Paradesi, Music by G.V.Prakash and Lyrics by Vairamuthu
1. Avatha Paiyaa ...
This is a nice melody in true Ilayaraja style, particularly the rustic percussions. There is a delightful flute presence in this song with the veena competing for honors in the second interlude. Both the singers make sure that their vocals are authentic and true to the movie’s rural period setting.

2. Thannai Thaanee ...
This is a gospel song treated like a gaana number replete with ‘thara thappatta’ beats and nadaswaram. Gaana Bala nails it yet again with his typically extravagant style of rendering words. When he goes Hallelujah and Amen in the high pitches, it stirs you in a unique way.

3. Or Mirugam ...
This is a typical Bala number drenched in pathos and philosophy. The string instrumental interludes are heavy and serious while the percussions have been kept minimal. The flute as always stands out with its pure sound. More emphasis has been placed on the lyrics and the meaning in them. Both the singers have succeeded in delivering this pathos song with the right amount of feeling.

4. Sengaade ...
The song begins on a really mellow note with an elaborate strings section and a poignant female humming portion. Madhu Balakrishnan takes over from here with minimal percussions and sad string instrumentals backing his vocals. This is another song driven by the meaningful and powerful lyrics which give an idea of the movie’s theme. This is a characteristic Bala number, which needs a lot of attention just for the sake of the lyrics.

5. Sennneer Thana ... CHEERS
Gangai Amaran’s vocals have a really haunting quality and he is the perfect choice to deliver this number which is again supported by very minimal percussions. Priya Hemesh is brilliant as her humming portions leave a lasting impression. The song makes a big impact and can be expected to recur in the audience’s imagination. Pay close attention to the lyrics which are again deep. The instrumentals are Raja-esque in the way violins have been used to deepen the listening experience.

FINAL WORD: This is a typical Bala soundtrack, which has its fair share of pathos and gloomy numbers. The lyrics have deep meaning while musically G.V.Prakash has kept it in sync with the movie's period and setting.
