Music Review: Mariyam Mukku (Malayalam)

Composer(s): Vidyasagar
Listen to the songs online here: Gaana

Ee Kadalinu Kolu is that delightful Vidyasagar melody, wonderfully tuned and beautifully sung by K. J. Yesudas and Sujatha. The arrangements too are breezy, instantly evocative of a distinct Ilaiyaraaja'ish soundscape. Kavil has a very prominent Latino flavour about it and singers Kavalam Sreekumar and Najeem Arshad have a great ball singing it. Not to forget the brilliant chorus either. Swargam Thurannu, a lovely Christmas choir song, likewise rides on a superb chorus, its simple orchestration lending it a feel-good vibe. The lively Latino dance number Mekkarayil, which rounds off the soundtrack, is engaging and gets solid vocal purchase in Renjini Jose and Jithin. Vidyasagar stays true to his form as always!
