Pattas Songs - Music Review 

Ramesh S Kannan

Puthu Suriyan: Puthu Suriyan's tune treads on the dependable tune structure backed by rousing string arrangements with quite enough anthemic moments with respect to the soundscape. Anuradha Sriram holds the song and it's delightful to listen to her song after quite a lot of time. Composer duo wonderfully employed backing vocals while Uma Devi marks her presence with her lyrics. The song gets more engaging in the instrumental version titled A Mother's love and fittingly done by Chennai Strings Orchestra and Nathan's woodwinds

Chill Bro: Chill bro caters to the mass audience with the easily likeable tune despite Vivek Siva's patchy questionable lyrics. Vivek Mervin mixes in the background everything from kuthu percussions to EDM techno sounds while Dhanush easily sails off the tune with his enthusiastic vocals.

Jigidi Killadi: Jigidi Killadi once again suffers from the random lyrics by Vivek but satisfactory tune in the hands of Anirudh's dependable vocals make this one works. Vivek Mervin kept the background neat and simple loaded with techno sounds which work to the song's favour.

Morattu Tamizhan: Morattu Tamizhan da's oft-repeated tune structure doesn't hamper the fun quotient of the song mainly because of the verve of the composer duo's vocals. The grand celebratory soundscape is prodded by Maxwell's brass sections and vivek's lyrics easily blends well with the mass tone of the song and serves well with the tune.

Piriyadha Enna: Piriyadha Enna's prelude guitar work by Keba Jeremiah lies comfortably in Yuvan Shankar Raja's territory but followed by an adequately listenable tune which fizzles out very soon. Vijay Yesudas and Niranjana try hard to make this droning tune work but the track fails to engage the listener.

Mavane: Mavane's hard rock grungy soundscape hark back the listeners to Kabali's Neruppu Da especially the extensive punchy Thalai Nimiru phrase. The track's undeniable highlight is the ultra- energetic Rap portions in the second half by Arivu while Vivek Siva ably supports him with his vocals.

Bottomline:

Vivek Mervin produces easily accessible energetic tracks for Pattas and barring few misses, composer duo deliver a fine commercial album after a long time.

Rating: 3.25/5

Pick of the Album: Mavane, Morattu Tamizhan, Puthu Suriyan
