Music Review (Tamil): Annanukku Jey

Music Review (Tamil): Annanukku Jey
Music Composer: Arrol Correli


Em Peru Matta's hard rock enthusiastic soundscape easily keeps the listeners on the hook from the prelude to ending while Keba Jeremiah, Stevie and Josh's Electric guitar riffs being the undeniable highlight of this manic track. Emcee Jasz and Stevie ace the singing part retaining the energy of the song throughout, Though the end with Ananukku Jay sounds a little bit jarring, the associated hard rock sounds make one swag.Maane Theney's tune doesn't work much, but the arrangements by the composer are an intriguing mix switching from loung'ish sound to enthusiastic brass sounds topped by MSV Raja's clarinet and Babu's trumpet. Raj Kumar's lyrics are the delight to listen which invokes from Ponds powder to Sticker Pottu while Velmurugan and Lakshmi Pradeep nail the vocals part effortlessly.The soundtrack's best goes to Mayakkuraane, splendid mesmerising jazz track and Andrea Jeremiah's dreamy vocals elevate the song to another level. Arrol Corelli's nifty arrangements come together as a lovely listen especially MSV Raja's sax and clarinet throughout the song. Mohammad Noor's drums have it's rhythm on its own which gels well with the main tune beautifully.

Arrol Correli's Anjaa Nenjane sounds more to be of Santosh's composition where the composer splendidly infuses the jazzy undertone to the main folk tune. Though the tune falls on the flipside, the arrangements make the listeners nod along with the track where the tune is tailor-made for Anthony Daasan.Thaaru Maara is another enticing composition where the tune is questionable but once again composer is top notch with respect to the idea of brilliantly mixing the Gaana with the faux waltzy tune and with Deva behind the vocals, the tune easily transitions to full-fledged Gaana with ample support from the lovely accordion mix throughout.Satti Melam Gaana credited as the traditional gaana composed by Gaana Bala and the song stays true to the genre but the track falls short as a standalone song. Mersal Illai is another song which doesn't work as a song in the soundtrack but may come up more cohesively with visuals. Theme of Ananukku Jey is truly Arrol's musical sense with the haunting tone accompanied by sprawling strings section and the tinge of Jazz drums.

Verdict: Arrol Correli confidently delivered the full-fledged delightful soundtrack for a political comedy and the classy jazz undertone to the compositions makes one love the album more.

My Rating:7.5/10

Pick of the Album: Mayakkuraane, Em Peru Matta, Anjaa Nenjane

Music Review(Tamil): Pasanga2

Music Review(Tamil): Pasanga2
Music Composer: Arrol Correli


      Chota Beema appositely titled had imaginative lyrics by Karky which will surely appeal all the children very much. Composer Arrol also kept the arrangements engaging with buoyant trumpets, Sax and percussions. Yazhini too had a jubilant singing apart from few places where words are indiscernible. Visual will add much value to the song. Tham Tham arrangements are also  treads along the charming, cool path while Arrol's string section in the prelude and towards the end stands apart. Arrol's tune is relaxed, laid back one although it tests the patience in the Charanam portions, overall ear friendly song. Anand nailed the rendition part with his pleasant vocals Kaatukulla Kannakatti is conventional rock and roll foot tapping tune with delightful drum sections, trumpets and keyboard. Yugabharathi lyrics is once again charming and will instantly bring light chuckles in faces. Anand with his contrast vocals compared to the previous song breezes through the song with sprightly rendition.Pookalai Killi Vandhu is the mandatory pensive pathos song which rides mainly on the wistful rendition by Yazin Nizar. Arrol kept the minimalistic orchestration with the piano base to accentuate the feel of the song. Karky marks his presence with moving lyrics about the plight of abandoned children. Pasanga 2 Theme starts with an intriguing playful note and Arrol aces once again with the brilliant usage of violin after Mysskin's Pisasu.  Particularly loved the arrangements with interplay between violin and piano notes.


Verdict: Overall Pasanga 2 album does justice to the genre of the movie with Arrol Corelli handles the songs which will appeal the target audiences very well.

My rating: 7.25/10

Pick of the Album: Kaatukulla Kannakatti, Pookalai Killi Vandhu, Tham Tham
