Poi Vazhva
Singer: Vijay Narain
Lyrics: Vivek

The album switches to an introspective mode with an extremely melodious number ably supported with electric guitars. The minimized percussions add a late night effect to the composition which is high on vocalist’s brilliance.  An ideal unplugged number for a lazy hearing but at the same time evokes deep thought.

Kondattam
Singers: Radar, AK, Divya Ramani
Lyrics: Madan Karky

A mélange like composition which strikes a stunning balance between modern jazz, flamenco and Tamil folk- all in one surprise package! The song also has a predominant gypsy flavor with the usage of harmonica, acoustic guitar and foot tapping rhythm. A brilliant listening delight as the nativity is retained with the lead vocals being amazingly rustic!

Adho: Theme
Singer: Kalpana Raghavendar

The finale strikes gracefully with a wonderful instrumental which caresses the listener like a sea breeze. Despite the eerie flavor it emanates, the composition has some amazing counterpoints in its brilliant progress.
