Music Review: Jai Bhim (Tamil)
Composer(s): Sean Roldan
Listen to the songs online here: JioSaavn
Accompanied by a blast of dense riffage, Power is a rousing call for action, layering Arivu's rap verses (of Vaathi Raid and Enjoy Enjaami fame) atop heady hip-hop beats, before it throws traditional percussion, nadaswaram, and dubstep-leaning electronics into the mix for good measure. Vettakaara Kootam, led by Anthony Daasan and Niranjana Ramanan, works well as a beautiful breeze of folk music, even as it gives way to Polladha Ulagathiley, a reflective piece that gains immensely from Sean Roldan's hard-hitting rendition as it does from the tasteful but downplayed orchestration that adorns it. Sendumalli is at once exquisite and delicate, with Roldan and Kalyani Nair's phenomenal vocals harmonised against a backdrop of guitar chords and orchestral swells. Pradeep Kumar is fab in Thala Kodhum, infusing its plaintive folk roots with a right amount of emotional heft, while Roldan shades the canvas with touches of instrumental colour that blends flute, ghatam, and veena. With Jai Bhim, Sean Roldan delivers an overwhelming pleasant work.
