Kolamaavu Kokila Music Review

Ramesh Kannan

Kolamaavu Kokila is an upcoming black comedy film directed by Nelson Dilipkumar with Nayanthara, Yogi Babu and Saranya Ponvannan in the lead roles. Anirudh Ravichander scores music for the film. Let's check out whether Anirudh able to continue his stellar run with this album or not.

• Edhuvaraiyo✔️ Edhuvaraiyo benefits largely from the throaty vocals of Sean Roldan and Anirudh aces the loungi'sh trippy synth-laden arrangements. The laid-back 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.

• Kalyana Vayasu✔️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✔️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.

• Kabiskabba Coco✔️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 a highly engaging and brilliantly done track in recent times.

• Thittam Poda Theriyala: 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 GaaliVaaluga. Apart from the engaging tune, the track features the solid Kishore's Sitar interlude.

• Gun in Kadhal: 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 continues in Kolamaavu Kokila.
