Music Review (Tamil): Vada Chennai
Music Composer: Santosh Narayanan
Sandanatha is the high octane raucous kuthu comes off lively by Ka Ka Balachander and Gaana Bala's vocals. Though the tune treads along in the well-known path, the real fun lies in the Martin Vijay's Trumpets and Trombones. From the prelude, expected that the song will be dark haunting track, but turns out to be celebratory track totally owned by Santosh Narayanan's arrangements. Goindhammavaala is a wacky track in lines with Santosh Narayanan tracks and he employed the chorus brilliantly. Though, Rokesh's lyrics sound to be oddly fitted to the tune, the playful Jazzy tinged piano by the composer himself and Ganapathy's Kanjira while the casual tune is a cakewalk for Dhanush. The stunner of the soundtrack is undeniably Kaarkuzhal Kadavaiye with huge backing by Vishnu Vijay's flute which gives a mild nod to Bombay's Poovukkena Poottu. The wonderful line of singers Sriram Parthasarathy, Vijay Narein, Ananthu, Pradeep Kumar and Santosh Narayanan did a fantastic job with respect to vocals. It's great to see the Indian flute Phrase idea by Sean Roldan in the 1st BGM. The interludes are brilliantly concocted with the classical sargams and flute tabla background while mixing underplayed techno sounds in the Charanam.
Maadilla Nikkira Maanukutty throws us back to Enda Maapla from Cuckoo, lovely gaana Jazz where Telfie's guitar stands out. The catchy anupallavi and Gaana Bala's singing makes one groove to the catchy tune while Dhee joins him towards the end to give the fantastic finishing touch. Sid Sriram collaborates with Santosh Narayanan after Server Sundaram for Ennadi Maayavi Nee and the composer gives a much better-tuned song to the singer who aces the rendition as usual. However, the star of the track is undeniably string section by F.A.M.E's Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra while Sid Sriram's improvisations are the delight to listen. Eppadiyamma is a traditional North Madras melancholy Gaana tuned by Shenoy Nagar Shanmugam which may work well along with the movie. Mathiya Seraiyila is another track on the same lines with completely filled with live sounds. Alangaara Pandhal is where Vettrimaran brings back North Madras native singers to tune the song and the track sticks true to the genre. King of the Sea and Vada Chennai Theme are grand resonating theme tracks with Ananthu's vocals and the grandeur is emphasized effectively with the help of F.A.M.E's Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra. Especially, the hauntyVada Chennai Theme track is the highly effective piece for the gangster flick. The dark track turns into a mellower tune in the middle before finishing off with the grungy vocals of Ananthu.
Verdict: Vetrimaaran's association with Santosh Narayanan replacing GV Prakash turns out to be a splendid combo and the composer churns out the supremely engaging soundtrack for the gangsta flick. Santosh Narayanan is on a roll this year.
My Rating: 8.5/10
Pick of the Album: Kaarkuzhal Kadavaiye, Maadila Nikkira Maankutty, Goindhammavaala, Vada Chennai Theme
