Music Review: The Priest (Malayalam)
Composer(s): Rahul Raj

Aided superbly by Baby Niya Charly and Merin Gregory, Nazarethin is every bit a slow serenade, a carol-like piece that gradually builds into something ecstatic and propulsive, with Rahul Raj bedecking the melody with layers of strings and soft-rock flourishes that unload a dense emotional outpouring. Sujatha Mohan returns after a hiatus to take centre-stage in what's a sparsely arranged and mellifluous Neelaambale, its lush sprinkle of guitars and flute resting against a free-flowing, gently-swaying bedrock. Kanne Uyirin, sung with heft by Narayani Gopan, thrums with an uneasy tension, while simultaneously slipping between various dramatic passages, even as Niya Charly returns a second time for an eerie piano-led Nigoodamam that's by turns haunting and hypnotic, before coming to a sudden heart-stopping end. Rahul Raj delivers a suitably moody, atmospheric fare with The Priest.
