Here are the best Tamil songs released for the month of June 2023. If you are a musician submit your new music here.1. Yaavum Gnaayum Song Composed, Arranged and Produced by Yuvan Shankar RajaLyricist: YugabharathiSinger: Shivani PanneerselvamGenre: Synth-PopNever have the sound of guitars felt so funky and cool in a while, and this song captures your imagination the moment the title of 'Modern Love Chennai' comes on. The arrangements ooze style and this has to be Yuvan Shankar Raja's best song since 'Rowdy Baby'. Yuvan displays what his pedigree is all about and if these sounds don't urge you to listen, then wait for more.Shivani Pannerselvam is singing this like a dream, that you never want to get out of, like in the movie 'Inception'. This dream sounds and feels so much better than reality, but Shivani's vocal prowess and performance are real. The control she exhibits in delivering these lines is sensational, especially in the tenor/baritone scale. The stanza is beautifully composed and gives you that hummable feeling, and Yuvan ensures that the tone of the song remains intact. He does some fabulous production towards the end as you can feel the keyboard programming creating that intensity in the background. Kumaraguruparan .M does the mixing and mastering and the brilliant lyrics are by one of the busiest lyricists in Kollywood, Yugabharathi. @itsyuvan @shivanipannerselvam 2. UravuPerformed by Padmapriya Raghavan, Sean RoldanWritten by Sean Roldan, YughabharathiGenre: Melody/PopWe have the best two songs of the month both from Amazon Prime Video's Modern Love Chennai. This is Sean Roldan's magic and he is spreading love through the amazing power of music. The song is composed, produced and arranged by this composer who is showing some amazing resurgence of form of late. It is on par with the number 1 song of the month in almost every aspect. Padmapriya Raghavan is glorious as the female lead vocalist and I am hearing after a long time since that crowning jewel of a song 'Megathoodham'. I just love the line "Oru Kadhai ing mudivathaikandu kalakkamum etharkadi" and it is not just the melody in the notes, but Sean's voice and the strings section, Accordion and guitars in the background that just conquer my heart. Yugabharati writes these amazing lines. The anupallavi segment is so rich and it gets better with "uravennum perum kathai , uyirgalin thodarkathai". The whistle just makes a solid interlude for a love song. Sean hits the jackpot with a beautifull crafted stanza and I was blown away at around the 2.10 minute mark when Padmapriya sings "Uravennum Perum kathai" and the Piano plays some succulent and dreamy chords. @rseanroldan @padmapriya_raghavan @yughabharathi3. UrudhiSong Curation: Sean RoldanSong Narrative: Sean RoldanVocals: Sanjay Subrahmanyan, Arifullah Shah RafaeeWritten By: Krithika NelsonComposed By: Sean RoldanMusic Arranged & Produced by: Sean RoldanMixed by: Toby Joseph at TobsGarageMastered by: Randy MerillSomeone please call the fire station, it is an emergency. That's right, Sean Roldan is on fire!!!!!. Here is the Coke Studio Tamil song featuring renowned Carnatic Vocalist Sanjay Subrahmanyan and Nagoor Styled Tamil Sufi singer Arifullah Shah Rafaee. The union between the two styles is seamless and feels like a match made in heaven. The song is composed by Sean Roldan and written by singer-songwriter Krithika Nelson. 

Here are the best Tamil songs released for the month of May 2023. If you are a musician submit your new music here.1. Chill Makka Song Composed, Arranged And Produced by Sean RoldanSinger: Pradeep KumarLyricist: Mohan RajanMusic Producer: Sean RoldanGenre: Latin Jazz/PopIt is no mean feat to have two splendid songs in the same album. It used to be a regular occurrence when Ilaiyaraja and AR Rahman used to have 4 to 5 fabulous songs packed into a single album. Anyway, Sean Roldan has done a tremendous job with both 'Naan Gaali' ( NO. 1 Tamil song last month) and Chill Makka topping this month. This is a Pradeep Kumar special, as the playback specialist shows why he is fantastic not only in morose songs, but he can pack a punch in breezy singles as well. If 'Naan Gaali' felt like a tribute to Maestro Ilaiyaraja, this feels like one to ARR, as I get a sense of some similarity with 'Kick Yeruthe' from the movie 'Padaiyappa'. Bhuvanesh Narayanan on Keys and Ricardo Jimenez on trumpets set the tone straight away giving the song a Latin Jazz tone. When a song is produced in this style, rhythms become a crucial element and this is where RK Sundar comes in for producing and recording the rhythms. It is then Pradeep chilling out with his vocals and you can sense the minute vibrato and improvised ghamakas Pradeep brings to the table.Vijay Ganesan makes his presence felt on the electric guitars, while Aalaap Raju shines on his bass guitars. The line "Enni paaru, Sonna Kelu" is when you can hear the fantastic interplay between Trumpets, bass guitars, Keys and rhythms. The stanza begins with some nice Accordion sounds accompanying Pradeep's lead, and the most astonishing line is when he sings "Kolla inbam irukku, athai alla neram othu" and kudos to Sean, Mohan Rajan on lyrics and Pradeep for getting it done perfectly blended. The recording engineers are Manoj Krishna, and Aswin George John with Cedric Sherwin, and Guru Hariraj assisting. The second interlude is beautiful with the Keys, Harmonica, and electric guitar. Balu Thankachan is the mix/master engineer with Paul Daniel assisting. MP Vijay of Silver Tree Management is the manager for Sean Roldan. @rseanroldan @mohanrajan_lyrici @the.meethling @pradeep_kumar1123 @vjganesan @bhuvanesh_keys @aalaapraju @ricardo.jimenez.music @silvertreeoffl @thebaluthankachan2. Thaaragaye Music: Barath DhanasekarLyricist: Hemanth Prakash Singer: Abhijith AnilkumarGenre: Filmi PopI am extremely delighted with Barath Dhanasekar's composition in the new album "Halal Shawarma" because there are two fantastic songs which are getting featured here this month. A few months ago I featured a very beautiful melody by him in Telugu called 'Naa Dhaarullonaa'. This song is composed and produced by Barath with Abhijit Anilkumar on vocals and Hemanth Prakash writing the lyrics. I remember Abhijit's fantastic number for the Malayalam album "Vaashi" last year and here he reminds me of singer Haricharan, especially in the higher pitch singing "Tharagaye tholaivagidave, aarirule". Hemanth Prakash writes these beautiful lines.Sanjay Balajee beings the proceedings with a beautiful solo on the flute, giving out the song's opening, and Naveen Napier plays the bass guitar. The song has a rich Pallavi and Anu Pallavi as well, and here we have sounds of the acoustic guitar by Sam Solomon and Veena by Anantha as well playing in the background. Pavithran Jack and Shiva Sai play all the percussion. Paying closer attention there is also a layer of the flute and vocal harmonies in the background, so well done Barath for the fantastic arrangements and production. Dan Kristen does all the keyboard programming, with Rokesh Antoney and Immanuel Raj on additional programming. We have a Harris Jayaraj styled fast-paced, Veena and bass guitar-filled interlude aided by catchy rhythms. Barath composes a very exciting stanza with this line being the best "ranamana enathullam, thudikkum aazhangalil". This is one fantastic single with Abhijit excelling in all the ghamakas, timed and executed to perfection. