வாரணம் ஆயிரம் - Music

One of the popular director-music director duo, Gautham Menon and Harris Jeyaraj teams up again in வாரணம் ஆயிரம். Looks like the theme of the album is youth and Harris had leaned heavily towards rock music.

Adiye Kolluthe - This is typical rock number with some jarring instrumentals. The song sounds very western and reaches different levels due to change in tempo at different stages of the song. Shruthi Hassan's voice is different and the male duo Benny & Krish blends well together.

Ava Enna - Karthik is back (I don't hear him a lot these days) with a very versatile performance in this செம்ம local song. Very nice டப்பாங்குத்து considering the number of similar songs that have come in recent times. This will definitely be popular among all and will be a sure hit.

Mundhinam - This is my favorite song of the album even though it reminds me of Mutham Mutham from 12B and beats/instrumentals from 1942-LS. This song has too many good things going like Naresh Aiyer's youthful voice and the ease with which he sings high notes, Prashanthini's brilliant voice that keeps up with Naresh. This is probably one of the best orchestered song of the album.

Yethi Yethi - This is a very average number and reminds us of several latest hip-hops. Harris's use of Na.Muthukumar and Benny for this song doesn't help much and reminds us a lot of Taxi Taxi from Sakkarakatti.

Anal Mele - Typically, this song would have been sung by Bombay Jayashree, but this song has the beautiful voice of Sudha Raghunathan and she gives a fresh breathe of life to the song. Again, this song reminds us of some of the older songs composed by the same music director, especially the instrumentals in the middle portion.

Oh Shanthi, Shanthi - This song has a very nice rhythm and the voices of Clinton and SPB Charan sounds great in another typical rock style song. This is really short and sweet.

Nenjukkul Peidhidum - This is one of the sofy melody in this movie and in spite of Hariharan's magical voice, heavy chorus and Thamarai's catchy lyrics, the song is not so appealing. I am not sure if this song is an attempt to compose an "Unplugged" style melody or a "Typical" melody, but it ended up being neither.

All in all, this is another typical Harris Jeyaraj album that has a few surprises and lots of old songs reminiscence.
