Music Review: Darling (Tamil)

Composer(s): G. V. Prakash Kumar
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

Gaana Bala is his usual self in the passable retro-styled Vandha Mala, while Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal do a great job in the adequately melodious Unnale. Sattena Idi Mazhai's (G. V. Prakash, Megha) funky techno arrangements does well to mask its tried-and-tested tune, as the other G. V. Prakash-sung song, Anbe Anbe, is mellifluous and more Thaman-like in its progression (It reminded me of Mazhaiye Mazhaiye from Eeram). If The Dead Are Back's intended-to-be-spooky mix of assorted sounds and screams falls flat, the soundtrack's best comes in the form of Un Vizhigalil, with Harini's sweet vocals embellishing the wonderful melody. Darling is altogether an average effort from G. V. Prakash.
