The full songs mark the return of IR's originality and vintage style...now im already awaiting his songs for dhanam :P
Listen to samples and you get disappointed !
Listen full songs and there is hope.
1. Konjam konjam :
This is what you call a classic Ilaiyaraja love duet. Excellent and fresh interludes.
Best song till date in Cheran's film. Pa.Vijay should be very happy about his first song for IR.
2. Oru Maya logam :
Nice, but not near to Konjam konjam ..
3. Ulagile :
Again a good song, but not captivating on first hearing.
Lyrics and Nandita's ( who is this ? ) voice suck :(
4. Aele :
A rehash of the song "Yen maa mayakkamaa" from Thendrale ennai thodu ! Whom to blame for this outdated tune and lyrics ??
5. Kasu kaiyil, Kadhal indru :
Songs which should have been avoided..but who knows ? a situational song, might be..
Overall, this is more than enough for Cheran ! but not at all for IR's fans ! The compensation or consolation is the Konjam konjam song .
Yes, Raja_fan,
Konjam Konjam is the song of the album..
Infact, i like Shreya's 'humming' that Irir was talking about :P
This song is in Keeravani. Of late, a lot of Raaja's duets have been in this scale...
Adding to my review above :
One good thing to note is that this album contains 3 love duets overshadowing the message songs :)
I pray God that Cheran does not try any dance for any of the duets :)
Do you people note that "Ulagile" song contains some BGM similar to that in "The Music Messaiah" ?
As for the Shreya's splendid humming in Konjam konjam, I think Cheran likes this style..I am reminded of the starting humming of "Manasinulle Kaadhal vandhuchaa" from
Autograph.
album is too good.....
1. konjam konjam - too good...karthick is as usual at his best...shreya goshal just steals the show.
2. kaasu kayil - decent effort
3. oru maayalogam - really good one....clean flow....interludes are good..."the oh my love" piece is too good....
4. Oyele Yenga Vandha - IR is awesome.....surprise pkg.....classy rendition by IR....
5. kadhal indru - good, decent melody line...
6. ulagiley azhagi - vijay yesudas is at his best....very good melody line....
IR is back with a bang....Top notch album....
no way i would rate this album high - many of the motifs sound so jaded - even for movies like UDAN PIRAPPU, during the mid-late 90s, IR gave some interesting nos like "nandri sollavey"
the music is interesting in parts thats all - the second interlude in "Oru maayalogam", is an example
overall, the deja vu feel from TIME, Anumanaspadam continues here too
maybe, this is what IR thought Cheran deserves
The interludes of "ulagiley" - IR at his recent best - the first interlude has strings playing smoothly and so pleasing to hear - the second interlude has a very different sounding table rhythm! hmm, wish the whole song's melody was as innovative - Cheran must have nodded his head like a 'bhoom, bhoom' maadu' for these tunes, instead of pressing IR for more! moral of the story (am becoming like Cheran) - IR gives his best when he works with someone who also knows what he wants exactly from IR!
and the female singer sounds like a cross between an ageing Bhanumathi and Sadhana Sargam!!
That's what i thought too...Quote:

will IR+Balachandar, IR+Bharathiraja combo back?????
Konjam Konjam is really a very good song. I simply liked it espcially the first interlude and the shrey's humming.
Yelae engae vantha is another funny songs from IR. His trademark song with IR speech while starting and middle (ippo paarunkanna pichu uthariduren :) :sad:). Film's success and nice picturisation with funny scenes will make this song more popular. deja-vu feel undu. so what?
Kadhal inru ippothu is agian IR trademark song with correct length (no low no high). Nice tune, lyrics and music. - My pick of the album :D
i hate anru-inru connection, even thogh, i liked the lyrics
onru servathal kadhal uyarnthatha
pirinthu povathal kadhal thazhthatha
Ulagilae azhagi is again a good song especially "azhagu rani....". Unakkuthan Enakkuthan mathiri old type lyrics :sad:
Oru maya logam has IR's 90s style. Its Good and has picturisation scope.
Kaasu kaiyil illatta is the second version of Kadhal inru ippothu song.
Overall a good album