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Roshan Sebastian. @abhijithanilkumar_ @flute_balajee @dystopian_hippie @napier_naveen @saregamatamil @percussion_pavithran @dan_kristen @roshansebastian 

Here are the best Tamil songs released for the month of April 2023. If you are a musician submit your new music here.1. Naan GaaliSingers - Sean Roldan, Kalyani Nair Lyricist - Mohan Rajan Programmed, Arranged and Produced by Sean Roldan Genre: Filmi Melody/PopSean Roldan has been a busy man of late composing songs for Coke Studio Tamil, but more than the songs there I have been incredibly impressed with his score in this movie 'Goodnight'. It is a movie that is being raved about thanks to a great screenplay and acting performance by Manikandan. Kollywood for ages has been dependent on songs and background scores to elevate a movie and its messaging and Sean Roldan like before has set out in the right direction for this movie. His songs and score for 'Jai Bhim' in 2021 were excellent and with 'Goodnight' his songs have created enough hype for me to watch the movie too. I have long been proclaiming that the trio of Pradeep Kumar, Sean Roldan and Santhosh Narayanan is the greatest thing that happened to Tamil music since 2010, and with all of them rising, Sean stands out as the closest we have to Ilaiyaraja in terms of the core melody of a song. Sean's formula for success is simple - to keep the song's melody pure and rich. He does that with this amazing song and with his unique vocal tone we only fall in love more. Kalyani Nair the multi-faceted musician joins on board as a vocalist and she fully handles the arrangements of the strings section. It is outstanding in the stanzas, interludes and especially the outro. The song is programmed, arranged and produced by Sean Roldan. The lovely whistle and in close quarters we have Ashwin Suresh playing the acoustic guitars, and he also plays the electric guitar. Watch out for the fantastic keys that come in during the opening lines.When he sings "Balcony Kathula, vasam than kooduthu" we hear the fantastic strings in the background thanks to the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, and it is composer Balasubramanian G who is the Orchestra Coordinator. The song's tone reminds me of Sean's score for the album "Power Paandi". The supreme convergence of guitars, strings, keys and rhythms is just like a symphony of love. The interlude which has the guitars playing and the mild pauses on the drums and strings reminds of Genius Ilaiyaraja's works as well, especially when you hear Kalyani's humming. The stanza picks off from that humming and we are taken back to the 80s and 90s when Janaki used to dominate in such songs. I have been critical of Sean's vocal performances of late especially when the notes are high-pitched, but here he is on fire. The line "heartu rateu eruthe, fuse pona lifelum, bulbu brightu aaguthe" is magical, to say the least. It makes my life and day brighten up like a bulb when I hear these notes and the strings section works overtime in the background. Mohan Raja has shown his wittiness with these fantastic lyrics. The sorcery of the guitars and female humming continues in the second interlude and I am thankful Sean went for two stanzas, something I miss in today's songs. Aswin George is the recording engineer at Sounds Right and the song is mixed and mastered by Balu Thankachan at 20db with Paul Daniel assisting this session. Songs of the Maestro like "Rojan poo aadivanthathu" are what I keep getting reminded of when I hear this phenomenal chart-busting song. Thank you Sean Roldan and team. 2. Timeless LoveSong Composed by: Ilaiyaraaja Arranged and Produced by: Yuvan Shankar Raja Lyrics: Madan Karky Singer: Yuvan Shankar Raja, Kapil Kapilan Genre: Blues/PopI played this song with very low expectations because the music has been decent if not very good in a Venkat Prabhu film. As the song began I was slowly intrigued and by the time we hit the stanza, I was sold. The song had credits mentioning Yuvan Shankar Raja and I came to know that he is the man behind the terrific arrangements and production. Kudos to Yuvan for coming up with the goods again, but little did I know that the song was composed by the Maestro Ilaiyaraja. The stanza is clearly in his style and it also shows what he is still capable of. Napoleon's seductive flu solo plays in the beginning, almost like "Elangathu Veesuthe". Kapil Kapilan lends his astonishing voice and he shines in such vocally-demanding songs, we have a fantastic Blues-pop song here. The finger flicks, the Saxophone and the Upright bass are so intricately arranged. The song feels very much like Maestro's 'Puthu Mappillaikku" from 'Aboorva Sagotharargal'. The Trumpets and Trombone are played by Babu while the Saxophone is executed by Raja, and they all come alive in the interlude. The melody in the stanza is the highlight and who other than Ilaiyaraja could come up with a tune like this? My favourite lines are " pencil aale enthan vazhvai maatri theetinaay...kalloori naatkil yaavilum en thogai aaginay". As a music lover and a music journalist, it is for these moments that I live and pray. These lines to me feel like a bit of Bihag Ragam. Kapil Kapilan, who I have long been claiming as one of India's finest vocalists now performs for Ilaiyaraja and with this kind of panache. The second interlude is a supreme coming together of all live instruments and feels like a fine piece of Theatre music. The brisk tempo drops just in time for the start of the stanza, and that is fantastically innovative. The male harmonies are by Sam, Sarath Santhosh, Narayanan. The song mildly also reminds me "Oho Megham vanthatho". M Kumaraguruparan has done the mixing and mastering. 

