Malaya Porattala
Singers: Biz Mac, Hyde Karty, Tipu
Lyrics: Viveka

Predominantly a hard rock composition which works well with its orchestration as long as it sticks to the heavy riffage and drumming. But the vocal melody and the instrumental feel a bit detached from each other and results in the song falling short of what it aimed to be.

Enna Marandhaen
Singers: Madhushree
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar

The best song of the album comes in the shape of a beautiful melody composed in Madhyamavati and sung with conviction by Madhushree. The track has almost everything going right about it. It begins well with a bit of a tease and then grows into something that’s mostly fulfilling, be it in terms of singing or orchestration.

Ranga Ranga
Singers: Rita
Lyrics: Mani Amudhavan

A rather playful tune which assumes different textures and the track does demand a few listens to get accustomed to the progression and changes. Rita’s singing and the rhythm section in particular stand out as the highlights and the song could have used a few more such highlights.

Thanimayilae
Singers: Anand Araviddakshan, Nivas
Lyrics: Viveka

This sad song based on Keeravani/Natabhairavi (Harmonic Minor in Western Classical) scale is soft in instrumentation but heavy on emotions. The minimalistic approach gives room for a fine vocal performance and the strings build up steadily but in strength and its intensity is backed by the vocalists.

Lovulla
Singers: C.Sathya
Lyrics: Viveka

A light hearted and peppy folk based tune which is driven by a strong rhythm section and the overall arrangement is quite impressive too. Composer Sathya takes the responsibility of delivering the vocals for this one and he hits the target.

Idhuthaan
Singers: Balram
Lyrics: Pudhiyadhoar Kavignan Seivom Team

The album closer is a short heart rendered composition that’s backed well lyrically and sung effectively by Balram.

Verdict: With music director Sathya emphasizing more on the vocals, the album has two tracks to watch out for.
