Music Review: Amen (Malayalam)

Composer(s): Prashant Pillai

Film: Amen

The minimal arrangements of the choir-styled Aathmavil (Karita Mohan, Shweta Mohan, Preeti Pillai, Sanker Sharma) works wondrously, even as Preeti Pillai and Shreekumar Vakkiyil's splendid vocals make Solomanum Shoshannayum a mesmerizing listen. The unconventional guitary folk number Pampara Pa Pa is suitably addictive, not to forget Remya Nambeesan who is in her element with her competent rendition. Lucky Ali's Malayalam debut Vattolli is characterized by a casual laid-back tune, while Karuthiku Thithai's brass band-Latin mix is instantly arresting. Meen, yet another beautiful track accentuated by its minimalist feel, has Alyssa Mendonsa's gorgeous voice giving it the perfect accompaniment, and in Spirit of Amen, the soundtrack gets a fitting finale that's admirably well-composed and genre-shifting. Composer Prashant Pillai delivers a rock-solid musical extravaganza with Amen!
