Saridhaana Saridhaana
Singers: M.Ghibran, Thomson Andrews, Yazin Nizar
Lyrics: Madan Karky
The album begins with a groovy guitar melody sung breezily by the
vocalists. The track has a fusion of a pleasant melody over modern
orchestrations, making it instantly likeable. The distorted guitar
along with the drum loops brings the contemporary touch. The nadaswaram
hooks in the interludes offer another access point to the tune.
Edhedho Ennamvandhu
Singers: Haricharan, Padmalatha
Lyrics: Parvathy
Haricharan makes no mistake with his flawless voice and Padmalatha
supports him perfectly in this timeless melody. The orchestration
creates a fantastic musical ambience around Ghibran’s brand of unique
progressions woven around a blend of Indian classical and modern music.
The changeover point in second interlude is another major highlight of
the track.
Mounam Pesum
Singers: K.S Chithra, Sowmya Mahadevan
Lyrics: P.Vetriselvan
The opening piano notes carries with it the tag of a ‘classic in the
making’, with the added attraction of the involvement of the legendary
Chithra. The exquisite melody is built around Ghibran’s industrious
orchestration incorporating both live and digital elements of music.
While the lead tune has traces of Raag Kaapi and a little of Nata
Bhairavi, this track serves up as a fusion extravaganza. Chithra gives a
masterful rendition with her sweet and flawless voice.
Dheva Dhevadhai
Singers: K.G. Ranjith, Madhu Iyer
Lyrics: P.Vetriselvan
The melodies continue to flow from Ghibran’s palette in a similar
uncanny and pleasant presentation. The haunting solo humming adds much
worth to the overall track and the interludes are intricately woven with
the Middle eastern styled string section and rhythm. Madhu Iyer gives a
velvety rendition to compliment the instantly likeable voice of
Ranjith.
Thagam Theera
Singers: Padmalatha, Yazin Nizar
Lyrics: Asmin
Ghibran’s display of proficiency continues with a mesmerizing solo
rendition from Padmalatha with the backing of acoustic guitars and
interesting percussion sounds. The overall template is essentially a
blend of Hindustani and Western classical with such flexibility that it
would intrigue the listener. It is enthralling to observe that the
composition is cleverly based on Carnatic Raaga Amruthavarshini- a raga
less explored by the modern day composers.
Edhedho Ennamvandhu (Solo)
Singers: Sundar Narayana Rao
Lyrics: Parvathy
The lilting duet arrives again, now as a solo in the voice of Sundar
Narayana Rao. He brings a classical touch to the overall composition
with his heavy bass voice and expressive diction. A strange Sufi folk
flavor is added to the composition with his rendition.
