Music Review: My Story (Malayalam)

Composer(s): Shaan Rahman

With My Story, Shaan Rahman weaves a soundtrack rich in melodies, the finely-tuned songs (Aaranu Nee, Mayamanjeleri and Kozhiyumo) navigating a soundscape that's punctuated by gentle pace shifts and drops, even as the composer unleashes a winsome romantic duet in Mizhi Mizhi, with Haricharan and Shreya Ghoshal lending solid vocal support. Benny Dayal-Manjari-sung Pathungi is the only odd one out, not so much for the tune as it's for the catchy folk-driven Latinate fusion arrangement that undergirds it. Shaan Rahman sounds much closer to his signature sounds than ever before, but the result is immensely enjoyable nonetheless.
