INDRU NETRU NAALAI SONGS REVIEW

The peculiar album begins on a melancholic note with groovy piano and eerie bass work. Power packed vocals of Shankar Mahadevan give the much needed thump to this number. His high voltage vocals are complemented perfectly with Aalap Raju’s delicate rendition. The rhythm section is minimalistic with sublime classical Sarangi as well as Sitar touch which are joining the fun. The overall impact of the track is quintessentially meditative.

A velvety number with gripping guitar that leads to the trendy vocals of Hip-Hop Thamizha arrives next. The fancy lyrics and tune are well presented with typical riffs and mastery in percussion section. However, the real mastery occurs when the composer superimposes contemporary dubstep beats with indigenous mridangam.

This track attempts to strike an effective balance between Indian melody and trendy strings galore. Shankar Mahadevan and Padma Latha make no mistakes in making it an enjoyable fare with their supremely confident voices. The trance like rhythm progresses as effortlessly as a flowing river and the interludes are swiftly laced with Far East flute and captivating strings.

This is an experimental track that hits the bull’s eye equipped with digital sequencing and Anthony Dassan’s raw vocals. The timely appearance of nadaswaram and foot tapping rhythm are two notable aspects of this composition. However, the track would have been more enjoyable with essence of a changeover.

The album arrives to a crescendo with an effective instrumental track bringing the best of western classical symphony, hip-hop beats and emotionally gripping solo rendition by the composer. The track stays true to its title by attempting a successful conquest on tantalizing aspect called time.
