I didn't want to post anything on VTV till I've had the satisfaction of savoring the whole beauty of the soundtracks.
To describe the album in one word: Phenomenal!
I just couldn't decide which track I loved the most! In fact, I've been listening to this album for the umpteenth time now but till today, I've never once been tempted to skip any of the tracks. Each and every one of them are amazing and magical on their own.
Omana Penne gives a blissful feeling everytime I hear it. Benny Dayal brings forth a freshness in the song through his soothing voice.The Malayalam piece and Kalyani's wonderful voice is definitely a plus point here. Very unique and astounding use of nadaswaram! Hats off to ARR for bringing the sheer beauty of the classical instruments to life!
Anbil Avan was a remarkable blend of techno and traditional music. The marriage tunes gives a divine feel to the song while the right balance of percussion keeps the track contemporary without losing the essence of the lyrics.
Vinnaithandi Varuvaya relies heavily on string arrangements and ARR proves that he can bring out the splendor of a song even without the support of heavy musical instruments. Karthik did a wonderful at the vocals by giving a mystical effect to the title number.
Hossana proves that Vijay Prakash is no "one-time" wonder. The initial rendition of "yen idhayam..." was enchanting and the startling transformation to the fast pace enhances the exquisiteness of the number. Suzanne's lovely humming gives an added beauty to the song while Blaaze's rap is just too cool!
Kannukul Kannai started with an astonishing violin works. And man, was that Naresh Iyer? Amazing transformation in his voice. He literally brought out the frustration of a lover through his hard-beating singing. Ganesh Rajagopalan's violin feast at the interludes keeps lingering in your ears long after the song ends.
ARR's brilliance in churning out an unconventional melody with a touch of divinity is evident in Manipaya. This is a song which conveys a young damsel's wish of seeking forgiveness from her lover (a first in the world??). And who's better to bring out the grief and anguish of the guilt-stricken lover than Shreya Ghosal? Her heart-breaking rendition would even melt a stone-hearted person. ARR does justice to his part. His soulful singing gives the song an added boost! The addition of Thirukural just took me by surprise! Exquisite piece of work!
Aaromale rocks its way to our heart! Thank you ARR for discovering the talented Alphonse! This guy is just magnificent!
Blending rock with indian music is no easy task and ARR does it with elan...In fact, I'm still in awe with this magical composition. Truly, sky is the limit to the genius called ARR!
