Helmed by Prakash Raaj, Un Samayal Arayil is the Tamil equivalent of the Malayalam hit, Salt and Pepper. It marks the return of the living legend Ilayaraja to the musical front, as he brings out 4 tracks for the film. Do they possess his magical touch? Read on.
Indha Porappudhan : Singer - Kailash Kher, Lyrics - Palani Barathi
Kailash Kher starts off the album with his unique voice, as he carries the song single handedly with the minimalistic tune. The lyrics of the song, which stress on the importance and taste of food are catchy.
Eeramai Eeramai : Singers - Ranjith, Vibhavari, Lyrics - Palani Barathi
Ranjith and Vibhavari come together for this pleasant duet, which is built on the trademark style of the maestro. Filled with simple instrumentations, Ilayaraja makes it count in the interludes. A light and lovely listen.
Therintho Theriyamalo : Singers - Karthik, Ramya NSK, Lyrics - Palani Barathi
The vocals of Karthik and Ramya NSK fit perfectly into the charming tune of Therintho Theriyamalo, which is arguably the best track in the album. Karthik's croons this track with ease, adding a lot of life to the song, which is gifted with apt lyrics. The interludes however are strong, contrary to the fairly gradual chime of the song.
Kaatru Veliyil : Singer - Ilayaraja, Lyrics - Palani Barathi
It is none other than the legend himself crooning this track, a slow number in pathos. The heavenly voice of the maestro is honey to the ears, along with the music which sure is slow poison.
Ilayaraja has stuck to what he is known for, and in turn has come out with a few beautiful melodies. None of the songs are loud on the ears, as they make do for perfect listens. If you are a lover of fast beats, you've come to the wrong place. Else, this album will surely catch your attention.
Pick : Eeramai Eeramai
Verdict : Polite and likable soundtrack from the maestro.
3 / 5
