Music Review: Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum (Tamil)
Composer(s): Sam C. S.
Listen to the songs online here: JioSaavn
The successful Sam C. S.-Anirudh association that yielded Yaanji and the EDM-classical fusion Raja Raja Kula comes back a third time, and Sam does something similar in Kannamma, the groovy dance floor scorcher sheathed in slinky smooth synths and an assortment of ghatam, sitar and flute. Actor Harish Kalyan, who also happens to be a trained Hindustani music singer, makes his singing debut with Yei Kadavulae, and to be honest he deserved a better song than this prototypical girlfriend-bashing folk number. Paul Prakash, almost sounding like Sid Sriram, lends his voice to the punchy EDM-tinged Sandaali (Onasis Mohan's guitars are a big plus), even as Yeno Penne smartly weaves Sathyaprakash and regular Swagatha S. Krishnan's dependably first-rate vocals with traditional folk (nadaswaram, thavil) and qawwali'esque elements against an intriguing dubstep-like backdrop. Sathyaprakash also comes back a second time for the retro-laced Yendi Raasathi, and alongside Roshni for vocal company, the mix of bongos and guitars complements the melody very well. Sam C. S.'s music may be many things, but predictable it is not.
