Manmathan Music Review

Manmathan


So has Yuvan struck gold with Manmadhan?? The answer is YES. The album has all kinds of songs like techno stuff, melody and gana type songs that will quench listener's thirst.

Thathai Thathai
Clinton, Blaaze, Silambarasan and Vasundara Das

Blaaze who is frequent in A.R.Rahman albums has collabrated with yuvan for the first time.

Infact this is the first time he is singing for a non a r rahman album..(though Shaan's Album Akshar is a exception).

The song starts with Blaaze's rap like the title track of New and the rap piece is funky with foot tapping beats..The prelude is extremely catchy and this track will be a winner.

The lyrics are ok,overall a nice job by Yuvan and well supported by Simbu,Clinton and Vasundra..

Manmadhane
Sadhna Sargam

This song reminds us of Simbu starring Chanakya song but anyway a nice melody especially the prelude is soothing.

Though the song wont become craze it will be appreciated when seen on screen, lyrics by snehan(of kalayanam tha kattikitu oodi poolama fame) does a fair job. Sadhna lends her voice well.

Oh Mahire
Anushka of Viva fame

Wow!! Udit narayanan has finally got some competition. Anshuka apart from spoiling the song she has Damaged Tamil through her horrible pronunciation.

This one is Yuvan's favourite song, as he says. But one cannot deny the fact that this song is extremely peppy and foot tapping number..

Yuvan has used a interesting loop when the song starts and also use of various filters (gapper and snipper) especially to the word mahi re in the end is worth mentioning.

Lyrics by NA Muthukumar are worse, think twice before playing this song when elders are around On the whole youngsters will like this song.

Vanamunna
Shankar Mahadevan,Sreeram

This song is a typical Gana and “Dapankoothu” type song. The lyrics by NA Muthukumar is good(for a change). This one has comical lyrics that might bring a smile to the viewers..Shankar Mahadevan as usual is great and sreeram also done a good job.

Enn Aasa Mythiliay
Silabarasan,Suchithra

Why should Yuvan remix old songs??..when he is capable of delivering good songs?
he has remixed Simbu's Father's song mythily enna kaadhali this one is a big Hit with a equally Good lyric from PA Vijay.


Kadhal Valathein
Kay Kay

One of the BEST tracks in the album...it has some nice melody with soulful renderation from Kay Kay. NA Muthukumar has penned the song nicely..

Yuvan has composed brilliantly and the pitch of the song also varies often and Kay Kay has complemented it by his wonderful vocal talents. On the whole a nice track.
