Pinjula Pinjula
Singer: STR
Lyrics: Viveka
Pinjula Pinjula is easily the pick of the album, Simba. STR’s pain filled voice is beautiful in this slow, melancholy number. The theme is about a guy who has lost his love. It has amazing violin portions by Kalyan, Murali and Hemanth. The lyrics by Viveka are simple yet soulful. These lyrics connect to the audiences and this single is a stand out from Vishal Chandrashekar. The use of strings and flute are also good making Pinjula Pinjula an instrumental feat with STR backing it up with his vocals that add to the emotional quotient.
Pesugiraai
Singer: Sindhuri Vishal
Lyrics: Jude Chris
Sung by Sindhuri under Vishal’s music, Pesugiraai is a pleasant melody, but with a unique and addictive beat. Lyrics by Jude Chris are simple yet, add the pep required. The Pesugiraai line which comes in repeatedly is a pleasure to the ears. It has a high quality mixing and mastering. The backing vocals haunt in portions.
Bow Wow Vadai
Singer: Actor Siddharth
Lyrics: Subu
Bow Wow, a number crooned by actor Siddharth is a fast paced funky song with Siddharth’s voice adding an innocent feel to it. The guitar portions are good and the song is a proper dance number. There isn’t a complicated lyrical by Subu as the song doesn’t demand much. The rhythm and tempo are quite fast paced, but the song does not have a bang at the finish.
Marandhadhae
Singer: Anirudh Ravichander
Lyrics: Vishal Chandrashekhar
Another star singer for Vishal’s album! Anirudh’s voice sounds soothing in the Marandhadhae number. It has the theme of friendship with a different sort of a treatment. Guitars by Kraven and drums by Goutham are impressive. A soulful song which has a nice rock touch to it. A song which is sure to grow on the listener’s ears.
Sarpetta
Singer: Anthony Daasan, Arunraja Kamaraj, Vishal Chandrashekhar
Lyrics: Charukesh Sekar
Sarpetta starts off with a disclaimer about the trip that awaits us. Anthony Daasan and Arunraja are the perfect choices for this sort of a song. Catchy and rhyming lyrics by Charukesh Sekar. Vishal’s Jil Jung Juck touch is prominent in Sarpetta and he shines with his experimentation. Sarpetta has a likeable tune making it a feel good song. An anytime listen by the young composer.
