Composer Santhosh Narayanan is back to consolidate with his latest soundtrack for Soodhu Kavvum, after a successful debut in 2012 thanks to Attakathi and Pizza.
Come Na Come starts weirdly with a man detailing the recipe for some weird dish and then the catchy ‘Come Na Come’ refrain starts. The beats of the song are groovy while the vocals sound untrained. The rap is another likable part of the song along with the recurring and imaginative violin usage. Don’t miss the female voice which goes ‘Hey Ennada’ from time to time.
In Mama Douser, Andrea is in top form in a typically energetic jazzy number. Though there have been similar jazz numbers before, Andrea coupled with the terrific instrumentation make this one enjoyable. Notice the trumpets and the guitar solo towards the end.
Ellam Kadandhu is a nostalgic trip down memory lane to a bygone era. This old-school song sure comes as a pleasant surprise. Have to see the movie to get the idea behind such a song.
Sudden Delight is an eclectic theme with a mix of chaotic electronic sounds and striking strings. The vocal element in the theme is very limited.
Sa Ga has a beautiful string symphony at its heart and Divya Ramani comes across as a fresh voice.
Kasu Panam is an electronic dance track with contrasting earthy vocals. Gaana Bala is in charge of this song where a video-gameish sound keeps repeating throughout.
VERDICT: In all, Santhosh Narayanan lives up to his reputation as an ‘out of the box’ composer.
