Sarvam Audio

Ilaiyaraja's mature, rough voice isn't exactly the best choice for the youthful Adadaa Vaa... but he does manage to bring some flippancy into his voice and the natural rustic nature of his voice is balanced out by the hipness in the portions sung in English by the female singers. But the highlights of this song are undoubtedly the flute interludes that are totally hypnotic. Sila IravugaL... is an awesome number whose only downside is that it is sung by Yuvan himself. The tune, especially the way each stanza ends with a stretched-out needhaane... and then segues into the first line's needhaane..., is superb and is matched by the orchestration. Suttaa Suriyanai... is an inspirational song and Yuvan falls back to the template he uses for such songs(like Vallavan's Hip Hip Hurray...) with strong, heavy beats. The song has a strong similarity to Megam Karukkudhu... but Yuvan cleverly introduces a line from that song and turns it into a homage. KaatrukkuLLe... is a trademark Yuvan melody that he once again butchers by rendering it himself. His diction and singing are bad throughout but the high-pitch portions actually make us wince. Considering this is said to be a romance, its surprising that SiragugaL... is the only real duet. The number has a slightly old-fashioned feel and reminds us of Boys' Ale Ale.... The Theme Music uses a couple of different styles but isn't really catchy and makes us think the flute interlude in Adadaa Vaa... could've worked just as well.

Yuvan has shared a good rapport with director Vishnuvardhan in the past and he reinforces that again with one of his better albums in recent times though it still falls short of his best efforts.
