Music Review: 144 (Tamil)

Composer(s): Sean Roldan
Listen to the songs online here: YouTube (Think Music India)

Vinai Theerkum Pillayada, a devotional piece on Lord Ganesha, is classic Tamil-folk, lively and well-supported by the composer himself on the vocals. Sean Roldan is joined by Chinmayi for the pleasant guitary melody Poove Pooviname, with the ghatam-laden arrangements adding to its rustic charm. Kenathakaanum and Kaasu Kadacha Loose Pudikkum are both characterised by their folksy arrangements and led by Andony Dasan on the mic, but turn out to be quite pedestrian overall, while the electronic-folk fusion Aagaa is fairly engaging a listen, and the social message song Velamarapattayum orchestrated quite interestingly in a retro style. Sean Roldan's return after more than a year is unfortunately a trifle underwhelming.
