could
well become a hit. A very hilarious composition highlighting
the eternal father-son conflict with regard to the
concept of love! The overture recalls the Ektara,
native drums and Bhangra music and sets the mood for
the entire song. The male voices are nicely contrasted.
A pleasant diversion in Carnatic by Priya adds to
the overall effect. The words 'Appa Theriyadu' from
kuppuswami carry the right touch of anguish and love.
Uyire Uyire:
Lyrics: N.Muthukumar, Vocals:
Sagar.
Quite a plaintive song. Gentle crooning of sorts by
Sagar. What grips the careful listener is the excellent
lyric and the startling images of loneliness conveyed
in this song. The humming is haunting too.

Eppadi
Irundha:
Lyrics: Viveka, Vocals:
Tippu and Gopika purnima.
This song is a raucous celebration of fearless love!
So we have bold lyrics. The 'Mazhai Varude' refrain
adopts a slight change of pace and is high pitched.
Quite a folksy number.

Verdict: The director and the lyricists deserve
a big pat on the back for not using double entendre in their
songs. It has been a long time since we heard songs which
project a sense of 'clean fun', so in keeping with the on-screen
personality of the hero Ravi, who has this ' wish-he-was-my-nephew'
look.
Overall, a lively album all set to become a chart buster.
