Very good, I say! Super stuff for a debutant MD! Some raw Chennai local flavour songs and couple of lovely acoustic (just what the doctor ordered!) melodies where ARR/Amit Trivedi influence can be felt, but that doesn’t take away much from the composer.

My pick is Vazhi Parthirundhen - super guitars, loved the chords; nice singing, very pleasant song.

Aasai oru pulveli – beautiful soft rock number. Again very nice guitars and nice flute as well. Is Pradeep a debutant? Chap’s got a bright future for sure. The ARR touch in this one is more evident and I kept sliding off into Naan Varuven.

The folk songs are good fun and lively which is exactly what they should be. Thaara thappata kizhinjing! Nadukadalula has a nice Chandrababu tinge to it.

Podi vechchu pudippaan – the only song that felt like a standard popular number, made for the market kind. Atleast there isn’t any autotune here, so it’s fine!

Long live acoustic music! Death to electronically fornicated music!

Here’s wishing the very best for the team!
