Song: Rayilin Paadhaiyil
Composer: Joshua Sridhar
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
Singer: Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal
Movie: Appavi
Aarabhi is a raga which gives the feeling of happiness, auspiciousness and there are only a handful of film songs set in Aarabhi and this is one of them. The raga gives a lot of scope for varied orchestration, you can make it sound classical or arrange it in a more modern way. Joshua gives a modern orchestration without taking away the soul of the raga resulting in a song which sounds very elegant. The flute pieces are outstanding and so are the bass guitar pieces. The composer uses the keyboard strings for background and it gives a good effect. The song is handled by two veterans, Hariharan and Shreya and they just hit it out of the park, especially towards the end of the charanam where the tune reaches the crescendo. This song did not become popular as the movie just vanished. It deserves much much more………
