Raavanan Music review

Veera ; An energizing tune .Vijay Prakash (Hosanna fame) is the highlight . ARR has fused Afro style music In layers in this song ( Must listen). The interludes explosive drum arrangements in the song are appealing and pulverizing . Typical ARR style

Usure Pogudhey: An orchestral behemoth with melody free flowing through out the song with guitar riffs is simply awesome (Must listen)

Kodu Poatta;Benny Dayal singing in a raised volume with Instruments like bagpipes, Drums , Trumpets add flavor to this number Mixed with exotic sounds lacks substance , an experimental track from ARR

Kaattu Sirukk; with its methodically ascending orchestration and vocals byAnuradha Sriram, offers instant gratification. Add to that, Javed Ali’s polished vocals, some scintillating interludes

Kalvare; Shreya Ghosal is the highlight coupled with Rahman-template in every note…that semi-Hindustani/devotional, heartfelt rendition, but is also the sole mildly-appealing track sung by Shreya …A melody number in this album, crafted for a soothing and pleasurable listening experience..(Must listen)

Keda Kari;an instant hummable song with hard hitting acoustics and many layers of music hidden that can felt only after multiple listens. The chorus and the arrangement is spellbinding. With plenty of drums, dholak, hand clapping, shenai,  and other folk style dance instruments make it stand apart ..{ Inside news reveal that it took Mani rathnam 4-5 days to complete picturisation of this song with hundreds of dancers }

Raavanan songs are fresh and simple, fascinating and diverse soundtrack that requires repeated listening Mani Rathnam has brought out the best from ARR and clearly he emerges as the DON OF INDIAN MUSIC
