Music : Harris Jayraj
01 - Yedhane Koiyyake
Singer(s) : Krish, Benny Dayal, Bhargavi Pillai
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : Some heavy guitar stuff here to begin with and heavy rhythms to go along with it too. Clearly targeting Pop and Heavy Metal fans. Both the male singers use a slightly rasping voice.
Rating : 4/5
02 - Naalona Pongenu
Singer(s) : Harish Raghavendra, Devan, V. Prasanna
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : Cool melodious composition by Harris.The guitar works magic in this song. Seems to be patterned on country music, the kind you hear from John Denver and others. All soft and flowy and the lyrics smoothly tag along. And when Harish Raghavendra’s rich voice combines with all this, the charm is all the more noticeable.
Rating : 5/5
03 - Yegasi Yegasi
Singer(s) : Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer, Chandran
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : It is based on middle eastern rhythms but the song is totally pettai stuff and full of boyish bravado. The song has drums, guitar and some whistling sounds built attractively into it.
Rating : 3.5/5
04 - Monna Kanipinchavu
Singer(s): Naresh Iyer, Prashanthini
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : This is again a wonderful melodious duet by Harris with magical voices of Naresh Iyer & Prashanthini. Sometimes the male voice croons and the lady’s voice sounds shrill. Looks like Harikamboji scale and apart from the delightful guitar.
Rating : 4/5
05 - O Shanthi Shanthi
Singer(s): Krish, S.P.B. Charan
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : This is one the outstanding compositions of Harris Jayraj which starts with normal tempo and it goes to very high. Voices of SPB charan is apt for the song. A small trumpet-like interlude breaks the monotony in this song.
Rating : 4/5
06 - Adhey Nannu
Singer(s): Karthik, V. Prasanna
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : This is a typical number in the album which is composed of a melody tune mixed up desi music beats.This song truly reflects what Harris is capable of.. A very interestingly conceived song with slight sruti variations that add charm to the whole piece. Karthik is faultless in rendering.And the guitar, sitar, thavil and native drums combine so beautifully after the first minute. Tender sprinkles of guitar and santoor, sometimes drums and ghatam need to be savoured here. Though we have some Anandabairavi shades, the raga scale seems to be Harikamboji. Interesting!
Rating : 3.5/5
07 - Nidhare Kala
Singer(s): Sudha Raghunathan
Lyrics : Veturi
Review : An exceptionally well composed song on the Natabairavi scale. And rendered with perfection by Sudha Raghunathan. We have some nice sitar and violin pieces woven into the song. Some interesting swara patterns repeat through the song, which reveal the raga to be what it is and not Sindubairavi as it sometimes appears Could stay on the charts easily for some time for its plaintiveness.
Rating : 5/5
Overall Rating : 4.5/5
