Music Review: Kilometers & Kilometers (Malayalam)
Composer(s): Sooraj S. Kurup
Listen to the songs online here: JioSaavn
Paaraake's groovy electronics find their perfect match in a concoction of punchy hooks and classical bridges that unfurls into a buoyant, bouncy dubstep fusion. The sparse Diname Diname — easily the soundtrack's best — is Mridhul Anil's show, his spotless vocals accentuated by the tune's dreamy overtones, resulting in a pensive, twinkling melody that's by turns tender and exquisite and a drift of beautiful music. Sithara Krishnakumar is bang on target in Thelinjee Vaanaake, a peppy folk production that's characterised by an onslaught of explosive sonic builds and hard-hitting percussion, even as Thaane Mounam works well as a beautifully orchestrated mood piece along the lines of Sita Kalyanam (Solo). The sublime You And Me is cut from the same cloth as Thaane Mounam, this time wading through more ambient waters, as if the latter's atmospherics were just an ornamental prelude for something more low-key and minimalist. With Kilometers & Kilometers, Sooraj S. Kurup delivers a style-hopping album that effortlessly leaps across a multitude of genres to create a soundscape that's diverse, fluid, and immensely listenable.
