Spyder Songs (Telugu) - Music Review

Ramesh Kannan

Spyder is an upcoming bilingual spy thriller movie directed by AR Murugadoss with MaheshBabu and Rakul Preet Singh in the lead roles. Harris Jayaraj scores music for the straight Telugu film after Orange. Let's check out whether Harris able to make this an interesting album or not.

Boom Boom:✔ Boom Boom's tune is a usual Harris Jayaraj material, but the mild Eastern flavored background and the alluring sounds throughout the songs with Keba Jeremiah's racing guitar strums do wonders. Nikhita Gandhi owns this song with the right attitude and the song is an engaging listen despite treads on the familiarity zone and RamaJogayya Sastry dishing out Marvel comics in the lyrics make this one interesting.

Ciciliya Ciciliya:✔ Ciciliya Ciciliya is fairly good melody backed by guitar laden arrangements and Harris throws his gibberish sounds for the chorus. The percussion rhythms in the background gel well with the chorus while particularly loved the classical tinged brief moment by Sakthishree which is accompanied by mild classical flute by Jayanth. Overall, a lovely melody which is sung well by Haricharan and Sakthishree.

Aali Aali:✔ Aali Aali falls into the predictable groove and the tune sounds to be outdated while Brijesh Tripati Sandilya, Harini and Jogi Sunitha pump up the energy to this song. Harris channels his kondakaki sounds from Aparichithudu in the charanam portions effectively. However, the song is an engaging one, thanks to the lovely Manoj's solo violin and Seenu's Mridangam in the second interlude.

Otrai Iravukai: Otrai Iravukai's absurd rhyming lyrics and fangled rendition by Pravin Saivi and Christopher Stanley aside, the track is a decent one from Harris and Sathya Prakash owns the second half with his semi-classical second half. Though the switch to classical stuff sounds discordant, Harris makes up with neat arrangements throughout the song.

Spyder On Mission: Spyder On Mission sticks to the composer's latest penchant for Techno sounds and the short track is adequate background material and fails to make an impact as a standalone theme.

Verdict:

"Harris Jayaraj delivers an engaging album filled with the composer’s signature sounds throughout the soundtrack"

Rating: 3/5
