Yaedho Seygiraai---
Vocals:
Javed Ali, Sowmya Rao
An interestingly put-together song that
hovers between Pop and R&B, this number
is pleasant to listen. It is composed
on the Kiravani scale. Notice how subtly
the guitar accompaniment varies for both
the charanams. The keyboards interludes
are cool too. A pleasure to hear the sparkling
sangatis of Javed in ‘Adadaa’
and ‘Unnaal’!
Lucky Star---
Vocals: BlaaZe, Suvi,
Mohd Aslam
This song varies between slower and faster
tempos in a peppy manner and again, pleasingly
conceived. Gives a kind of ‘build-up’
to the hero perhaps! Is likely to be relished
by the youth for its racy appeal
Money Money---
Vocals: Preethi &
D.J. Earl
Plainly a ‘party’ number with
a hip-hop touch to it, this song still
appeals because of its carefully paced-out
rhythm that does’nt hurt the ears.
Well sung by Preethi and decent lyrics
from Muthukumar. You take some time to
warm up to this number.
Oru Devathai---
Vocals: Roop Kumar Rathod
The plaintive Sarangi and the deep tabla
notes bring a lot of ‘special effects’
to this song, which is paced languorously.
One hears a bit of Hamsadwani and Sankarabaranam
in the song. Roop Kumar Rathod, his voice
now dipping, now soaring, is able to bring
tiny nuances into the song because of
the slower pace. Like the other hit of
Yuvan ‘Engaeyo Partha’, this
song could also make a slow climb onto
the charts and stay there.
Engey Povadhu---
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas
Vijay,
with his restrained singing, adds a nice
and sober effect to this soft number which
philosophizes about life. The guitars
go’ pa ni ga ri ga’ and ‘ni
sa ri sa ri’ adding pleasing Natabairavi
touches to the song. The violin and flute
are just functional here.
Verdict:
Yuvan has once again racked up his grey
cells to bring out some funky stuff here.
Pleasant use of strings, sarangi and tabla
deserve mention. One may take some time
to warm up to this album this time around.
