SPB is one of the best singers who can modulate his voice and he has sung so many different types of songs for the past 5 decades. Unnai Paarthapinbu is one of the songs where SPB shows his energy and I am not sure if any other singer could have done justice to this song. The song has a soft-rock orchestration, which is quite rarely used in Tamil music and Bharadwaj’s tune and orchestration are like hand-in-glove, absolutely perfect! He uses distortion guitar and drums very nicely and SPB’s voice towers over the instruments majestically, especially towards the end of the stanza when he sings, “Yen Yen Yen”. This is one of my favourite songs of SPB and I am sure he must have enjoyed this challenge. Song link below:
