Vidyasagar means melody. In the company of filmmaker S P Jananathan, he has proved his mastery in coming up with an engrossing music album, that is, 'Peranmai'.
With a group of young singers, the music composer has managed to weave a magic of sorts here. The movie has ‘Jayam’ Ravi donning the role of a forest officer. Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics.
1. Kattu Puli Adicchu
Singer: K K, Jassie Gift
The song is simple and straightforward. It has peppy percussive rhythms with a touch of classical raaga. The good use of flute for the song about forest is straightaway catchy. KK in the company of Jassie Gift has rendered it in rich style.
2. Kaadu Kalai Katta
Singer: Madhu Balakrishnan
Melody and Madhu Balakrishnan are always inseparable. Here is one which is soft and scintillating. Lyrics are the backbone of this song. It has good soft tempo without a jubilant pep all through. Vidyasagar has the knack of rendering a soft tune coupled with peppy beats. Hats off music composer!
3. Yaerathaazha Ezhu Mani
Singer: Sadhana Sargam
Sadhana Sargam's mellifluous voice does the trick here. Though the song is bit flat, the rendition by Sadhana Sargam lends to it some dignity.
Again Vidyasagar's mastery in fusing classical raaga for a film song comes to the fore here.
4. When the Boys
Singer: Sonia Irabar, Sianed Jones
Seemingly different from other songs, it has the touch of pop numbers in it. Newcomers Sonia Irabar and Sianed Jones have rendered it with more Anglican accent. The background music is uncomplicated and minimal.
5. Thuppakki Pennae
Singer: Shalini, Megha, Feji, Suvi
A breezy number which is attractive all the way. A fusion of West and the East, Vidyasagar has rendered a medley here. Seemingly aimed at wooing young audience, this song which has vibrant lyrics is powered by a young brigade of singers, who render it with zeal and energy.
On the whole, Peranmai has catchy music coupled with attractive lyrics. It's job well done by Vidyasagar. |
