Ammukuttiye
Singer - Pradeep Kumar
Lyrics - Yugabharathi
Ammukuttiye, the first song in GGSR by Imman is a melodious number that has the theme of pampering. The Electric Mandolin by Prakash are a stand out. There is a nice use of electric and acoustic guitars as well. Pradeep Kumar has been a sensation with his voice serving as a big positive to most of the songs he has rendered in the recent albums. Yugabharathi’s lyrics also add to the beauty of this melody which is the pick of the album.
Vennila Thangachi
Singers - Nakash Aziz & Ramya NSK
Lyrics – Yugabharathi
Vennila Thangachi has the rock style folk beats throughout. Imman’s usual rhythm is very evident right from the start. Nakash is quite apt for this expressive song which might have some attractive dance moves. In the instruments department, its the guitars that take the front seat along with a surprise Nadhaswaram. Ramya ‘s attractive voice has the depth required for this style of a song.
Thambi Cuttingu
Singers - Anthony Daasan & Vijay Yesudas
Lyrics - Yugabharathi
A proper folk based song flows in next in the vocals of the unique Anthony Daasan and Vijay Yesudas. Violin by Raghavasimhan are special and stand out in this usual folk number. The song caters to Kuthu song lovers and does not have any experimentation as such. It has been targeted for folk song lovers and serves apt for it. It has the theme of a conversation between two friends.
Kanmani
Singer - Abhay Jodhpurkar
Lyrics - Yugabharathi
Abhay Jodhpurkar’s vocals in Imman’s melody is very interesting to hear. He has a very emotive voice which carries forward the feel of this melody. Kanmani has some good use of strings and woodwinds in the instruments department. There is a good soulful feeling from this song by the composer.
Aahaa Aahaa
Singers Haricharan & Shreya Ghoshal
Lyrics - Yugabharathi
Aahaa Aahaa is a seductive song with some really good lyrics by Yugabharathi. Though it has the superior vocals of singers like Haricharan and Shreya Ghoshal, the tune is not too catchy and does not become immediately hummable. However, it has been well sung and has a nice string usage. There could have been a slight innovation with this genre by composer Imman. Nevertheless a fairly good listen.
