Vanamagan Songs: Music Review

Ramesh Kannan

Vanamagan is an upcoming action adventure film directed by A L Vijay with Jayam Ravi as a lead. AL Vijay ropes in Harris Jayaraj as the composer instead of his usual GV Prakash. Let's check out whether this combo able to strikes the chord with the listeners.

Damn Damn: Damn Damn is an engrossing composition from Harris Jayaraj and the tune flows freely traversing through different rhythms while Harris manages to keep the listener's hooked with listenable backgrounds. Sherin Shahana's gruff singing sounds apt for the casual lyrics of Madhan Karky.

Yemma Yea Alagamma:✔Yemma Yea Alagamma is the tune which Harris tried and tested umpteen number of times while Bombay Jayashree continues to sing the composer's tweaked tunes impeccably. Haricharan ably supports her with his brief portions and the orchestration is passable one with a brief respite in the form of violin solo in the second interlude.

Silu Silu:✔ Silu Silu's droning tune is backed by the earnest vocals of Vijay Yesudas and the arrangements by the composer are minimal with initial preludes reminds Chinna Chinna Aasai and later transcends into Harris territory. The brief folksy portions in the second interlude are infused neatly with the pleasant melody supported by Karky’s verses.

Morada Morada: Morada Morada's tune and the rhythms remind the listeners the innumerable number of composer's earlier compositions especially Aadhavan and at last Harris infuses his penchant for the gibberish verses in the second half of the soundtrack. Krish and Benny Dayal sounds apt for this typical Harris Jayaraj tune.

Pachai Uduthiya Kaadu:✔ Pachai Uduthiya Kaadu is an absolute winner from the soundtrack and the simple guitar laden track filled with occasional flute sections is a delight to listen. Abhay Jodhpurkar and Harini ably delivers the pleasant tune and Madhan Karky's beautiful lyrics accentuates the enchanting tune. Harini's velvety voice deserves lot more songs compared to the number of songs she is getting these days.

Theme Track: Harris Jayaraj weaves his gibberish sounds for the apt movie and delivers it as theme track, however, an undeniable winner in the theme track is Flute Kamalakhar's work in this two and half minute track.

Verdict:

Harris Jayaraj's 50th album is indisputably best album from the composer in recent times and the album has its own share of novelty despite the apparent déjà vu feel.

Rating: 3.25/5
