Music Review (Tamil): Annanukku Jey

Music Review (Tamil): Annanukku Jey
Music Composer: Arrol Correli


Em Peru Matta's hard rock enthusiastic soundscape easily keeps the listeners on the hook from the prelude to ending while Keba Jeremiah, Stevie and Josh's Electric guitar riffs being the undeniable highlight of this manic track. Emcee Jasz and Stevie ace the singing part retaining the energy of the song throughout, Though the end with Ananukku Jay sounds a little bit jarring, the associated hard rock sounds make one swag.Maane Theney's tune doesn't work much, but the arrangements by the composer are an intriguing mix switching from loung'ish sound to enthusiastic brass sounds topped by MSV Raja's clarinet and Babu's trumpet. Raj Kumar's lyrics are the delight to listen which invokes from Ponds powder to Sticker Pottu while Velmurugan and Lakshmi Pradeep nail the vocals part effortlessly.The soundtrack's best goes to Mayakkuraane, splendid mesmerising jazz track and Andrea Jeremiah's dreamy vocals elevate the song to another level. Arrol Corelli's nifty arrangements come together as a lovely listen especially MSV Raja's sax and clarinet throughout the song. Mohammad Noor's drums have it's rhythm on its own which gels well with the main tune beautifully.

Arrol Correli's Anjaa Nenjane sounds more to be of Santosh's composition where the composer splendidly infuses the jazzy undertone to the main folk tune. Though the tune falls on the flipside, the arrangements make the listeners nod along with the track where the tune is tailor-made for Anthony Daasan.Thaaru Maara is another enticing composition where the tune is questionable but once again composer is top notch with respect to the idea of brilliantly mixing the Gaana with the faux waltzy tune and with Deva behind the vocals, the tune easily transitions to full-fledged Gaana with ample support from the lovely accordion mix throughout.Satti Melam Gaana credited as the traditional gaana composed by Gaana Bala and the song stays true to the genre but the track falls short as a standalone song. Mersal Illai is another song which doesn't work as a song in the soundtrack but may come up more cohesively with visuals. Theme of Ananukku Jey is truly Arrol's musical sense with the haunting tone accompanied by sprawling strings section and the tinge of Jazz drums.

Verdict: Arrol Correli confidently delivered the full-fledged delightful soundtrack for a political comedy and the classy jazz undertone to the compositions makes one love the album more.

My Rating:7.5/10
