Music Review: Doctor (Tamil)

Composer(s): Anirudh Ravichander

In Chellamma, Anirudh infuses the tune with modern pop stylings, layering ebullient, foot-tapping beats against a folk-inflected soundscape with highly engaging results. The impeccably constructed Nenjame is a downtempo jam that's gently propulsive and coasts along a heady wash of synths, if only weighed down by a sheen of familiarity that coats the track. So Baby is the undoubted showstopper and a gorgeous collision of contemporary and the classical, belting a Carnatic-meets-club fusion that pairs iridescent, dancefloor-focused electronics with tabla, veena, and a groovy techno production. With Doctor, Anirudh delivers a short, genre-splicing assemblage of tunes that's at once breezy and enjoyable.
