Music Review (Tamil): Kolamaavu Kokila

Music Review (Tamil): Kolamaavu Kokila
Music Composer: Anirudh Ravichander


Edhuvaraiyo benefits largely from the throaty vocals of Sean Roldan and Anirudh aces the loungi'sh trippy synth-laden arrangements. The laidback arrangements and the Gautham Vasudev Menon's voice over makes this track immensely lovable and the anupallavi portion in the Sean Roldan's vocals is a lovely stuff from the composer. Anirudh returns to his forte in Kalyana Vayasau, an immensely catchy, conversational song which becomes a rage for the visuals. Sivakarthikeyan's relatable lyrics and the Anirudh's arrangements do wonders for the song. The track features brilliant sound mixing and the synth sounds especially in the interludes.

Orey Oru, guitar-laden minimally arranged melody sung effectually by Anirudh and the composer brilliantly overlaid the dreamy vocals of Jonita Gandhi and his own vocals. Composer kept the arrangements simple and dominated by Keba Jeremiah's guitar work while the charanam portions have an uncanny resemblance to the composer's best work Naanum Rowdy thaan. Anirudh unleashes his imaginative crazy mix in Kabiskabaa Coco which starts off with the 80's synth prelude but soon dwells into an arresting mix of gibberish sounds in Arunraja Kamaraj's vocals.Khaarem  Kamlakhar's flute portions and brilliant sound mixing makes this one an highly engaging and brilliantly done track in recent times.Thittam Poda Theriyala suffers from the overdose of Anirudh's vocals all over the album but tune wise the track reminds us of the composer's Telugu debut Agnyathavaasi's Gaali Vaaluga. Apart from the engaging tune, the track features the solid Kishore's Sitar interlude. Vijay Yesudas joins with Arunraja Kamaraj in an another insanely done mix Gun in Kadhal and the track's upbeat outlook makes this short track easily accessible.

Verdict: Anirudh Ravichander's knack for delivering catchy and immensely enjoyable tracks continue in Kolamaavu Kokila.

My Rating: 8.5/10

Pick of the album: Kalyana Vayasu, Edhuvaraiyo, Kabiskabaa Coco, Orey Oru
