Music Review: Manoharam (Malayalam)

Composer(s): Sanjeev Thomas

Sanjeev Thomas and Shweta Mohan rock Kinovo, with the composer crafting a dreamy and effervescent melody laid over a gorgeous Latinate soundscape. Munnotithaa is an infectious fusion of sounds, accompanied by Thomas' heavily processed vocals. Thaaro features Vineeth Sreenivasan, who is bang on target singing the lush acoustic tune, even as season favourite Sid Sriram joins the mix with Akale, a sombre piece with a punchy rock twist — moving at a brooding, down-tempo pace as the drums thud and the guitars shift between a crackle and a roar. After the excellent Vilakkumaram, guitarist Sanjeev Thomas wades through more ambient waters with Manhoram. Beautiful Manoharam indeed!
