Subject: [arr] Another nice review of VTV

  
http://www.lordofth eweb.info/ 993/vinnai- thandi-varuvaya- vtv-music- review/

After seeing its world premiere in London in a gala event on the 19th of 
December, the much hyped songs of Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya are out at last. With 
these songs coming after the successful Oscar exploits of maestro A.R.Rahman, 
the hype and buzz surrounding the songs of the movie is understandable. Add to 
this the fact that Gautham Menon and A.R.Rahman are working together for the 
first time, the excitement is almost palpable. 

Omana Penne
Singers: Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon
Malayalam Lyrics: Kalyani Menon

The percussion in this song stands out right from the start. The kind of 
rythmic song that is soothing to the ears. Well suited for Benny Dayal and he 
has excelled as usual. The nadaswaram bit, heard on and off in the background, 
takes the song to another level towards the end. Unfortunately, the music masks 
the lyrics at places, thereby reducing the pleasure to some extent, but with 
such lovely music, the complaints wont be loud.

Anbil Avan
Singers: Devan Ekambaram, Chinmayi 

A peppy number if you can call it. The initial segment sets up the song very 
well. Devan has done a commendable job. Chinmayi adds a soulful effect to the 
song and has backed up Devan very well. The chorus has done as good a job as 
the lead singers. The traditional marriage music that comes in the middle of 
the song offers splendid transition.

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa
Singers: Karthik

Another song comprising of amazing guitar scores, with Karthik's voice 
competing with the amazing music through all the changes in pitch. The music is 
loud at places and the voice of the singer is subdued at places, something that 
is predominant in this album. The lyrics becomes clear only after a few 
listenings, which is a shame since Thamari continues to out do herself in the 
lyrics department time and again. Despite these foibles, the short song packs a 
punch and is a good title song.

Hosanna
Singers: Vijay Prakash, Suzanne, Blaaze
English Rap Lyrics: Blaaze

This has to be the most popular song of the album. Amazing music, singing and 
lyrics combine to create this masterpiece that is bound to be wildly popular 
with the crowd. What begins as a melody with soothing music and soulful female 
chorus parts transitions beautifully into rap and then back to melody. Vijay 
Prakash has beautifully captured the mood of the song . Suzzane, with her 
excellent singing culminating in a mesmerizing humming has made the song 
better, if that is even possible. Blaaze is good with what he does, as usual.

Kannukkul Kannai
Singers: Naresh Iyer

While one was thinking that the guitar has been the favorite of Rahman in this 
album comes this number with fantastic violin interludes. Awesome westernized 
music with amazing tamil lyrics from Thamarai truly symbolizes the position 
that tamil culture should be in - embracing the western world while holding on 
to, and spreading, its roots. Naresh Iyer does the song with finesse and his 
uttering of the words does justice to the lyrics.

Mannipaaya
Singers: A.R.Rahman, Shreya Ghoshal 

Shreya and Rahman. Awesome combination. Throw in Thirukkural and we get a 
magical song. The keyboard really owns this song and the flute makes an 
appearance making the album even more varied. Shreya is really the highlight of 
the song, with the music vying to catch the listeners attention. Dont miss the 
kural rendered in amazing chorus with the flute in the background.

Aaoromale
Singers: Alphonse
Malayalam Lyrics: Kaithapram

A song that starts slow, goes on to pick speed slightly and makes you say Wow 
after listening to it. Thats Aaromale! With amazing guitar scores that give you 
the feel of country music, and invigorating malayalam lyrics, this song will be 
quickly liked by the music aficionados. This song's popularity will be like the 
song itself -slow, but will start to rise once people have listened to it a few 
times. This is a true fusion of western and south Indian music, something that 
Rahman always wanted to capture. My personal favorite.

While Hosanna will be popular with the crowd, Mannipaaya and Aaromale bring in 
variety to the album. While it is slightly saddening that the amazing lyrics 
get masked at times by the music, it can still be ignored. Like any Rahman 
album, the songs will take some time to pickup ( apart from Hosanna that is!) 
but will last long, satisfying every kind of music lover. Time and again, 
Rahman manages to wow us.