Here are the best Tamil songs released for the month of March 2023. If you are a musician submit your new music here.1. Aga Naga Composed, Produced and Arranged by A.R.Rahman Singer: Shakthisree Gopalan Lyrics: Ilango Krishnan Music Supervisor: Nakul Abhyankar Genre: Filmi melody/BalladPS 2 album is out and I will be focussing on the EP later as most songs got released in April. However, this song was released in March and it has been marching on successfully and possibly also as the best song of the EP. AR Rahman has probably done better in PS-2 compared to PS-1 because the previous EP had too many styles going on and I couldn't quite understand the link with the Chola Period or regime. The song's soul lies in Shaktisree Gopalan's mystical vocals. ARR succeeds in using the Chennai Strings & Sunshine Orchestra brilliantly right through. All the Orchestra is conducted by Jerry Vincent with Score Transcription by Suprava Mukherjee. Even before a single word is uttered, we have the strings and the heart-melting flute solo by Nikhil Ram. Ilango writes these superlative lyrics and despite being a native Tamil speaker, I do not follow the words and that shows the research and work that has gone into the writing. The heart swells in joy when she sings "yaar athu , yaar athu, punnagai korpathu" and the magnetic voice combines with the strings in the background and the Tabla Tarang played by Sai Shravanam. There could be potentially some influence of Bilaval Thaat in the song. Nakul Bhyankar is the music supervisor and also does additional programming along with Srikant Krishna. Vignesh of Sunshine Orchestra plays the Solo Violin, and with Nikhil's flute solo the interlude ends and here I felt there were Raag Maand influences. The stanza is quite complex in the way the notes are progressively written, with almost 100% unpredictability in the trajectory. Maybe there is an intended shift of emotions from joy to sadness during the song's visuals and hence the drift in the notes. I did find the lack of a proper landing between the charanam and Pallavi to be a little awkward. Haritha Raj plays the Veena solo and Vignesh's solo on the violin in the outro is another clincher. The sound engineers are Suresh Permal, Karthik Sekaran, TR Krishna Chetan, Aravind Crescendo, Suryansh Jain, Pradeep Menon, Manoj Raman, Sathya Narayanan, Ainul and Sathish V Saravanan. The song is mixed by Pradeep Menon and mastered by Suresh Permal, with Apple Digital Master by Riyasdeen Riyan2. Yaar ArindhadhoSinger: Pradeep Kumar Lyrics: Yugabharathi Music Director: Kannan Narayanan Genre: Ballad/Filmi MelodyI am featuring Kannan Narayanan for the very first time as a composer and I am incredibly impressed. The EP "Thalaikoothal" has a couple of good songs but this one stands out. Though Pradeep Kumar can carry a song's entire weight on his shoulders, and he does that a bit here too, Kannan has a fair share of influence on the outcome of the song. His arrangements and production deserve a massive round of applause as they remind us of the Maestro Ilaiyaraja's great songs like " Atho megha oorvalam" and "Kadhalin theepam ondru" and that is why probably this song has influences of Vaasanthi Ragam, but I also hear that there is a lot of Mohanam Ragam in the mix. Within the Pallavi and Anupallavi, Kannan explores areas to arrange the strings section beautifully. We have a fantastic set of live instrumentalists viz. Kalyanam on Solo violin, Selva, Gopi, Balu, Baskar on Viola, Murali, Girijan, Mohan and Cyril on Violins and finally Seenu on Cello. |The interludes are so elaborate, and I haven't heard this in a long time in Tamil or any music industry for a while. Vikram is on rhythms and Ganapathy is playing the Tabla. The stanza is well composed also, and I love the line " uyara uyara, parandhu parthal, bhoomiyum pulliye". Kiran plays the flute solo, and in the second interlude, we have even more resemblances to Ilaiyaraja's genius. Mani plays the Mandolin and Siva on the Veena. Kannan has done all the guitar and keyboard programming and these elements stand out as well in the song. Enjoy this song for all its innate richness and mesmerising vocals and production. Yugabharathi writes the most touching and meaningful words.  3. Mainaru Vetti Katti Lyrics: MUTHAMIL Singers: Anirudh Ravichander, Dhee Composed, Arranged and Programmed by Santhosh Narayanan 

Here are the best Tamil songs released in January 2023. The list of 15 songs have been picked from over 60 releases. MagizhiniComposed & Produced by Rini and Shakthisree GopalanLyrics: Shakthisree Gopalan & Rajesh SridharShaktisree Gopalan moved to NY City after graduation from Berklee College of Music. She is being missed in the Tamil Indie as well as Kollywood music scene. But when we live in the post covid world of digital innovation, one can score music from anywhere in the world, record it from somewhere else and have a vocalist living 1000 miles away, yet everything comes out like a perfectly mixed hot cappuccino. The song is composed and produced by Shaktisree and Rini. The lyrics have both English and Tamil sections and they are penned by Shaktisree and Rajesh Sridhar. The moment we get the instruments playing the notes, I got a sense that maybe there is some Nalinakanti Ragam in the tune. Rini vocally performs the Swaras, and this is the first time I am hearing and reviewing Hairini Raghavan a.k.a. Rini who is NY based singer, composer and violinist. Shaktisree's English lines are so endearing and soothing like a balm on a burn. Her vocals and delivery act as a perfect compliment to Rini's energetic lines in Tamil. We have some amazing live instrumentalists here like Marco Bolfelli on Guitar, Maxime Cholley on Drums, Marcelo Maccagnan on Bass, Carrie Frey on Viola, Thea Mesirow on Cello. All these amazing musicians are band members who work and tour with Rini. In fact, I am excited to see her and the band perform live in Mumbai on Feb 23rd. The song is a creative force of bringing in a classical Carnatic Raga and fusing it with some slow Blues music. Kudos to the duo. The intertwined exhibition of the strings section, bass guitars, acoustic guitars and drums give me a feeling of 'Magizhini' (happiness). The track is mixed and mastered by Daniel Alba. The solo Violin is outstanding as it appears past the 3rd minute and the combined vocal humming of the two artists is powerful to close things.  