Lyricis: Na. Muthukumar Released Year: August : 2010

1. Ada Boss Boss...
          Singers : Sathiya
          Lyricis : Na. Muthukumar
2. Yar Antha Ponuthan...
          Singers : Haricharan
          Lyricis : Na. Muthukumar

4. Ilo Iloo....
          Singers : Vijai Prakash
          Lyricis : Na. Muthukumar
5. MaMa Mama...
          Singers : Vijai Jesudas & Suvetha
          Lyricis : Na. Muthukumar

The album starts with ‘Ada Boss Boss... ’ peek intro, into the sluggish lifestyle of a carefree soul

Yar Antha Ponuthan...has a melancholic tune that is absorbing and appealing .The background takes back to yesteryear tune from ‘Yaaradi Nee Mohini’

The highlight of the album ‘Thaithi Thavum Per Nan...’ starts off well with Yuvan’s usual style and experiments, music being mostly groovy and hip hop styled. Addictive rhythm enthralling listeners

Golden vocal boy ‘Vijayprakash’  has been used by yuvan  for “ Ilo Iloo....” . After repeated listens, the tune is absolutely breezy with a punchy hook.

MaMa Mama... is loud with typical kuthu-style arrangements for rightful reasons that is  sure to be an executive DUET.

Starts off well with [nadaswaram,thavil….] and gradually wrapped off well with predominant orchestration.

After a wonderful Nan Mahan alla  Yuvan reverberates well with Boss Engira Bhaskaran

Uchu Kotta Ichu Vachu : Sparkling backgrounds add that extra oomph. A lovely, longing tune sung by Gopal rao -A well-orchestrated duet with elaborate violin pieces at intervals. Hallmark of Vidyasagar.

Thekku Maramaattam : Vel Murugan & Manikka Vinayagam both are outrageously exceptional in singing folk’ish song, Metaphor lyrics. (Must listen)

Selai Kattiya Sevvanthi:Poor rehash of yester year song Dilbar jaane...' from 'Kalaignan' starring Kamal .Vidyasagar makes use of this tune and succeeds exceptionally.

Oothu Thanni Aathoda: An enchanting, delightful melody (must listen). Karthick &Sandirayi have captured the universal feel that overflows relentlessly all through.

Kanne Kaniurangu : A lullaby song sung by Madhubala & Binni ,meaning full lyrics brimming with the feelings of motherhood .

Vidyasagar bounces back confidently with his unique brand of melodies!  With 3 respectable tracks, a very competent effort .

Neeye Yenn Kadhali music review

Neeye Yenn Kadhali [2010]

Banner: Expression Media

Cast: Uday & Priya Sharma

Direction: Chinni Jayanth

Production: Saravana Kumar

Music: PremKumar

Lyricis: Nedunchezian & Kavi Varma

Released Year: Aug : 2010

Director turned Actor Chinni Jayanth’s Neeye Yenn Kadhali music is temperate, a

fair to middling effort by PremKumar

1. Iravinil Undhan : A stale tune that is listenable ,Chinmayi voice is flat devoid of any modulation.

2. Kottuthu Paaru...Chinni Jayanth voice may not be working wonders , Jaded track that seems exhausted after one time listen.

3. Rasikka Seyi... Suchitra’s voice is wrapped up in ambient orchestration ,good listen

4. Vaadi Macheen: A terrestrial Kuthu Track , that’s a lot to say .

5. Yennai Izhuthu... Amateurish – pretty middling and tunes that are minimal catchy .The cracks appear to show at regular intervals..

Music Director , PremKumar has done an assembly line work , Capable of much better stuff in his future projects…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         

Vanavillum... Tanglish lyrics with heavy beats in the background –minimal catchy rhythm

Paarvai Undhan... Vasundra soaring vocals with neat backgrounds is alluring .SriCharan English humming produces the lilting feel.

Vaanam Yengilum... sounds regurgitated, offers nothing peculiar

Nadamadum Sudukada&. Nil Gavani Selladhey Theme... Has an amplified instrumentation..Elements needed for a Thriller film..

