Music Review: Peranbu (Tamil)
Composer(s): Yuvan Shankar Raja

After years of languishing in creative limbo, I am finally happy to report that Yuvan Shankar Raja is back in sterling form. In what's his undoubted best since Moondru Per Moondru Kaadhal and Idam Porul Yaeval (which is yet to see the light of the day), the Raja junior crafts a soundtrack that's earthy, rooted and packed with exquisite melodies that work as a splendid showcase of his composing skills. Dhooramaai is as much Vijay Yesudas' show as it's Yuvan's, with the gentle acoustic guitars beautifully complementing the serene melody. Conveying the heartfelt bond between a father and daughter, the lullaby'ish Anbe Anbin rides on Karthik's heartfelt rendition, while sonically traversing a handclap-filled rhythm that lends the melody a lovely touch. Aanandha Yaazhai singer Sriram Parthasarathy spellbinds in Vaanthooral, an utterly captivating composition enveloped by a minimal, slickly arranged soundscape that's a blend of tabla, flute and soft percussion, even as Madhu Iyer emerges the heart and soul of Setthu Pocchu Manasu, a rustic, Hindustani classical-tinged track that sees a fitting accompaniment in the composer's arresting mix of ghatam, shehnai, kanjira and veena. After Selvaraghavan, Vasanth and Ameer, director Ram continues to extract the best out of Yuvan.
