Music Review (Tamil): Sindhubaadh

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


The prelude and Pallavi of Nenja Unakaga sound more like Santosh Narayanan's composition than Yuvan Shankar Raja. The tune takes time to get through the listener but Haricharan's vocals and the lovely arrangements especially Balesh's Shehnai towards the end make this one an interesting listen. Another beautiful thing is the Charanam where Yuvan's minimal arrangements with keys to support while Haricharan leads the show to pave way for the effective Othanela Kenikulla title hook.Rockstar Robber's prelude reminds of the Yatchan's KaakaPonnu and the techno club mix by Yuvan works largely because of the enjoyable Rap portions by ADK. However, the tune fails to stick despite enjoyable arrangements and Pav Bundy's adequate vocals who collaborated with Yuvan earlier for Goa

Unnaalathan is a typical Yuvan styled song and it's a perfect throwback to numerous Yuvan's melodies. Yuvan delegate the vocals to similar sounding Al Rufian instead of his own despite the tune easily falls into his territory.  The winner is undeniably Priya Maali's singing who leads the show easily in Charanam.Yuvan churns out another winner in the melancholy Neeyum Naanum where Santosh's singing elevates the song effectively. Yuvan kept the arrangements simple filled with thrumming techno rhythms and paves way for the singer to deliver the gorgeous melody. Also, deserving credit is beautifully written words by Karthik Netha.

Verdict: A melody heavy soundtrack where Yuvan is in fine form and Arun Kumar continues to extract enjoyable music from all the composers (Nivas K Prasanna for Sethupathi and Justin Prabhakaran for Pannaiyarum Padminiyum) he has worked with.

My Rating: 7.5/10

Pick of the Album: Nenja Unakaga, Neeyum Naanum 

P.S You can listen to the songs in JioSaavn. The edited version of the review is published in Moviecrow.
