Music Review: Valiyavan (Tamil)

Composer(s): D. Imman
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

Aahaa Kathal Vandu, with its interesting kazoo bits, bongos(?) and Latino flourishes, is trademark Imman and Ranjith croons it very well. Papon's not so perfect Tamil diction works in favour of the drunk birthday song Hello Hello, while the jazzy Yelomia is Sunidhi Chauhan's show all the way. Kathal Nallavana has an unmistakable Ilaiyaraaja touch to it and rides on a fantastic chorus. Eyes on You, which follows next, features Keba Jeremiah on the guitars and is an intriguing instrumental piece. The soundtrack rounds off on a high note with the interestingly arranged O Baby Come With Me (Imman, M. L. R. Karthikeyan), incorporating a neat melange of Hindustani, classical and rock elements. Imman's Valiyavan is catchy and very much appealing.
