1. Penne Pogathey - Listen here
Singers: Clinton Cerejo, Sam Keerthan, Timothy Madhukar
Lyricist: Pa. Vijay
"Penne Pogathey" sound a teen pop with a lot of Yuvan feel in it. Clinton voice is credible in this yuppie song sung by the hero after he has seen the heroine for the first time. Lavish guitar flows throughout reminding bubblegum pops. The purpose of having this song is achieved.
2. Muzhumadhi - Listen here
Singers: Vijay Yesudas, Bela Shende
Lyricist: Na. Muthukumar
"Muzhumadhi" is a soft melody delicately paced so well to follow and be with. The interlude bits are great with a clean mix of instruments. Particularly the flute in the second. Na. Muthukumar's metaphors make this number a wholesome love duet. Vijay Yesudas and Bela Shende are excellent in this. Pick of the pack.
3. Yaaro Ival Ival - Listen here
Singers: Mukesh, Bela Shende
Lyricist: Na. Muthukumar
"Yaaro Ival Ival" Is a real cheerful number with hearty drums. The tempo rocks you thorough out the song. Shenai interludes give a divine status to this love song. Again Bele Shende excels this time with Mukesh. The simple words of Muthukumar and the pulsating rhythm combined with beautiful vocals makes this song memorable. Very impressive you can fall in love. Another Pick of the pack.
4. Thada Thada - Listen here
Singer: Clinton Cerejo, Satish Chakravarthy
Lyricist: Na. Muthukumar
"Thada Thada" is as pleasing as a 80's Illayaraja lovelorn melody. Minimal rhythmic notes taken to top by the vocals. Interludes are pleasingly different with assortment. Strings and veena one time and a neat slow rap the other time. Nice.
5. Muzhumadhi - Listen here
Instrumental
A delightful instrumental interpretation of `Muzhumadhi' song. Piano and flute ably conducted by drums. As good as the original.
When you finish hearing all the songs of this album you feel you've become few years younger and more positive. The album is definitely worth its money. All the songs are fitting to a romance, particularly the songs Muzhumadhi and Yaaro Ival Ival are O. HO. Satish Chakravarthy who debuted with a dull `Leelai' has come back very strongly but notably influenced by Yuvan.
Now the only concern is the visuals and picturisation of these songs match the creativity and inherent sweetness of the songs.
