Music Review (Tamil): Peranbu

Music Review (Tamil): Peranbu
Music Composer: Yuvan Shankar Raja


Dhooramai, guitar laden track with the minimal caressing orchestration adorned by Vairamuthu's lovely optimistic poetic verses makes one fall in love with this song even more. Yuvan Shankar Raja aces in the arrangemnets and the stunning guitar riffs makes this one an absolute delight to listen. Vijay Yesudas lifts the song to another level with his earnest rendition. Anbe Anbin's claps and the slightly buoyant arrangements with the intriguing haunting undertone is typical Ram number. Karthik aces the singing part crooning Sumathi Ram's verses. The song of the soundtrack, Vaan Thooral goes to Sriram Parthasarathy who crooned Anandha Yaazhai from Ram's Thanga meenkal. The consistent thrumming rhythm accompanied by the sobering tune and Yuvan beautifully transition to classical tabla bit followed by Sriram's wonderful sargams. Though Sriram's vocals didn't work completely, Vairamuthu's lyrics and a beautiful semi-classical tune from Yuvan makes this one an easily best song in the soundtrack. The tenderness in the Sethu Pochu manasu's composition reminds me of the Ilayaraja's Bharathi soundtrack and once again Yuvan unweilded a gorgeous arrangemnets featuring lovely veena interludes and ghatam rhythm. The minimal arrangements highlight the Madhu Iyer's effectual vocals in a splendid manner.

Verdict: Peranbu is a neat soundtrack filled with lovable tunes where the minimal arrangements and the poetic verses elevate the overall mood of the soundtrack. Ram continues to extract the best work from Yuvan.

My Rating: 8.5/10