Nee Podhum Enakku Song Composed, Arranged and Programmed by - SAM CS Additional Programming- Abey Singer: Pradeep Kumar Lyrics: Kabilan The movie 'Michael' is being termed as a stylish version of KGF that tries to mimic it. The song that stood out in the album is this beautiful melody and it is even more resounding because of Pradeep Kumar's vocals. I did listen to the Telugu Version by Sid Sriram, but this one by Pradeep is just far better in my opinion. Kabilan writes these splendid lyrics and Sam CS continues to show why he is one talent you cannot write-off or discount. Balaji steals the show with his Violin solo and Sam handles all the lovely arrangements and programming as well. The stanza is a continuation of the melody but what aids the passage perfectly are the backing vocal harmonies by Bhuvana Ananth, and Joseph Vijay's acoustic and bass guitars. At the end of the stanza, Pradeep shows there is none like him to sing with just finesses and impact. The keyboards and especially rhythm programming keep things pretty interesting to hear. Sam does a fine job in arranging the live instruments as well as harmonies. The one noticeable and excellent element is that Sam has two different stanzas, in terms of the score and that is a rare thing to observe these days. "Aen, manakulathila , mazhaiyene pozhigiraye" is the line in the first stanza, but when it comes to the 2nd stanza "Irumbayum murikkidum iru vizhi kadhal", these two are set to two entirely different sets of notes. CD Anbumani, Abishek Ar, S Aakash Edwin are the recording engineers, Balu Thankachan is the mixing and mastering engineer with assistance from Paul Daniel and Hariharan. The music production manager is K Mahima Chowdhary with Bhuvana Ananth being the music supervisor. Sooravali PolaMusic Composer: Sathish Nair Arranged & Programmed by: Vijayan Vincent I was puzzled when I heard this song in Hindi, wondering how and when did Bollywood start making such good songs. I was almost certain that this a south Indian song and I turned out to be right. The song is from a movie called "Regina" which is being made in Tamil and dubbed in other languages. Nowadays the trend is to release music in multiple languages with various singers. I loved the Shankar Mahadevan version in Hindi too, but Sid Sriram's version in Tamil is well executed because it doesn't have the usual elaborate alaap-styled renditions by Sid. Other than the vocals, don't forget to pay attention to the plethora of background instrumentals. Sachin Nair makes a lasting impression as the composer, and his aide Vijayan Vincent must be equally appreciated for the arrangements and programming because this song is elevated thanks to its arrangements of the Strings section. Balaji & Team plays the Strings with Cynthia on the Solo Violin, Viji on the Cello, Selvaraj on the Double Bass. The way Shankar sings "Sach kehta hoon, meri duniya hai tu" and it feels like listening to that great song "Maa" from 'Taare Zameen Par'. I can hear the brilliant woodwinds in the background as well in the anupallavi section. Bruce Lee Mani plays the acoustic guitar and Alaap Raju is the bassist. The Solo Violin catches your attention in the interlude reminding us of songs like "Poove Sempoove" by Maestro Ilaiyaraja. It is closely supported by acoustic and bass guitars. Vijayan and Sathish handle the Keys and Rhythm programming. The lines "raat bhar jag ke" clearly sounds like the lines "kadhal devadhaiye" from the song 'Germaniyin Senthaen Malare" by Ilaiyaraja. Senthil Prasath is the recording engineer and Hari Shankar has mixed and mastered the track. ThanimaiyileMusic Composed and Produced by Harish Venkat and Prashanth Techno (Madley Blues)Lyrics - Harish VenkatVocals - MS KrsnaThese guys Madley Blues are sincere and talented and I am happy that they landed a good project on Sony LIV called " Story of things". The album has at least 2-3 very beautiful songs, but what impressed me more was the BGM score for the web-series. However, this song which has two versions is an absolute ripper. I loved both versions but I am featuring the one sung by MS Krsna who does valiantly against a version sung by the majestic Pradeep Kumar on vocals. If a vocalist even makes his/her version half as memorable as the version by Pradeep, that is a fabulous feat but Krsna here goes for the kill and I really couldn't pick a favourite between the two. I do sense some fragments of Raag Bihag in the song and I feel like standing up in clapping my hands for the melody and production by Harish Venkat and Prashanth Techno. Keba Jeremiah plays the guitars impressively as always. The solo violin piece by Raghavasimhan is one of the best moments of the track. This lullaby will take you into a sone of utmost tranquillity. The sound engineers are Vishnu Raj, Hariharan and Paul. Harish Venkat is the lyricistVaa Vaathi Music: GV Prakash KumarSingers - Shweta Mohan Lyrics - Poetu Dhanush I loved this song when it was released in late December, but waited for a few more songs and now am gladly including it as part of the best Tamil songs of January. GV Prakash Kumar who is a celebrated musician impresses me with this single and this song is a combination of energy and melody. Rajkumar Amal whose music I was quite impressed with a couple of months ago when he composed for the album "Parole". Here he is in-charge of programming. Shweta Mohan is the lead vocalist for this track and it is an absolute treat to the ears. Naveen Kumar and Lalit Talluri, two amazing Flautists go charging together right at the start. The lyrics are quite witty and Poetu Dhanush makes it that way. The song resembles the style we have observed in albums like "P Pandi" by Sean Roldan, and "3" by Anirudh. The presence of the strings section in the background is a huge plus and we have to thank Chennai Strings Orchestra for their outstanding work. They are conducted by Balaji, and recorded by Ashwin George. Yadu Krishnan sings in the background in the interlude. The stanza is as beautiful as the Pallavi and GV Prakash showcases his talent in this score. You fall in love with SHweta's voice when she sings "Band a vasichu, grandu marriageu

Here is the list and review of the top songs in Tamil for the month of January, and they were picked from around 60 new releases in the month. The AMAZON playlist here has the full list in the same order of rankings shown below. https://music.amazon.in/user-playlists/700c6fb369ce485aa74d104de03b1fabi8n0?marketplaceId=A3K6Y4MI8GDYMT&musicTerritory=IN&ref=dm_sh_je2PCnPwp7ZuT3tTlYaPI3AKM 1. Naan Pizhai I can say that this is probably Anirudh’s best composition in a while, and this beats the rest of songs released in the last 2 years by a fair distance. I only feel a resemblance to his early days when he could also compose melodies. Suddenly all that vanished with more dance numbers to please the larger section of listeners, while there is no harm in that, except that it does also not hurt to create such wonderful pieces like these. This song is already becoming a rage among Instagram reel makers, and it is without a doubt probably January’s best song. Anirudh has composed and arranged with lyrics penned by Vignesh Shivn, which are quite impactful. The movie ‘Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kadhal’ already had a good number released last year. It is nice to see that other than the opening lines and a few more sung by Anirudh, he gets in Ravi G to probably sing the complex notes where the composer would probably have sounded less convincing. Shashaa Tirupati becomes a great choice for the female lead and she does deliver with a punch. The keys at the beginning are like the flowing breeze or the ocean waves that gently tough our feet and with the keyboard, synth programming by Anirudh, Arish and Pradeep PJ perform the additional keyboard programming. The song does evoke memory of tunes like “Malargale� by AR Rahman and maybe that is why there is a hint of Saranga, or maybe even a bit of Raag Hamirkalyani like we can relate to “En Uyir Thozhi� by MSV. All said and done this is a brilliant song with some great Orchestra scores by Balasubramanian G(the composer of the movie N4 and song “Thaniyae Kadhal�) and he has also co-ordinated working with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. The conductor is Zoltán Pad, Bálint Sapszon as contractor and co-orchestrator being Abhishek  Vishwanathan. The librarian is Agnes Sapszon and recording engineer is Viktor Szabó, with Rajesh Kannan as pro tools editor. Anirudh’s voice has a magnetic effect on you and it is on full display in this and the best line of the song is probably “azhaga siricha mugame�. Navin plays the flute in the interlude and I love the humming that follows. Keba Jeremiah can be heard playing the bass and electric guitars, and the grandeur of the orchestra comes to light due to some programming also by Ishaan Chhabra. The rhythm programming is by Anidudh additional engagement by Shashank Vijay. The track is engineered by Srinivasan M, Shivakiran S, and Pranjal, with mixing by Vinay Sridhar and Srinivasan and Stem mix and master by Sai Shravanam. 