 KADAL (2013) TAMIL MUSIC REVIEW
by The Vibrations Music Blog

Director : Mani ratnam
Music : A R Rahman
Lyrics : Vairamuthu, Madan Karky, Aryan dinesh

Whenever ace director Mani ratnam teams up with A R Rahman there is huge expectation and they prooved time and again that they are the best team so far, except for the box office failure Raavan.

This time for KADAL A R Rahman experiments with wide range of genres for each song.

Songs are very much genre specific and fusion elements are minimal. that can be felt with recent Rahman Music, that clearly indicates how mature he became through the years, just like the wine getting better and better with age.

The album starts with the song

Adiye sung by sid sriram, is a jazz song the genre very rarely used in indian films, song is enhanced by the very distinct voice of sid and tune is very much unconventional. its not a catchy song but gets better with each hearing.

Anbin Vaasale is a christian devotional song with chorus, sung by haricharan instantly catchs up your mind and stays with you, lyrics is top notch. the song prooves A R Rahman 's range with diverse genre.

Chitirai nila : is lullaby sung by Vijay Yesudas son of great Yesudas, repeat hearing just memerises you. beautiful orchestrtion especialy the voilin bits and the chorus.

Elai Keechan sung the mozart of madras himself is a catchy folk song, hummable and typical composed in ARR style.

Magudi Magudi is a club song, easily the weakest song of the lot, depends heavily on the visualisation. nothing great in composition or lyrics. some portion of the song reminds the boom boom robo da song from enthiran ( ROBOT).

Moongil Thottam : it is a melodious duet sung beautifully by abhay and harini boosted by nice lyrics. this song will stay for longer time. 

Nenjukulle is also a melodiuos song with simple orchestration but with rahman stamp all over it.

Verdict : Buy this gem :)
