I don’t like Remya Nambeeshan’s vocals in this one though. This song particularly lingers in my mind with beautiful visuals and Sachin Warrier’s beautiful vocals. This whole album is so far the best work of music director Shaan Rahman. Singers: Sachin Warrier, Remya Nambeeshan This song from the debut directorial venture of Siddharth Bharathan is also a beautiful melody, sung by Shreya Ghoshal.
NEW MALAYALAM FILMS SONGS 2014 MOVIE
You would remember his song “thooveLLa thoovum ushassin” from the movie ‘Saphalam’. Jassie Gift is most remembered for his hit song ‘Lajjavathiye’ but the man has composed many beautiful melodies right from the beginning of his career. The movie is also a good watch, by the way. Okay, I understand that I’ve gone overboard but you know what I meant when you hear this song ? (the video below has dialogues from the movie that might be a distraction to enjoy the song). Gopi is known to have made peppy songs with heavy use of guitars, electronic keys and stuff but this song is like a cool breeze floating in the air with a soft aroma of Haricharan’s vocals that makes you close your eyes, inhale deeply and enjoy the bliss. It is singer Haricharan again who has teamed up with music director Gopi Sunder this time. Deepak couldn’t have got a better team than Haricharan on vocals, Embar Kannan on violin and Sanjeev Thomas on guitars for this song. However, this particular song is one of the best songs of the year. Loreena had filed a case against Deepak which I think is still on-going. He has been accused of stealing Canadian musician Loreena McKennitt’s music and using it in his movie album “Urumi”. This year, music director Deepak Dev has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Don’t know if that sounding-like-Shankar part was intentional or not. I thought it was Shankar Mahadevan when I heard the first verse but later realized that it was Najeem Arshad’s voice. The kids who acted in the video were also sweet. The music, vocals and visuals are all beautiful in this song. This song became an instant favorite when I heard it for the first time. Also checkout the other songs in this movie such as “maraNametthunna nEratthu” or “EE chillayil ninnu”. Kudos to music director Shahbaz Aman who has composed aptly supportive music score without killing the soul of the lyrics. Each and every song in this movie is sheer poetry written without verbal/grammatical jugglery. I don’t think there has been better lyrics written for any other Malayalam movie in this year than the movie ‘Spirit’ written by Rafeeq Ahamed. You would note that this is in no particular order. So here goes my list of favorites from 2012. Though different genres have been tried and tested, ‘melody’ remains as the popular genre in Malayalam film music. Indie musician/music blogger Harish Sivaramakrishnan has made his entry into Malayalam film music with the song “maRayumO” from the movie ‘Jawan of Vellimala’. Actor Mohan Lal too had a popular hit with the song “aattu maNal paayayil” on which he collaborated with music director Retheesh Vega. More actors have taken up singing in the movies this year – like Biju Menon, Lal, Remya Nambeeshan and Mamta Mohandas – and among them Remya and Mamta have proved themselves to be good singers. Most of my favorites from this year were written by him.Ī new generation of music directors and singers continue to rule the scene and top the charts, though the veterans still contribute to the hits. If 2011 was the year of singer Shreya Ghoshal, 2012 is the year of lyricist Rafeeq Ahamed. It is that time of the year again, to rewind and count the best songs that I have heard this year in Malayalam movies.