2.MugamoodiKaber Vasuki does well in the small opportunities he is given, as he did prove himself in “Dharala Prabhu� and the whole album of “Aelay�. This song is all him as he writes, composes and sings a wonderful number, which probably has the feeling of almost a theme or BGM score. Kaber sings with a huge investment in emotions and you can feel that as he soars into high scales, and the drums by Manu Krishnan and electric guitars by Sahib Singh accompanying are a treat to any ear, which loves the rock genre. He offers much more as we see a drop in the tempo and get enthralled by the solo violin, with bass and electric guitars in the background. The song will evoke emotions of various kinds like pathos, rage and celebration and that truly is to be credited to the composer. The outro on the violin by Akshay Ganesh is simply terrific. The track is mixed by Dilip Venkateswaran and mastered by John Tornblom 3.Uyir Thirandhu We just heard Balasubramanian G’s name working on the song “Naan Pizhai�. This time he is the composer and he shows he is qualified to be a composer creating this melodious piece. The song from “Infinity� is composed and arranged by him and it has the mesmerizing vocals of Pradeep Kumar with words written by Balamurugan. The guitars by Sam Solomon provide a fitting aid to Pradeep’s voice and they fill all the gaps when the vocalist takes a breath and pauses. Even during his previous composition called “ Thaniyae Kadhal� I did mention about the attempt to make music sound like Maestro Ilaiyaraja’s and here too Bala G does that. This is a massive compliment and I only hope the young musician sustains under the pressure of expectations. The song reminds me of “Poove Sempoove� at various instances, as the song has some great harmony as well arranged by Koshy Cherry.  The song beautifully drifts from the high-pitched and energetic title lines into the stanza. Abhishek B and Anu Koshy do the additional programming and mixing and mastering by Keerthivasan. 4.Arkali He is like the solar eclipse, coming not very often (wonder why, when his music is astounding) but creating an absolute spectacle when he shows up. Dhibu Ninan Thomas just a couple of months ago created one of the best Tamil (or even Indian) sons of 2021 with “Adiye� and he is back again with songs from “Kombu Vatcha Singamda�. We have two fantastic vocal performances viz. D sathyaprakash who is well known and Ala B Ala who has always been around in the back up vocals of most songs. Dhibu composes, arranges and programs with solid acoustic guitars by Vijay Joseph and bass support by Naveen Napier. Ala sounds a bit like Chinmayi Sripada and we hope she gets more opportunities to be the lead vocalist. There is a massive line up of Harmony singers including Abinaya Shenbagaraj , Sowmya Mahadevan , Deepthi Suresh , Nincy Vincent , Shenbagaraj G , Santosh Hariharan , Sarath Santhosh and Aravind Srinivas. The rhythms are strong and catchy along with strings by the Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra in the interlude and verse. The orchestra was conducted by Oleg Kondratenko with scoring by Collins Rajendran. Sathyaprakash delivers an impressive vocal performance. The recording engineers are Vishnu M, Mani Ratnam , Lijesh Kumar and Giorgi Hristovski with mixing by Kiran Lal and Balu Thankachan, mastering by Manoj Kumar and Shadab Rayeen. There are some excellent live instruments too in the song like Kishore playing the Sitra, Vishnu Vijay playing the flute and (Late) Thirumoorthy on Nadaswaram. The percussions are played by Krishna Kishore, Ganapathi , Venkat , Sruthiraj  and Kiran 5. Yennadi Seithai This looks like it is a bilingual film in Tamil and Telugu called “1945� and we have Yuvan Shankar Raja as the composer and Mohan Raja as the lyricist. Priya Mali just last month released a fantastic song on her own singing and composing “Patchai�. This time she delivers the female vocal lead wit great efficacy along with the stalwart Haricharan. The middle eastern influence is excellent thanks to the Oud/Rubab in the background and the interlude. The use of the tabla and Sarangi add to the classical and north Indian tradiational flavors. Haricharan singing in the higher scale and Priya in the bass scales in the stanza works quite well. 6. THOZHI The song opens up and you can sense the Govind Vasantha touch al over it, and that is not a bad thing at all especially since we know how Govind can be terrific in his compositions ever since 96. This is once again a Pradeep Kumar vocal special where he sings with immaculate ease any note that is offered to him. The use of the bass guitars and the strings draws you in as much as Pradeeps voice itself. When the Violin, which is most definitely played by Govind himself, you feel like the theme of 96 is playing and you fall in love all over again. We have Madan Karky writing the lyrics and Amith Bal and Rajan KS mixing and mastering the track. The way the track ends I did sense an influence of Abheri raagam in it. 7. Amma Song Just about month ago we had a song from “Valimai� talking about the irreplaceable relationship shared between a mother and son. That too was sung by Sid Sriram and as quite a lovely attempt by Yuvan Shankar Raja. This has the younger and new age composer Jakes Bejoy who is now becoming a pan-South Indian musician with regular releases in Malayalam and Tamil and now in Telugu. Incidentally it was Jakes Bejoy himself who made a song on the love of the Father called “Ilam Poove� from Anveshanam. The Malayalam song has no parallels and Sooraj Santhosh sang it brilliantly. Uma Devi needs to be give due credit for writing these touching words in this lovely dedication composed and produced by Jakes. Embar Kannan is at his splendid best on the solo violin with Nikhil Ram’s flute intervening. Sid Sriram excels at shifting between the lower and higher scales in no time. The female humming by Deepika Varadharajan and the Veena solo by Haritha Raj add great layers the interlude and somewhere when it ends I Was taken back to AR Rahman’s “Kannuku Mai Azhagu�. Godfrey Immanuel is solid as ever on the acoustic and bass guitars and they combine well with the flute and violin in union. Deepika’s