Saivam (Music)

Produced under his own banner, Saivam is AL Vijay's dream project which is finally shaping up for its big screen grace. With Baby Sara, Nasser and Baasha in the cast, Vijay sticks to his trusted team of Nirav Shah and GV.Prakash for the respective duties. Lets see how this album has turned out.

Azhage Azhage : Singers - Utthara Unnikrishnan, Lyrics - Na.Muthukumar 

With her ability to babble out the lyrics with a highly captivating vocal nature, Uthra Unnikrishnan strikes gold with her debut song, Azhage. Her pronunciation must be lauded as the team has taken great care to bring out the perfect output. Na.Muthukumar’s lyrics are charming too, this album begins on a high!

Kokkara Kozhi : Singers - Gaana Bala, Chinnaponnu, Aswitha, Harish, Aishwariya, Lyrics - Na.Muthukumar

GVP’s albums these days are incomplete without sending one through Gaana Bala’s throat. And you get to hear him once again, along with Chinnaponnu. The portions sung by the little kids are the capturing ones in an otherwise middling number, which is aimed to be a peppy number to filmed around Baby Sara and her impish mannerisms. 

Orey Oru Ooril : Singers - Haricharan, Lyrics - Na.Muthukumar

Orey Oru Ooril is a trademark melody from GVP once again, as Haricharan is roped in to fill in the vocal column. The song is crafted using minimalistic orchestrations with the tabla at the forefront, until the second interlude, where it skips to the next level. Haricharan does manage to enchant you with his voice, which is very much the scoring point of the song.

Moments of Life : Instrumental

Here is the instrumental in the album. Being a master of instrumentals himself, GVP scores in this one which will be a beauty onscreen, sans any doubt.

GVP has stuck to the basics in Saivam. Keeping it simple and scoring with the basic essentials, he has brought forward an album which distinctly clings on to the theme of the film. Though the album wont be a commercial sellout, it dwells its importance on the film, which is what matters. 

Pick : Azhage

Verdict : An enduring soundtrack on terse proportions.
