My Picks – Sudasuda Thooral, Konjum Kili and Oru Porambokku in that order
Yuvan Shankar Raja has the knack of picking the numbers that he intends to sing in his album. These numbers generally go on to become chartbusters and Sudasuda Thooral ought to join that list. The song is a fast paced melody which moves you thanks to the earnest vocals of Yuvan, the cool whistle sounds and the elegant guitar presence.
Konjum Kili is an elevating melody rendered by Velmurugan and the basic tune follows from one of Yuvan’s BGM track for Aaranya Kaandam. The song is uplifting thanks to its foot-tapping rhythm and the native string instruments which pepper the song. Velmurugan earns brownie points as well, for his involved rendering.
Oru Porambokku is the new bar anthem for the youth thanks to its cheery mood, the rustic rhythm and the colloquial lyrics. Yuvan and Simbu seem to have enjoyed themselves during this song which also has a distinctive Ennio Morricone style guitar piece.
The poignant Dheivangal Ellam has the majestic Vijay Yesudas in charge. The song talks about paternal love and is totally driven by the lyrics and the vocals. Yuvan has deliberately kept the rhythm of the song low-key and has used some cute synth sounds and chimes to complement the mellow mood of the song.
The racy and rural Ulladha Naan mocks the state of contemporary politics and has an easy charm to it. The nadaswaram interlude sparkles while the rhythm is foot-tapping. Sathyan nails the song with his taunting style of delivery.
VERDICT: Yuvan proves his class and consistency yet again with Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga’s earthy score which is sure to become popular.
