Hello there new week! More and more music is coming our way, and Tunes Weekly is back with another set of five brand new songs for you. This time, we have two Malayalam songs, two from Tamil and one piece of music from Hindi.
Playtime.
» Ta Ta Ta Tang (Darvinte Parinamam)
Darvinte Parinamam is the young Sankar Sharma's debut film as music director and he has come up with four quality tracks, of which 'Ta Ta Ta Tang' is the most innovative. From the pluck of the violin strings to the melodica and more – this song has a unique, interesting sound; something we have experienced with Santhosh Narayanan in Tamil. And, that's not a bad thing at all. Sankar has his stamp and command written all over the song. Singer Nakul Krishnamoorthi is fabulous, especially while on with the high notes in the anupallavi, ably backed by the composer himself on the vocals. It sure seems like Sankar Sarma is here to stay!
» Dubai (Jacobinte Swargarajyam)
Shaan Rahman has resumed from where he stopped with the melodious 'Ravu Mayave' in his last film Vettah. In Dubai, the musician has brought out yet another breezy tune that has its sturdy backbone built on guitar and mandolin strings. The song, written by Manu Manjith, is a short one with a duration of a little over 2 minutes and very pleasant. Vineeth Sreenivasan, the movie's director, leads the vocals, a sweet smile lurking in there for you to unravel, and is in the apt company of Suchith Suresan and Liya Verghese. Splendid job, Shaan.
» Bongu (Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum)
Santhosh Narayanan has a packed year ahead; at least 8 more movies, including Rajinikanth's Kabali, will be singing his tunes. Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum (Ka Ka Po) is his second release of the year and 'Bongu' is a typical Santhosh number, and is super fun. The composer himself is the singer and is excellent. The curious beginning takes us forward to the witty lyrics in Chennai Tamil. Santhosh uses his strong points – folk and jazz – to great effect in this number, mixing them in minimal proportions. The chorus is a delight too. 'Bongu' on ahead!
» Aviyal (Aviyal)
Raghu Dixit makes his Tamil film debut with Aviyal, an anthology of short films. The musician had a lovely Tamil song written on mother's love in his last album 'Jag Changa', sung by himself. Here, the foot-tapping worthy 'Aviyal' is sung by Antony Dassan, the brilliant performer that he is, to perfection. The tune can be easily associated with the fusion music that took Dixit to new heights. The heady mix of Indian percussion and nadaswaram makes 'Aviyal' delicious.
» Foolishq (Ki & Ka)
Filmmaker Balki had once said if he had a say, he would see to it that all the movies being produced will have music by Ilayaraja, his favourite composer. However, the director has opted for a multi-composer soundtrack for his latest film Ki & Ka. Ilayaraja gets one song in the movie, curiously titled 'Foolishq'. The song has those must-do Raja elements – flute, violin pieces and some wonderful guitars. Singers Armaan Malik and Shreya Ghoshal are in total control here. Ilayaraja is 1000-plus-films-old, just putting it by you, in case you didn't know.
Bonus track
Has Kamal Haasan dropped his dream project Marudhanayagam? One can only keep guessing with the movie's music director Ilayaraja releasing a song from the movie, which got shelved almost two decades back. Have a listen.
