HaiyodiMusic composed, arranged & produced by Dhibu Ninan Thomas Lyrics: Krithika Nelson Singer: Kapil KapilanLanguage: TamilGenre: Alt-RockMood: RomanticWhen I listen to this song by the fabulous composer-singer combination of Dhibu and Kapil, I am reminded of another fantastic song. 'Adiye' was a song that mesmerised the whole nation, and for those who didn't know Kapil Kapilan, it put him on the pan-India radar. This splendid Alt-Rock melody is composed, arranged and produced by Dhibu Ninan Thomas with lyrics by the talented singer-songwriter Krithika Nelson. Was it a conscious decision to use 'Haiyodi' as the catchphrase and title after the success of 'Haiyoda' by Anirudh for the album ' Jawaan'?Either way, this is a much better song in comparison, for me at least and Kapil Kapilan elevates it to another orbital altogether. Keba Jeremiah's guitars and Naveen Napier's bass are piling on the scintillating effect and Dhibu combines the purity of Raag Abheri (Bhimplasi) with the energy of rock music. The male chorus joins in to provide impetus to the line "anbe nee anjamal nenjai killi sellathe", thanks to Dhibu, Aravind Srinivas , Sarath Santhosh , Saisharan , Shenbagaraj and Narayanan Ravishankar. When it is Kapil's turn to join and sing the line, the strings section is a beautiful arrangement in the background, played by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and this section is arranged by the amazing Kalyani Nair. I love the confidence and trust Dhibu has in giving some of the best songs to Kapil, and the way he provides an unabated vocal exhibition in return is a testament to a great team. The swaras are being performed by Kapil at breakneck speed, and it is beautiful to hear the backing vocalists sing "hey hey kadhal" along with this.Sruthiraj is on the Tabla and Ashwin Sivadas plays the drums. I love we have the backing vocalists sing the line "nenjukkule vedikkathe" and then with Kapil following it up "un perai sonnale", but the highlight here is Kalyani Nair's string arrangements that are mesmerising. Kapil shines with some unbelievable stuff he does in the higher vocal register. Listen to the aalaap in the outro and stay dumbstruck. The tracks are mixed by Balu Thankachan (20 dB, Chennai), and mastered by Shadab Rayeen (New Edge Studios, Mumbai). The recording engineers are Maniratnam, Bence Bobak, Vishnu M N and Paul Daniel. @dhibuninanthomas @kapilkapilan @officialanagha @princepicturesindia @madrashe @napier_naveen @kebajer @singer_narayananravishankar @aravindsrinivas_official @shenbagarajg @kalyaninair86 @sivadasashwin2. FariyaadVocals, Lyrics, Composition: Inayat Kaur BajajLanguage: HindiGenre: Alt-RockMood: EnergeticShe is a precocious talent with terrific vocal control and abilities. Inayat Kaur Bajaj has been featured many times by me and she has been on Indian Idol Season 14. Here is a new single where she doesn't restrain and goes all out with her insane vibrato, and why not? Inayat inspires many youngsters who are writing songs, as she writes the melody, and lyrics and performs the vocals on this one. Listen to her go as she sings "Ab toh Main kya karoon" with some falsetto and the landing notes on the last word, almost impossible to achieve. Suyash Gabriel is on drums, Anahita Singh plays the gentle Piano and the guitars are played by Solomon Konwar and McGilheri(Vinod Arora). The song gets into a blistering mode as we get to the chorus segment with the heavy rock genre being explored in drums and guitars and Inayat soars into the pitch notes, emoting all the aggression with style. One just can sit and listen to this splendid vocal performance by Inayat and maybe say to yourself " Main aur kya karoon". Once we get a solo on electric guitars in the interlude, Inayat executes the same notes with stunning perfection, giving a classical touch to the fast-paced aalap. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Mukul Jain at Ferris Wheel Studios. The recording engineers are Solomon, Mukul and Rohan Vashisht, the technical engineer. @inayatkaurbajaj @mixbymukul @ferriswheelstudios @itsanahita.singh @suyashgarbriel @mcgilheri3.