cameo on the swaras sticks to your mind and I am thinking that there is probably some Ragam Maand in this song, and there is also an influence of Bihag in the track. The chorus arrangements are by Amal Anthony and he along with Jakes form the backup vocals. The strings we hear are fantastic thanks to Cochin Strings and we have Balu Thankachan on the mixing and mastering duties and Hari assisting him. The recording engineers are Daniel Joseph Antony, K.K.Senthil Prasath and Midhun Manoj 8. Veezhaedhae The movie is out and it has generated a lot of positive reviews, and how refreshing is it to see a composer become a director. Kudos to Darbuka Siva for ccomposing, arranging and programming some lovey music and this is the last track in this movie sung by Abhay Jodhpurkar and Keerthi writing the lyrics. One thank we should all straightaway appreciate Darbuka about is that if the movie is about the 1990s then the music should be representative of that without any of the modern tones and flavors we are exposed to. Every song is melodious and creates nostalgia just like this one here with the predominant influence of acoustic guitars by Keba Jeremiah who also plays the electric guitar in this one. Shyam Benjamin is on the keyboards and he provides perfect acocmpaniment to the guitar strokes creating a secondary layer. The song is simple without too many complexities and the Keys play a vital role in the second half of the song. Somehow the impact of the keyboards reminds me of the heydays of 90s English soft pop and maybe that too was totally intended by the composer.  Sanjana Kalmanje joins on the humming  in the end in this track mixed and mastered by Balu Thankachan with assistance from Elwin Joseph and Hariharan. The recording engineers are Dheeleben, Hafeez and Avinash Sathish. The way Keba plays it , I feel like I am listening to some Slide guitar from an American country song. 9. Pogathey It is difficult when musicians work hard to create a song and it really has a tough and delayed route to release. This excellent number was released on Spotify just recently and I loved it enough to inlcude in January’s best songs, but when I spoke to the composer I realized that it was composed and ready almost 5 years ago but is making its way into streaming apps only now. Like they say , it is better late than never , and you have some well known musicians working on this project. Singer Yogi Sekar has written the lyrics with guitarist/composer Simeon Telfer scoring the tune. Diwakar who was the winner of Super Singer 4 is the vocalist for this one and he really has brought his A game here. Simeon’s acoustic guitars and Napier Peter Naveenkumar’s bass guitars truly are perfect ingredients to make this final output sound brilliant. Diwakar delivers a fine performance in a song which doesn’t sound easy to execute in my opinion and when you hear the song it has a lot of tone and texture similarities to “Ennodu Nee Irunthal� by AR Rahman and sung by Sid Sriram. The track is mixed and mastered by Dr. Alfred. 10. Kaanal Neeraai The movie ‘Writer’ has been getting some rave reviews and it also must be appreciated for some excellent music from Govind Vasantha who has clearly been busy for the last few months composing in multiple projects. Pradeep Kumar is the vocalist and he has sung 3 splendid tracks this month making him the best performer of the month. Muthuvel is the lyricist, for this slow and simmering melody. This starts off with the wind instrument that is haunting, and it sounds very much like that great number “Life of Ram� from the album 96. The tempo is definitely different with this being much slowe still the resemblance is uncanny. The use of thavil and Jalra give the song a very pious and mysterious feeling together. 11. Thaalatum Mounam Ondril' Yuvan has clearly upped his game recently with releases galore and also composing and producing indie music in Tamil. The song is sung by tamil music’s own nightingale Swetha Mohan with lyrics by Karthik Netha. The song is from the movie ‘Kuruthi Attam’ which has a couple of good songs released earlier. The track is mixed and mastered by M Kumaraguruparan, and it has some excellent programming. The flute solo in the interludes at various points in the song is quite catchy and apt. 12. Alai Alai This remkae of the fantastic Malayalam movie is eagerly awaited and it has two popular Sri Lankan actors who particiapted in the Bigg Boss Tamil reality show Losliya and Tharshan. I don’t know yet about the movie, but it is a dependable bet that the producers have gone and taken Ghibran to score the music. GV Prakash and Deepthi Suresh are lead vocalists and the latter is now slowly rising as a lead singer , and moving away from the backing vocal experiences. Dr. V Sritharan is the music supervisor while Gold Devaraj is the music assistant as usual. The backing vocals are fantastically done and arranged comprising of Shenbagaraj, Sarath Santosh and Aravind Srinivas singing in various scales almost resembling a A Capella. The ethnic strings instruments keep playing in the background and interludes and it is by SM Subhani while Rithu Vysakh plays the solo violin. The song is mixed and mastered by Abin Pushpakaran and recorded by Wesley. Andria Miranda and Britto David produce the track with all additional song arrangements by Hary Nair, VM Bharath and LJ Vijay. GV Prakash has been pretty busy acting and composing and he delivers his vocal performances quite well too when they are offered to him. 13. Lol Lol Arasan He is one of favorite young talents Ajesh and he had a terrific album last year called ‘Sarbath’. Here he gives you one progressive /Alt rock kind of a number with some terrific synth and keyboard programming. How creative to get Baba Sehgal to sing this, maybe it was Ajesh’s dream to make him sing for his composition. The male humming that keeps coming often is way to catchy to get out of your head, and the interlude has this saxophone (played on a keyboard) which is splendid in construct and execution as well. Vivek is the lyricist and this song will definitely be playing most audio systems of cars for a while. Keba Jeremiah is on the electric guitars. 14. Running away 6091 is not just a number, it is the moniker of a musician whose pedigree should have actually taken him towards Carnatic music, but it is only the Carnatic space‘s loss that a talented young musician Gopikrishnan moves into indie music. He has been featured here before and he works with some excellent vocalists like Bindu Anirudhan here for this teasing and engaging number. The song is written by Bindu and Shama Ahmed and the song is composed by Bindu as wel. It discusses the mental state of an artist falling prey to externalities which end up driving the artist into a crazy fit. 6091 produces, mixes and masters the track and thanks to his contribution you can hear sounds that you never would in a traditional production. The ultimate purpose of music is to deliver a message through sounds and 6091 uses Lo-fi and instruments found in nature to perfect the output. Bindu’s singing creates a brdige for the listener to cross and enter the mind of this disgruntled musician, who is the subject of the song. Manu Mohan handles the album art.

