Guys i would like to know if IR handles composing,arrangements,mixing and everything by himself for malayalam movies..cause the sound of violins and some instruments differs compared to tamil and telugu where the sound is more real and clear :?

Captivating songs ! on the first hear !!
IR proves my point that he is still here, but just not in Tamil !
Why is he denying "mandarapoo.." kind of bliss to tamils ? Why is he so angry with us ? :(
Mandarapoo..
Only original drums..no synth used..
Vinodayatra proves that Raaja Raaja than "The King Emperor Of Music"
vinOdha yAthra - decent & sweet work by IR:-)
kai yeththA kombaththu - my pick of the album,
though resembling a KJY song in Julie Ganapathy (I don't remember the Thamizh song)...very soft and excellent orchestration, esp. the original Raja's "melodic style bass guitar" work -watch out for this in the saraNams! Female version is more enjoyable as KJY is struggling, unfortunately (especially in the last few words of the anupallavi)...
akkiththukki - is it Vijay or his dad himself (or someone else...may be MG Sreekumar...not sure)? decent fun song! Why not someone write such lovely lyric in Thamizh that can be both racy and without inglipeese words?...namma poets'kku indha song can be given as a lesson...Raja switched to synth style guitar in this (which is not my personal preference)...still, sweet to listen...'madhuramallE jeevitham'
mandArappoo - typical IR-mallu song in the post-kAlApAni era...listenable..., though with the 'mArikkoottinnuLLil' & 'minnAram mAnaththu' dejavu feeling. Sure to become popular...(which is why IR probably chose a tested & tried format for this song IMO)...a little bit westernised though, compared to the prior hits...
thennippAyum - catchy tune with flashes of brilliance here and there...pretty youthful...some irritation, though, in the chorus sounds and kachcha-muchcha synth sounds here and there...
Raja may have done better works in Malayalam earlier but this one is much better than his recent mAyakkaNNAdi:-) Like his prior works for Sathyan Anthikkad, this is a minimum-guarantee job!
And I expect a more classy output for pazhassi rAjA now!
Good..but not great..Looks like some effort has been put into the tunes (probably to give the album a youthful feel) ..the pallavi's are interesting..but charanams shift to regular 'raagam programming' :-) Also, the freshness is not there in the orchestration..ie. the notes for the instruments ..especially in key places like the transition from pallavi to interlude etc..Everything is synth..just good synth.
Compared to mayakkannaadi, this is bliss! But when compared to his other fairly recent mallu works, it lacks the "majesty" of songs like 'oru chiri kandaal' or some songs from kochu kochu santhoshangal. Still, the melodies are good and well orchestrated. On the whole, a really refreshing album! If he wants to settle on some middle ground between his glory days and now, this is as good as any.
True ...
What difered from Maaya kannadi was the orchestration ..This is pleasing to ears !
Very nice album in my opinion !!!!
"Vinoda yathra"... lives up to its name.
IR's best album in recent times... IMO.
"Kai yeththA kombaththu" - Simply brilliant :clap:
I have no words worthy enough to describe this melodious composition.
IR never ceases to surprise me...! Just when I was about to give up hopes on IR's new releases... he comes up with a trump card in the form of 'Vinoda Yathra'.
Wish IR comes up with at least one such song in all his forth coming albums.
I dont know why you people are bashing "Mayakkanadi" this much bad. This Album is NOT bad for giving negative remarks.
Just stop reading/commenting negative remarks about the album, close your eyes listen this album in any walk-man or CD-man with good head/ear phone. I am very much sure that you wont loose your hearts.
This Album is simply brilliant especially when IR asks Cheran, Is it a basic love ? and in the introduction IR explains about the situation too for the song.... Konjam Konjam....., I am really Love with this song, Enna Song.......enneramum intha song thaan manasella odikitte irukku......
I would keep Konjam Konjam, Oru Mayalogam, Ulagiley as Brilliant, Yelea..... Outstanding, Kasu & Kadal..... Extraordinary.
