2.5 / 5
Mella Sirithal ... CHEERS
This song will probably be another addition to the long list of hit songs sung by Yuvan. The portion when the movie’s title is rendered by Yuvan, in his trademark high pitch, is the highpoint of the number. There are a lot of quirky sound effects in this heavily auto-tuned number. Though the tune is not altogether new, it is peppy thanks to the way the song has been put together in a hip manner.
Alaipayum Nenjile
Udit Narayanan is in his trademark ‘biting Tamil’ form. His nasal style goes well for such a genre of song which is light and breezy. The lyrics border on love, lust and friendship. Nice string instruments dominate the song all through with a different percussion pattern.
Thappu Thanda
This is a melody number in the Ilaiyaraja template with more focus on the vocals. The song starts off very interestingly when we can’t decipher if it’s a male or female singing. Yuvan has garnished it at places with his modern sensibilities. Ultimately, it is an intense ‘old school’ melody song with lovely string instrumentations typical of the Rajas. This duet sung by Javed Ali and Bhavatharini will grow on you.
Poovum Poovum
This number has a pretty unique percussion pattern comprising electronic beats and synthesized effects. It’s an unconventional number on the whole which has been produced well. Vijay Yesudas is his typical nonchalant self. This would probably be an intimate song between the lead pair.
FINAL WORD: AKS is an interesting Yuvan album which offers something new and has his trademarks too. These songs aren’t the type that would set the charts on fire.