The link below has the playlist on AMAZON PRIME https://music.amazon.in/user-playlists/557b4e2dd46a4d95a105e1440627cc45i8n0?marketplaceId=A3K6Y4MI8GDYMT&musicTerritory=IN&ref=dm_sh_crbGjJNs0b527ElXnBtf0tx4A Don’t break my heart RR Dhruvan is proof that the south Indie music industry and Telugu specifically is thriving and spreading its wings wider. I have featured him a few times and I am not at all surprised by the quality that emerges from him. Aditi Bhavaraju is a stunning singer and it is a heavily competitive space. The keys and her vocals drive the song forward with all the programming done by Achu Rajamani. The lyrics are written by Rakendu Mouli in Tamil. Sabin Suma Jose has mixed and mastered the track. The Piano is aided by bass-lines, rhythms and well-arranged harmonies. The solo violin in the front, and strings in the background have a scintillating interlude. This even continues into the stanza dominated by Aditi’s vocals. Aditi’s high-pitched singing and the way she emotes every word is worth listening to on loop multiple times. It is stunning how perfect her diction is in Tamil, being a Telugu singer, and it is a lesson for many budding singers. Ennai aalum pennilave Gopi Sundar is the master of melody and I am glad that his horizon has expanded from just Mollywood into Tollywood and Kollywood. This video stars Bigg Boss Tamil Season 3 winner Mugen Rao from Malaysia and more importantly it has the powerhouse vocals of Pradeep Kumar. The song is an enchanting melody straight out of the 1990s Tamil cinema, with a great set of live instruments as well. The acoustic and bass guitars are definitely playing a role here along with . The stanza is short and simple but it hits the right notes. The keys and strings dominate the second interlude along with the beautiful humming by Priyanka NK. She performs in the second verse. Gopi has arranged, composed and programmed the track, with Midhun Anand mixing and mastering the track. Uma Devi is the lyricist. Ivalai Polae M.S.Jones Rupert is a music producer, composer and Pianist who has been very busy and consistent with some good compositions in 2020 and 2021, and he continues in that trajectory here. He composes this and ropes in Priyanka NK to do the vocals and Navin B beautifully pens the words. The music video is excellently directed as well by Common Man Sathish but the choreography and presence of Akshitha Ravindran steals the show. Jones and Priyanka perform the vocals in harmony and look out for the Violin interlude which adds to the grandeur. There are elements of either Karaharapriya or Reethigowlai in the track. The flute and stynths become two more important elementary sounds in the track. Kanda Kanavu Anand Kashinath has been creating some very enjoyable singles in Tamil, and I also have been featuring them from time to time and here he combines with another usual suspect in Sublahshini to compose a very likable and loop-worthy number. The duo have composed this second single from “In my vazhkaiâ€? and thanks to her mesmerizing vocals, this one is an instant humdinger. Sajin Stanly has mixed and Joshua Daniel has mastered the track. The thavil gets introduced into the song and it reminds us of “Kathalikkum Penninâ€? by AR Rahman. The trumpets are a good addition to the mix of things in the interlude and keeps the fun and frolic high. Maayaavi This is another love song dedicated to lovers during the pandemic and the struggles they went through. Ashwin PM directs the video but more importantly Abu Thahir composes the tune. A very delightful melody which grows on you even stronger thanks to the vocalists Santhosh Balaji and Aishwarya Ravichandran. Keba Jeremiah’s guitars enhance the melody, and Karthik Vamsi gets the rhythms spot on through his drums and percussion. Abin Pushpakaran has mixed and mastered the track with mix assistance from Thooyavan. Lokesh and Avinash Satish are the recording engineers. Sowndharya K handles the make-up and Leela Jennifer works on costumes. If you pay attention the melody draws some parallels to “Anarkaliâ€? by AR Rahman from the movie ‘Kangalal Kaidhu Sei’. Mother Song A song from an Ajith movie is always eagerly expected from fans and it immediately becomes a super hit irrespective of its melody or emotional connect. This time I myself thoroughly enjoyed the number and even though we have a plethora of “mother-son sentimentâ€? songs in Tamil, this one can be definitely added to the list that makes an impact. Sid Sriram becomes an obvious choice right now in Kollywod for lullabies like this and he keeps the vocals solid without overdoing any of the aalaps. Vignesh Shivn is increasingly making a name for himself and a trusted and dependable lyricist and this is another feather in his cap. Yuvan composes and arranged this beauty, and once again it is Keba Jeremiah’s silken fingers on acoustic, electric and bass guitars that drive the track in to another orbital. KJ Vijay plays the flute in the interlude and M Kumaraguruparan records, mixes and masters the track Patchai Priya Mali has been around singing for various composers and she has been featured quite often. This time it is her own composition and she sigs with such finesse that you immediately fall in love. Lyrics are penned by ADK, and after that ravishing humming which tells me that is probably some “Karaharapriyaâ€? raaga influence. Listen to that splendid solo on the electric violin by Nataraj and Napier Naveen Kumar is on the bass guitars. The track is mixed by Sujith Hyder and mastered by Suesh Permal. All additional programming is by Vijay LJ, with recording by Vimal John and Lokesh Vijaya. There are also hints of “Nataikurunjiâ€? in the interludes. The Nadaswaram and flute also have been effectively and generously used through the track Poonja Kannazhagi This is a song that will stand the test of time. Yes I mean that, and this straight away jumps to become one of the best Tamil and Indian songs of 2021 according to me. Biju Sam has composed this stunner and also produced and arranged the live instruments. There are two talented singers who made a name for themselves at the latest Super Singer show on Star Vijay viz. Adithya R.K. and Reshma Shyam. Dhamayanthi is the lyricist responsible for writing these beautiful words. Gustavo Eiriz is just masterful on the acoustic guitar romanticizing the whole track and taking you back to your school days where you first fell in love. The string section reverberates in your ears and it feels like something out of a symphony. They are played by the Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by