Neethane En Ponvasantham | Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu | Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau

நீதானே என் பொன்வசந்தம்!

என்னோடு வா வா என்று சொல்லமாட்டேன் - கார்த்திக் குரலில் அழகான மெலடி. :notworthy: "சற்று முன்பு பார்த்த மேகம்.." - ரம்யா - சரணம் பல்லவியோடு இணையும் அழகு! ராஜாவின் முத்திரை.:notworthy: "வானம் மெல்ல.." பல்லவியை முடிக்கும் விதம் புதுமை. ராஜாவின் உருவாக்கங்களில் நான் இதுவரை காணாத ஒன்று. அந்த துரிதப் போக்கு புருவங்களை உயர்த்தியது. முதல்முறை பார்த்த ஞாபகம் - சுனிதி குரலில் காணப்படும் உயிர்ப்பு பிரமாதம். முதல்(ஒரே) இடையிசை முதல் முறை கேட்டவுடனையே பதிந்து விட்டது.:notworthy:

ஒரே வரியில் சொல்லனும்னா அதகளம். யானை ஒன்று மலையுச்சியில் நிற்கும் பாறையில் மீதேறி முன்னிரு கால்களையும் தூக்கி வானை நோக்கி பிளிறுவதுபோல ஒரு இசை ஆளுமை! இவ்வளவு நாள் தேக்கி வைச்சிருந்த இசை வாசனையை இந்தப் பாடல்களின் மூலம் அருவி நீரில் கலந்து விட்டு நம்மையெல்லாம் நனைத்து விட்டுவிட்டார் ராஜா. பாடல்கள் எல்லாவற்றையும் கேட்டு முடித்து ஹெட் ஃபோனை கழட்டிய பிறகும் பின்னணி இசை காதில் ரீங்கார மிட்டுக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.

:clap: முழுக்க முழுக்க மேற்கத்திய இசை. ஒரு இசை நூலகமாக வைத்து போற்றப்பட வேண்டிய ஒன்று.

Sorry for the wrong post. I was not aware that this is fake.

Can't wait to buy my own CD, enjoy!:musicsmile:

The songs are very much hyped. I do not have any musical background, but listener of TFM for the past 25 years. Except Sainthu Sainthu, Kaatrai Konjam & Ennoda Vaa Vaa (to some extent mudhal murai), other songs do not impress. Expected a rocking album. GVM-IR combo failed to live up to the expectation.

Its a mixed bag for me. Loved some a lot. Some are ok while some are not that impressive!

In the not-so-impressive ones, I feel its the orchestration that is luring more rather than tune/meody. I agree Raaja has come up wth sweeping orchestration. But the melody magic that this there in few songs in missing in other few. (Opinion based on 3 listenings).

My first Impressions: Part I

1. Sattru Munbu

Old fashioned start but rest of the song is full of fresh touch. The sad loss-filled singing followed by heavy strings is simple but extremely effective. The heavy strings push the sadness spectrum so far out that it almost works as a contrast to the main tune. Great conception.

Probably the best emotional singing in the album. Although on high pitch Ramya's voice becomes thin her new voice and emotion compensates for it. This will be the underrated gem of all the songs.

2. Mudhal Murai

Out of of blocks like Usain Bolt and stays like that until the finish line. The way songs builds and lands on "Nee thaane en pon vasantham" is surprising and superlative. The song is so good it feels like Raja just plucked it out from another musical land. So many great musical moments. Best lyrics of album.

3. Vaanam Mella

Great prelude! Raja channeling Celtic feel is heavenly.

Raja's voice goes well with the song and the feel. The way pallavi ends with the word "tharunam" seems out of pitch? Don't know how lyricist can end the pallavi with word like "tharunam" for that type of notes landing! Lazy lyric writing. Bela Shende sings well but emotionality is less compared to Raja. The conversation at the end of saranam between strings and voice is just pure Raja. It is amazing how all the instruments playing different notes evoke the same type of feeling throughout the song.

4. Yennodu Vaa Vaa

Great beginning. The way catchy pallavi climaxes is so good. The interludes touches different mood compared to tune. Only guess is, it matches the film situation. The musical touch at the Pallavi is intoxicating, I was expecting that touch throughout the song, but Raja charts a different course and drops that touch when Pallavi repeats. It could be as simple intensifying the song for situational reasons. A breezy, sweet & lovely song without too much sugar.

Part II soon.

Failed??? Surprised to see some one writing it off so easily, this fast! I think this is a knee-jerk reaction.

mudhal muRai pArtha gnAbakam - already in the league of ninnukkOri in my books :-)

nal varavu Sunithi!

innum niRaiya rAsa isaiyil pAda vAzhththukaL!

vAzhga Gautam!

For me it's Karthik and Karthik all the way to the finish line... now the question is which among the two is the winner!!!

Liked Sunidhi (for a change) a lot. Liked her diction and stress...

Sattru munbu is very good, but has traces of TIS in it... not sure if anyone had the same feeling

Did not move further in listening to songs yet.

2nd time listening in progress. Scintillating album to say the least and it does meets and beats the high expectations and hype surrounding its release. Almost all songs impressed me completely in the first listen. The whole album is going to be in the loop for a while and I don't think I will listen to any other music for the next few days :smile: Good that it's a long weekend here and I can get drowned in the music and read reviews from the hubbers.