Selvaganesh  saves himself with Nil Gavani Selladhey after his fall- flat DROHI.

The movie is an adaption of aHollywood English movie Uninvited’ 

Valibame Va Music Review

Valibame Va Music Review [2010]

Banner: Jothi Films Cast: Kiran & Karthik

Direction: Narasimha

Production: S.Gowri Shankar

Music: Saketh Sairam

Lyricis: Pregalathan, J.S.Gowthaman & Kalyanraj

Ilamai Senthurame... naturally pleasant and likeable outdated tune  

Maradi Meyil... , charming tune affliated with(latino) interludes  

Nadakuthu Nanthavanam...lyrics imaginatively groovy, Old style music  

Kathal Enpathu.... (1:03) A pitiful saga   

Kaniyile Sikekechu... (1:08min) should be a savior although short, yet simple .GAGA lyrics.  

Muthu Mani Malai... goes repetitively overboard with repetitive phrases   

Nenjame Megame...A lullaby definitely, completely a lay waste..  

Out of 7 songs in this album the composer shines if not typically in merely 2 tracks..A complete let down by SAKETH  SAIRAM

          Lyricis : Vairamuthu
7. Aandi Padi...
          Singers : Karthik
          Lyricis : Vairamuthu

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The album starts off reasonably well with Madhura Madhura... , although predictable Srikanth Deva Kuthu stuff and his take on Madurai( famous for Malli , meenakashi temple,Tamil and their lifestyle)

Rathiye.. fairly catchy and decent & that is a lot to say…

Enna Thavam...Composer Deva doesn’t strain himself ,seems like the song has been ripped of from an old devotional album.

Jagar Thanda.... completely outdated due to the standard sound, utterly boring

Uthama Putherane... K.J.Jesudas voice is wrapped up in 80’s grieve tune

 Porane.... Suprisingly decent , melody number devoid of gaana element

Aandi Padi... Loud backgrounds’ and hero style lyrics that seems to be worshipping mediocrity

Srikanth Deva is simply a phenomenon no two thoughts about that.. still baffles every one (how he gets so many projects)

07. Adi Saarale: Pradeep Vijay & Suvi

 credits: Sevanthi Network

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chikku Bhukku:  a curious blend of Colonial Cousins Euphoria, predominantly youthful feel, chirpy and very rock’ish .

Oru Nila: A folksy start, progressing gradually with stereotype music .Has an earthy feel

…

Zara Zara: Leslie’s guitar makes this number a good listen. Typical trademark of colonial cousins

Smile: A Latino-fused Soul-style tune in this soundtrack seems very appealing. Mild instruments in the background give soothing effect …

 Thooral Nindralum: Ghazal soaked lyrics blended well with Hindustani musical instruments with HARIHARN’S vocals add ethnic feel. Mildly tweaked sound

Vizhi Oru Paadhi: A mildly mocking track with sparkling backgrounds.

Adi Saarale: A lilting track, starts blissfully serene and escalates gradually

Colonial Cousins  Chikku Bhukku is emphatically a thumbs up .

Kallori Thayeh...
           Singers : Mickey.J.Meyer
           Lyricis : Vairamuthu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ammakale: Lyrics brim with feelings of modern day optimistic youth. Groovy, retro style rock instruments work well.

Inbam Ethirilae...An oddball track that seems outdated, cocktail of Indian & western music...

Indihu Inidhu... Is an poor rehash of yesteryear song from Kallori

Vazhkai Oru.... passable melody, with simplistic tune. A pedestrian track .
Ennangal Vaananoki...Kalyani’s voice is pleasant with predictable simple tune in backgrounds is lilting

Kodi Kanam Kannil... Naresh Iyer voice is letdown by escalating music in the background. Repetitive phrases.

Kallori Thayeh... finally Mickey.J.Meyer( the man behind this album) tries to captivate the listeners with end of happy days. Outdated tunes, orchestrated mildly
An average album by Mickey.J.Meyer , mostly relied upon western flavor…