Oleg Kondratenko and orchestrated by Srikanth Krishna. Biju himself plays the bass guitars and the track’s engineers are Jerbaraj on recording, Ishit Kuberkar on mixing and Christian Wright on mastering. Just listen to the interludes and background instrumentals like whistles, and strings and you will stand up in ovation appreciating Biju Sam. There are fragments of songs like “Love Polladhadhuâ€? by Sean Roldan somewhere in between, but nothing can take away credits from Biju Sam for this breathtaking number. If Adithya teases you, then Reshma mesmerizes you. Raegaigal Justin Prabhakar is right in the middle of a phenomenal purple patch I must say. A year or so ago he was just making inroads into Tamil and Telugu cinema, but now has composed for a Netflix Hindi movie “Meenakshi Sundareshwarâ€? and now a Pan India film called “Radhe Shyamâ€?. Sathyaprakash is the lead vocalist and there is a massive team of backing vocalists that includes Sam P Keerthan, Yogi Sekar, Shibi Srinivasan, Sugandh Shekar, and Pavan. The interludes are laden with the Saxophone by MSV Raja and Acoustic guitars by Arun Chiluveru. The live drums by Suresh Peters and bass guitars by Naveen Napier enhance the groove and funk quotient of the song. The additional keys are played by Anurag Saikia, Sebastian Satish, Bharath Dhanasekar C and Dishon Prince. The track is mixed by Balu Thankachan with Hariharan assisting, while Shadab Rayeen has mastered the track. Sadhikaariye It’s a return to composition for Diwacara Thiyagarajan after more than a year, and I have been looking forward to this. He does make a stylish return with Anand Aravindakshan and Sanjana Kalmanje playing lead vocalists. The sounds are really fresh and the guitar strokes provide much needed cheer played by Vijay Ganesan. It is not just the pallavi but the charanam as well that sound very hummable with Sanjana and Anand complimenting each other. The lines “Kanaa Kanaa nee thanadiâ€? are just wonderful and sung with oomph by Anand. Mohan Rajan writes the lyrics, and Shibi Srinivasan has given additional vocals’ performance and arrangements for the same. The track is produced and mixed by Vinod Ravi Sundar, with mastering by Rupendar Venkatesh and Divine Joseph, Kashyap, Shivanesh and Lijesh as recording engineers. Tappasu Neram Karthik is silently traversing into greater heights without anyone’s notice as a composer par excellence. So far it is only GVM who is offering him opportunities which is a little sad, considering Karthik is creative, like the way he did with “Guitar Kambi Mel nindruâ€? and solid in some of the Ondraga Originals. Anyway in this new movie featuring Varun from Bigg Boss 5, the song created waves when it was played as a morning song a few weeks ago, and now the more you hear it, the more you fall in love with it. Karthik composed, produced and arranged the track, sung by this phenomenal teen called Krishna K. The other lead vocalist is the famous Gana Guna who is well known in Kollywood, and we have some unbridled talent like Amrit Ramnath, Malavika Shankar and Manisha S as backing vocalists. Vivek is the lyricist, all the additional programming is by Ashok Sridharan, Balaji Gopinath and Sakkthivel. The vocals dominate the song with some interesting support from Keys and rhythms. The way Guna sings “pappa pa pappa ppaâ€? is just stylish beyond compare and he goes to deliver his lines with glitz as always. Joseph Vijay in on guitars, and all Stem mixing and mastering is by Sai Shravanam. The synth programming and production all work brilliantly to get perfect output. Aakash Rajan is the studio assistant and the track is mixed by Karthik and Aswin George John. Ullam Urugudhaiya Never keep this man out of the race, as Imman will somehow find his way into the best every single month. This time it is from the movie “Etharkkum Thunindhavanâ€? with Suriya as the lead. Pradeep Kumar is really making a remarkable comeback in to mainstream playback singing after laying low and involved in indie music. Vandana Srinivasan, and Brindha Manickavasakan are the female lead vocalists in the song. The Konakkol we hear at the beginning are by Ganapathy also plays the Mridangam, and the solo Violin is played by Manoj creating moments of nostalgia with the sounds. All the Indian percussions are conducted by Kaviraj and performed by Babu, Pradeep, Raja, Balu, Saravanan, David, Chiranjeevi and Azhagiri. Vandana and Pradeep totally grab the opportunity with both their hands and deliver a supreme vocal performance. Imman interestingly introduces he old version of “Ullam Urugutahiyyaâ€? in to the mix. Keba Jeremiah plays the acoustic and bass guitars while Subhani plays the stringed instruments. The Harmony team does a fabulous job and it comprises of Santosh Hariharan, Deepak, Shenbagaraj, Aravind Srinivas, Narayanan, Vignesh, Veena Murali, Sowmya Mahadevan, Deepthi Suresh, Abinaya Shenbagaraj, Ala B Bala and Soundarya Nandakumar. Let us forget to credit the kid’s chorus team as well comprising of Neha, Idhazhika, Dhanyasri, Shivathmika, Sahana. The Elfe Choir comprises of Roe Vincent, Angelin Nisha, Sheryl Suraj, Deepa Shankar, Nisha Sharon, Krithika Konda, Sneha Sathya, Padmaja Sreenivasan, Snigdha Chandra, Anuj Mathew, Rohit Sridhar, Reshwin Nishith, Aneesh Solomon Elfe Choir conducted by Maria Roe Vincent. Yugabharathi is the lyricist. Yenadi Penne Breezy, catchy, call it whatever you want, but it for certain will make you take notice of the inherent melody. The humming and solo violins by Balaji and Manoj strike you straight away and what else do you expect from one of the pioneers in Sam. C.S. I get a feeling from the opening lines that there could be some influence of Raag Saraswathi as the lines bear similarity to “Karpoora Bommai Ondruâ€?. Abhijit Rao’s vocals are fascinating and I am reminded of Balaram who has sung for AR Rahman, with some resemblance to the vocal texture of PB Sreenivos. The month is dominated by Keba Jeremiah who has appeared in multiple of these songs and here too he plays all the versions viz. acoustic, bass and electric guitars. Sam has written the lyrics and the song has a lot of Latino Jazz style to it. The Keys are played by Abey Terrence Antony. All the strings section we hear in the background in the verse are by Chennai Orchestra. The track is mixed and mastered by B. Thiru, with CD Anbumani as the recording engineer. Bhuvana Ananth is the music supervisor , Aishwarya and Kannan are the production managers.  The playlist link is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnzHXmlVC7notAOhgldB0DHqPIpFd0ojf
