Mugamoodi Music Review - Promise to start with sight
Mugamoodi will make an attempt at bringing the Tamil audience to peer superhero movies. Directed by Mysskin, it is easy to expect so much from the movie and the soundtrack to have only a few songs. Taking place the similar path, Mugamoodi has 4 songs and seven instrumentals. One surprising thing that's missing is an item using, wherein Mysskin usually includes a damsel clad in a yellow-saree.
A closer have a look at the soundtrack goes a ways in revealing a couple of aspects of the movie. Does the music have enough credibility to assist take off a superhero movie? Let's have a look.
Vaayamoodi Summa Iru Da
Singers: Aalap Raju
Lyrics: Madhan Karky
Standing out from the remainder of the album, this one has numerous stuff going right about it. K cleverly uses the Guitar and Violin to provide the track an excessively smooth and dreamy feel. When you pay attention, it is possible for you to to note that at one point you're hearing the lead at the side of some guitar chords, and right after it switches over to a chorus backed up by some really melodious violin pieces. Although one of the most same chords are found inside the song, you need to appreciate K mixing things up.
Aalap Raju has get a hold of numerous melodies for Harris Jayaraj and is asking set to become the following Harish Raghavendra. His voice holds all the song together and his low notes are as gorgeous as always. Madhan Karky, who has penned for just two songs in Mugamoodi, has given it the modern-day love lines. While it's not radically new, you'll be able to compare it to the duets from the 80s and realize how a lot more focus is at the feelings of the singer (as opposed to praising the beauty, the character and what not of the obviously pretty heroine)
Vaayamoodi Summa Iru Da - Guitar Version
Singers: Aalap Raju
Lyrics: Madhan Karky
Once you've got heard the unique song, you most likely got content with it and decided that it was the song of the album. But before you write off the track with the similar name, it's a must to remember the fact that it isn't a remix. In fact, it's almost the similar song except some subtle changes. Take out all the violin bits from the unique track; add more guitar pieces and what you get is a rather better version.
Mayaavi
Singers: Chinmayi
Lyrics: Madhan Karky
K reminds us of the music he composed for Yuddham Sei with Mayaavi, a composition as dark and maybe having some as enigmatic because the sequences we've seen in typical Mysskin movies from the past. His orchestration of the song, the usage of percussion and particularly the strings reminds you Ilayaraja's work from the 90s. The piano appears every so often amidst the beats and adds more depth to the track. The interlude after the primary stanza stands proud within the entire song.
Chinmayi lends her voice for this one and is derived out of her usual winning ways of singing super-hit duets. A solo, yet alone one filled with a large number of percussion and desperation may be very different indeed. Karky's lyrics mark numerous seriousness and sorrow within the song. Seems like the heroine goes to have trouble winning over her superhero.
Kudi Vazhthu - The Bar Anthem
Singers: Mysskin
Lyrics: Mysskin
I am not a large fan of songs sung by the drunk. Honestly, in recent times, a large number of directors (and a few music directors) have arise numerous such songs. First, they all shape up because a woman has tousled with the hero's life. Second, the hero is often sad or angry while singing (sometimes both). Sometimes, even one or two friends of the hero team up with him and share his sorrow (God knows for that dumb reason).
Fortunately, Mysskin's portrayal of drunkards is very unique. For starters, there is not any sadness involved like we saw with "Kannadhasan Karakudi". With Kudi Vazhthu, his voice is not any longer low but still, the alcohol's wisdom resonates everywhere. In a party of "bodhai", Mysskin has get a hold of another track that has numerous promise, simply because of the lyrics. The violin involves the rescue of K and keeps things in check.
Instrumentals and Themes (Sorted by track length - longer to shorter)
Don't Drive Your Car With This Music On - Weird name, so is the music. It begins in a undeniable pace or even throughout the entire track retains the similar beat, the urgency is lost with each passing second. Trumpets, trombones, the electronic piano, violin or even some flute interludes has been spilled all over the place it. Come Let's Fall in Love - Same as Vaayamoodi Summa Iru Da. SO MUCH have been spoken about this composition already. Here, the lead voice have been replaced with a soft piano. Funny how things never seemed as romantic when it had that funny name far and wide it.
Mayaavi Instrumental - Same desperation seen within the original track, but somewhat more appealing way to the Flute, which have been used throughout. Retains some of the same instrument work, but this one seems to be much more of a cry. Likely to be utilized in the film.
Cape Of fine Hope - We will see some retro-ish compositions blend with a couple of modern-day ideologies on this one. Orchestrations do a fair job of reminding you of the music of yesteryears and a few flanges and phase-outs usher in some modernity to the track. Very limited use of percussion and doubtless probably the most unique track within the album.
Lullaby for Loss - The one track some of the instrumentals that comes just about stirring you when listened to in a silent room (I'M playing it for the third time in a row, sitting alone in a gloomy room). Playback with the piano, some touches with the clarinet (maybe the trumpet too?) are scattered around the entire piece.
Hell, Heaven and The Ladder - A track which starts slowly with a single string background which eventually has many other musical notes superimposing on top of one another. Continues to expire with the similar tempo within the same soft manner.
Blue Panther At the Prowl - Bond-style techno chase beat that reminds you of a few of the compositions from other superhero movies. The trumpet takes the lead because the base plays within the background. May well be too short for a chase sequence.
The instrumentals will do an excellent job of mixing into the movie. I WILL see each of them matching a scenario in a film where the hero wears a cape. They certainly do an even job of maintaining Mysskin's brand. Dark, subtle and turning your focus onto the screen, they are going to play a large role in Mugamoodi.
K was handed an analogous job again after Yuddham Sei with much more of the focal point obviously at the screenplay. But with the little room that he had throughout the three standard film songs, he has shown that he also does an even job when aske
