I guess from now on I should stop reviewing music at its first instance. GV Prakash Kumar, does have some stuff. I take back my comment now. Here is the detailed review of the 10 Songs:
1. Oh Eesa-Composers Mix (Karthik, Andrea Jeremiah)
Lyrics: Selvaraghavan & Andrea Jeremiah
Comment: Nice Mixing. The base is however lifted from “Govinda Govinda”, the song that anyone can hear when travelling to Tirupathi. Just remixed with a change in lyrics. The lyrics are just ok.
2. Maalai Neram (Andrea Jeremiah, G. V. Prakash Kumar)
Lyrics: Selvaraghavan
Comment: The song starts with nice guitar prelude. Andrea is pretty damn good. Lyrics are very well. No idea if Selvaraghavan really wrote this or he is also a person with some ghost writers! The song is good. But this genre is getting pretty bored. The same genre as “Vaseegara” / “AnaL mele pani thuli” (a lady singing about love with a lot of base in her voice!!).
3. Un Mela Aasadhaan (Dhanush, Andrea Jeremiah, Aishwarya Dhanush)
Lyrics: Selvaraghavan
Comment: Song for the masses. The perfect song to hear while drinking. Dhanush singing this song, no comments. If he practices really he can sing like the young Ilayaraaja (well close to, when the genre is gaana). He is kind of acceptable as long as he sings non classical oriented songs. One more singer in the line of Gaana.
4. The King Arrives (Instrumental)
Performed by Neil Mukherjee & Madras Augistin Choir
Comment: Again one more song with many lifts. Majority lift is from Metallica. There are also bits and pieces of other Rock Lifts. Some lifts are from ARR (Warriors of Heaven and Earth). Queen also shows their head up at some instance. May be GV Prakash was forced into a track of Heavy Metal and he got confused. Sounds good. With Selva handling the camera, hoping a better one.
5. Thaai Thindra Mannae (The Cholan Ecstasy) (Vijay Yesudas, Nithyasree Mahadevan & Shri Krishna)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu, Vetoori Sundarrama Moorthy(Telugu)
Comment: Vijay Yesudas, got a gift from his dad, really his voice. Vijay needs some more practice though. The song starts with a Telugu classical song and then moves to tamil, taken back to telugu. Similar to “Ra Ra” of Chandramukhi. The Lyrics are amazing. Simply to say, I am no where nearly qualified to comment on Nits. She is as usual amazing!!! She moves along the song just like a sweet teenage girl with her voice, while Vijay provides the maturity in the song. Composition in this song sounds Damn Matured! Applauses to GVP here!
6. Pemmane (P. B. Srinivas, Bombay Jayashree)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Comment: Damn Cool song. The diamond in the entire necklace. Amazing. PBS proves that “Man can get old, his passions need not”. BJ has her own flair.
7. Celebration of Life (Instrumental)
Performed By Naveen
Comment: Music Magic. Damn good. ARR’s Warriors of heaven and earth might pop up sometimes, but not so clearly noticeable. Am still trying to find the song behind the composition. Yuvan also shows his head sometimes. GV, you are moving on Deva’s track. Time to change gears and start thinking, rather imagining.
8. Thaai Thindra Mannae (Classical Version) (Vijay Yesudas)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Comment: Perfect Mixture. Sounds like a mix of “Vidai Kodu engal naade” and “Kallai Mattum Kandaal”. Good Song. LYRICS ARE TOTALLY WICKED COOL!!! Its really been ages since I had listened to such a language richness in tamil song.
9. Indha Padhai (G. V. Prakash Kumar)
Lyrics: Selvaraghavan
Comment: Just another song in the new age techno tamil genre. Nothing more. Lyrics are also not upto the mark, filled with usual bar-table philosophies.
10. Oh Eesa-Club Mix (Bigg Nikk)
Comment: As the name says it is just a club mix. Nothing music in there to compose as such. Just mixing. You don't need to be a composer to mix in the club.
There are ofcourse many lifts but there are some sample of a good composer in the horizon. If given a chance, I would suggest to GV Prakash, to concentrate on his own compositions instead of lifting.
