Harris Jeyaraj does it again!!!

Yes, as much as I am a fan of AR Rahman...I simply love the man's one time assistant, Harris Jeyaraj as well.

I simply have no words to describe his awesomeness. He's probably one of the few consistent music directors of Tamil Cinema, apart from AR Rahman of course.
So, here I am spreading my thoughts on HJ's latest album, Vaaranam Aayiram. Vaaranam Aayiram is Gautham Menon's latest venture starring Surya. This is their second film together after the hugely successful Kaakha Kaakha (luv this movie :D).

Anyway, here's the list of the songs HJ has composed for the movie.
  • Adiyae Kolluthae
  • Anal Malae
  • Mundhinam
  • Oh! Shanti Shanti
  • Yethi Yethi
  • Ava Enna
  • Nenjukkul Peithidum
All the songs are totally superb. After the wonderful 'Dhaam Dhoom' songs, HJ has done it again. This time, even better!!! The only notable difference would be, the absence of Bombay Jeyashree. Wonder why she has not sung any song for this one.

Anyway, my pick of the lot would be:
  • Mundhinam : Sung by Naresh Iyer and newbie Prashantini, this sung is just simply sweet. The lyrics are also extremely beautiful.
  • Nenjukkul Peithidum : This one is by Hariharan. It's really sad that I am just realizing what a wonderful singer he is and what an amazing voice he has. I seriously love his songs, and hearing this song has only made it awesomely better.
  • Anal Malae : I must admit that I have something for slow-mo songs by HJ, especially the ones sung by Bombay Jeyashree. Anyway, this song is by Sudha Ragunathan who in my opinion, sounds almost like Bombay Jeyashree. This song, is of course another beauty.
For all those music people, and of course those who love Tamil Songs, please go and get these songs. They are a MUST!!
