STR's Vaalu is a film which has spoken about for a long time. Right from the teaser release back in 2012, this film has been on and off the marquee, as the team is now finally locking the release date. The highly expected soundtrack of Vaalu leaked out over the internet this Friday, after which the makers decided to release the album officially. Has Thaman scored this time around?
Engadhan Porandha - Singer : STR
STR jolts this tune down his throat, as he is at complete ease while crooning this track. The song which begins with a charming tune then shifts into a light melody. The lyrics are something to bother about as they are loony, loaded with lines justifying a person's second (and so on) love.
Hey Vasamoakka - Singers : Anirudh and Andrea
Thaman's choice to go with Anirudh's vocals hit the jackpot as this song turns out to be even more lovable with repeated hearings. The STR-Hansika mentions are a treat, with Andrea too hitting rock bottom in the English portions. Will climb up the charts in a while.
Inky Pinky ( You're My Darling ) - Singer : Thaman
The composer gets back to his comfort zone here as he zooms across this track with a lot of zest. Funky lyrics enclosed, Inky Pinky is an energetic number right from the start till the very end.
Love Endravan - Singer : STR
Released as a single earlier, Love Endravan is another proven chartbuster in the album. STR's vocals add life to the song, as it is sure to make fans go crazy with the impressive visuals.
Vaathiyaaru ( Thaaru Maaru ) - Singer : T.R.Rajendhar
Thaman saves his best for last. With T.R.Rajendhar on the mic, Vaathiyaaru is an instant addiction. The verse 'Thaa.. Thaaru Maaru' is superbly carried out, as this song is sure to hit the apogee with STR's thunderous dance moves. Cheers to Thaman for slotting in the Mankatha and Manmadhan themes like a tee in this one.
After an array of mediocre Tamil albums, Thaman returns with notable hit material in Vaalu. Albeit one might hail the overuse of autotune and the rehash of his older rhythms, this album does possess some enjoyable music on the whole. With STR's dynamic foxtrots, Vaalu will go places. Slip on your dancing shoes and switch on the music, for this sure is a soundtrack which is high on energy.
Pick : Vaathiyaaru
Verdict : The STR - Thaman combo works again. A zippy album targeted at the masses.
3.5 / 5
