Music Review (Tamil): Seemaraja
Music Composer: Imman
Vaaren Vaaren Seemaraja is Imman's trademark regular high octane folk song with loud percussions as the rhythm drives the song and mass-friendly lyrics thrown to give Sivakarthikeyan huge opening number. The tune wise, the track is the strictly perfunctory number which Imman repeating tirelessly while Diwakar's lively singing matches the song's tone.OnnaVitta Yaarum Yenakilla duet comes in two versions crooned by Sathyaprakash and Sean Roldan while Imman retains Shreya in both. The tune and rhythm flash Imman name from start till end, however, the the breezy melody works well despite the familiarity. The undeniable highlight apart from the singers in perfect form is Punya Srinivas's violin solos competing with konnokol chants in the second interlude.
A Late night Walk with Veena takes me instantly to Kumki's Lady and the violin. OnnaVitta Yaarum Yenakilla's instrumental veena version works much better than the vocals version and it is a great delight to listen to Punya Srinivas dazzling show.Varum Aana Varaathu joins into the list of Imman's another slightly tweaked version of his own songs with average lyrics. The charanam portions work well more than the bland Pallavi portions and also Imman spruces up the proceedings with the interesting arrangements dominated by brass sections and oboe in the interludes and the only grouse is being just Vandana Srinivasan relegated to a minor bit.Paraak Paraak sarts with the grand magnificent orchestration and soon treads into Imman's percussion show. Imman introduced the Vijay TV Super Singer title winner Senthil Ganesh to the mainstream music. The tune is typical Imman's and the track has very little to offer with respect to novelty or catchiness factor.Machakanni's elegant melody works great and Imman's arrangements are top notch especially with the classical touch in the interludes. Though the tabla rhythm is the tried and tested one, Imman's beautiful tune and the arrangements come together as a neat listenable song.Imman ends the soundtrack with the Seemaraja swag which is mass friendly and may work well with the visuals rather than as a song in the soundtrack.
Verdict: Imman stays safe by playing to the gallery, the tried and tested tunes by Imman works sufficiently and serves the purpose.
My Rating:7/10
Pick of the Album: A late night walk with Veena, Machakanni, Onnavitta Yaarum Enakilla
