Irumbu Thirai Songs - Music Review

Ramesh S Kannan


 

Irumbu Thirai is an upcoming action techno thriller directed by debutante PS Mithran with Vishal, Arjun and Samantha in the lead roles. Yuvan Shankar Raja scores music for the film. Let's check out whether Yuvan able to reinvent himself with this album or not.

 

Athiradi: Athiradi, hero introduction track is loaded with techno sounds matching with the lead actor's role and the Vivek's lyrics is awkwardly routine stuff which tailor-made for this kind of role. Naveen infuses enough energy to the track and the digression towards the middle of the song to the march-past sound appears to be forced and the tune around the hook also middling one from the composer.

 

 

Mudhal Murai: a neat pleasant melody dominated by the synth sounds and the brief respite being the concise Nadaswaram bit by Thirumurthy. However the tune lacks an instant catchy appeal while Jithinrajdoes a neat job behind the mic.

 


Angry Bird: Vignesh Shivn's perfunctory lyrics in Angry birds is intended to appeal the youth listeners but doesn't work as expected. Yuvan spruces up the proceedings with the upbeat tune and JithinRaj's vocals make this short track works to its favor.

 


Yaar IvanYuvan hits the right notes in Yaar Ivan where the haunting tune and the string section in the background makes this one an enjoyable track. The gravity of the techno thriller is apparent both in the song's soundscape and stupendous grungy rendition by Kaber Vasuki.

 


AzhagaeAzhagae is good old Yuvan where the pleasant serene melody adorned with the synth beats and brief unwieldy harmonies aside, composer does neat job with this song when compared to other tracks in the album. Arun Kamath and Jonita Gandhi provides excellent backing for the track with their gorgeous rendition.

 


Verdict: Irumbu Thirai is another conventional soundtrack from Yuvan Shankar Raja where couple of melodies works.


Rating: 2.5/5

Pick of the album: Azhagae, Yaar Ivan
