Kumki Music User Review - Taking It Forward From Mynaa
Prabhu Solomon's next - 'Kumki' features Vikram Prabhu, son of thespian Sivaji Gaensan within the lead. The music launch saw big guns Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan and with them came numerous hype for the soundtrack. After the success of Mynaa, Prabhu Solomon joined hands with D Imman another time for the music of Kumki, as a way to tell the tale a couple of mahout. You get 7 songs with the album and three karaokes, a few of which prove to be an actual treat.
Yella Oorum - Benny Dayal, D Imman
The album opens with "Yella Oorum", an obvious opening/introduction song that grows on you with every listen. A MIX of people and a few more modern compositions, it has an excellent vibe going about it. The percussions within the track are very rural and are occasionally heavy between the lines. A FAIR job by the blending team makes the song sound much more prominent, especially the guitar pieces.
Benny Dayal who has quite a lot of numbers to his name adds another versatile song to the list. His vocals are backed up by Imman's hums that seem as small interludes in a brief song. Though it runs for nearly 2 and half minutes, it does leave an even impression on you way to the lines by Yugabharathi and Benny.
Onnum Puriyala - D Imman
This one is a bit of slower when put next to the opposite tracks and is derived out a tragic song (probably our hero sulking over his lady love). Not dwelling at the form of sing it is, it's worth a listen because it keeps jumping between pacey and sulky within the song. The "kuthu-like" beats provide the song its high points, rather then which it is vitally too very similar to love failure songs for our liking.
Perhaps a many people haven't heard Imman singing. That's why when he comes up with the sort of melodious and sad song, you might be left wondering if he's an even singer. While his singing does have you ever clinging and hoping for something great, the lyrics don't help him and we will be able to must look ahead to another chance. It falls wanting soul stirring.
Nee Eppo Pulla Solla Pora - Alphonse Joseph
Underlining the features of this song in entirety is very difficulty, for it hosts some folky, guitar backed, off-beat or even a couple of rock like sections in it. However, Imman has found himself a pattern that may be working for him with Kumki - most emotional lines with string chords, the emphatic ones with greater than usual percussion and continuous drama with the guitar. Starts with just the vocals and develops right into a casual song.
Alphonse Joseph can hit some really high tones and his range is unmatched. But as opposed to going all out with them, Imman has taken a more conservative approach and makes him sing in his normal tone for many the song. When required, he gets back your focus with probably the most magic we saw in Aaromale. The lyrics also are highlighted by his voice. Before you add everything up, you know that you're being attentive to an excellent and unique song.
Ayyayyo Aananthamey - Haricharan (MUST-LISTEN)
Melody and fast-packed percussion don't usually go hand in hand. This one however packs the most efficient of both world and is among the best songs I'VE seen Imman get a hold of. As you as you begin listening, you're supplied with an orchestration of strings, that is carried during the song with the addition of few more instruments. They string pieces continue in between the lines, in conjunction with the piano.
Haricharan's voice resonates with every note he ushers, low or high, and his transitions almost make you are feeling as joyous because the singer. Yugabharathi's lyrics, delivered to life by Imman's music full of good orchestrations show sings of being poetic and easy on the same time, and has an excessively southern touch to it. The hole of the song and the string piece (with a scale change) add a large number of merit to the track. An instant hit!
A Lady and the Violin - Aditi Paul, Karthik (Violin)
A softer and subtler version of Ayyayyo Aananthamey, Imman does well in differentiating masculine and female feelings with this track. MOST OF THE string pieces are replaced by the chorus, which does well in providing balance, especially with the song lacking one of the vital punch that came with Haricharan's voice. The percussions hence appear much more prominent whenever they arrive up.
Aditi Paul fits into the missing a part of the puzzle and shares the lead with Karthik who plays the Violin. While one of the most lines are taken up by the violin pieces, the lines which can be actually sung seem to be the most productive ones. Somehow, Yugabharathi's lyrics appear much more traditional (after all, it is a girl singing, they're always classy aren't they?) in comparison to the unique song. Some may like it to Haricharan's version as it has more melody to it.
Sollitaaley Ava Kaadhala - K.J.Ranjith, Shreya Ghoshal
Following within the steps of Mynaa, Imman shoots out another duet melody so as to make its mark with Kumki. Sollitaaley Ava Kaadhala sounds very similar to "Ayyayyo" from Aadukalam or "Machaan Machaan" from Silambaatam. Flute instrumentals and chorus throughout accompany the song. The percussion have been heard a ton of times before with several duets. The interludes (especially the only after stanza one) impresses with some change in music and addition chorus support.
Ranjith and Shreya Ghoshal don their voices for Sollitaaley and add to the track's soulfulness. While Ranjith's low notes and melodies make significant impact, Shreya goes out and delivers another great rendition. Even supposing they share a large number of lines, she manages to get probably the most heartfelt ones. The lyrics, for a metamorphosis are old-fashioned and it'll be hard to guess if the lead cast how the hero and heroine are dancing, in the event that they do this is rather like( from the 80s).
Soi Soi - Magizhini Manimaaran
Folk, kuthu, tribal, whatever you can also call it, songs like Soi Soi are always gonna involve a large number of drumming (and what else?). However, Imman has experimented around with this song, especially with the horns. Maintaining the beat inside the song, some chords are very prominent and provides you mixed feelings in regards to the song - one that reminds you that you've got feet and also you rarely use it to bounce and another which makes you ponder if the song has a deeper meaning.
Magizhini Manimaaran sings Soi Soi like a village festival song. Yugabharathi's line characterizes the character of the song - few lines of lyrics that experience the similar tune and are repeated within the song. The gaps get filled by a distinct from of tribal music every occasion and when the song involves a wrap, what you could have a listing of statements (maybe advice) from a girl who's either super- wise or is attempting to get some attention.
To sum all of it up, Kumki is filled with enjoyable music. People may be paying attention to a large number of "Ayyayyo Aananthamey" when the movie comes out. It has the entire makings of having into the highest charts. Meanwhile, the remainder of the tracks aren't bad in any respect and offer so much for listeners. "Yella Oorum", "Nee Eppo Pulla" and "Sollitaaley Ava Kaadhala" are all good numbers. With the discharge o
