Music Review: Kallappadam (Tamil)

Composer(s): K

K imbues Hey Nanba (Patni Song) with a subtle Latinate touch that makes it all the more endearing, and M. L. R. Karthikeyan, for his part, lends fantastic vocal support. Director Mysskin does admirably well singing the catchy gaana Vellakaara Rani, even as Kuppannae Kuppannae entrenches deep down further in the traditional folk territory, aided superbly by Ilango's rendition and an interesting blend of guitars (Vikram Vivekanand) and harmonium (Ilango). Ilangaathe, sung by K himself, is a spectacular guitar showcase for the soaring acoustic melody (that's reminiscent of A. R. Rahman's Dil Se Re), as is Vizhithidu, an intriguing thematic piece sung by Anand Aravindakshan. K delivers the goods with Kallappadam.
