There are certain songs which we keep remembering long after listening to them, they literally keep playing in our head in the background. A few examples of songs in this category are:
- Varugiraai (Anbe Aaruyire): This is by ARR and like a few ARR songs it will not impress you in the first listen, it might sound ordinary. But its a cracker of a song with excellent singing by Hariharan and Chitra. Apart from the tune, the crescendo effect at the end is is a nice touch to end the song.
- Our Thuli Vishamaai (Aadhi Bhagavan): This is an engaging song from the word Go. It has a Hindustani feel with nice some nice swara patterns in the second interlude. Yuvan composes this and the singing is by Sharib Toshi and Shreya. One of the highlights of the song is the orchestration featuring a couple of stringed instruments (Amalraj) which sound very apt for the song.
- Praaptham(Chekka Chivantha Vaanam): Once again ARR creates a tune with a very unique feel and structure and it is an instantly likeable one too. Karthik sings it with a husky feel which totally suits a song of this nature (my guess is its ARR’s idea). The second charanam is different from the first with a little more gusto and it beautifully switches back to the pensive mood once again.
- Jaaniya Ve (Dus): This song by Vishal & Shekhar is a very soulful one and the tune gets unpredictable in the charanam (in a good way) adding to the overall variety. Hariharan and Mahalakshmi completely ace it.
