Music Review (Tamil): Kanne Kalaimaane

Music Review (Tamil): Kanne Kalaimaane
Music Composer: Yuvan Shankar Raja


Azhaikattuma doesn't match the singer's previous hit number Makka Kalanguthappa from Dharmadhurai and the whimsical lyrics being the only curious thing from this casual gossipy track. Neendamalare has the gorgeous anupallavi crooned deftly by Yazin Nizar and Shwetha Pandit while Yuvan Shankar Raja adorns with the neat orchestration especially the flute solos in the interludes. Endhan Kangalai's  lounge'ish mod soundscape mixed with Yuvan's trademark tune which takes me back to Paiyya. However, the tune doesn't work for me thoughSooraj Santosh ably delivers while Yuvan spruces up the interludes with Sitar solos. Sevvandhi Poove is another average song from the composer where the tune has shades of Seenu Ramasamy's earlier collaborations with the composer. Vaa Vellai Rasathi is the best of the lot and I wish Yuvan opted for some other singer rather than himself. The brooding undercurrent tone especially the rhythm structure and the apt arrangements make this one an engaging listen in the album.


Verdict: Yuvan Shankar Raja starts his 2019 with the lacklustre soundtrack which doesn't match the composer's magical run last year.

My Rating: 6.5/10

Pick of the Album: Vaa Vellai Rasathi, Neendamalare 

P.S You can listen to the album in Jio Saavn
