ARR Vs Harris Jeyraj

Its been quite a long wait for this to happen.
Two Music albums one each from ARR and Harris Jeyraj, getting released at the same time.

Now that they have sent out their latest numbers for GOD Father and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, lets take a closer look at whats in store for music lovers.

I hear somebody screaming saying that when it comes to ARR there is none who could be compared with him for the heights he had reached and the standards he had set.

Majority might agree. But Harris had come out from ARR school and had been giving good numbers. Why not do the comparison for these two movies?

Here we go!

GOD Father has five numbers in it.
One with a classical touch(Innisai), One in folk style(kamma karai) and another rendered by master himself (theeyil) and one more as a melody(kaatril) and one for the front-benchers(thothapuram).

Also its re-union of ARR and Vairamuthu and he does not disappoint with his lyrics.

Ezhuvaai Varuvaai Thiruvaai Tharuvaai ...

Marunthugal illaa thesathil kooda maivizhi pothum ...

Oru sollil oru ulagam amma..ulagellam oru solle amma...

these are few samples you might hear across throughout the album.

My picks are Theeyil by ARR , Kaatril by SPB & Sadhana & Innisai by Naresh & Mahathi.

Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu has five numbers too.
You can but recollect musicals and bits from Harri Jeyaraj's previous albums.
Prominently you will remember Kaakha Kaakha, Minnale and Gajini.

For a change there are three melodies and one folk and one rap type.

As expected there is a song for Bombay Jayshree (with Unni Menon) and lyrics penned by Thaamarai.
Paartha Mudhal Naale is the title of the number.
This should be an instant hit like 'Suttum Vizhi Sudare' of Gajini.
Might be bigger hit than that.
I stopped counting how many times i had heard the song Paartha Mudhal Naale.
iTunes counter in my laptop says 78 ... its in my mp3 player with 'repeat song' option and i keep listening to this in home theatre too.

Kaati kodukirathe Kanne Kaati kodukirathe...
Kaathal vazhigirathe Kannil Kaathal vazhigirathe...
Kann paarthu kathaikka mudiyaamal naanum thavikindra oru pennum nee thaan...
Kann kotta mudiyaamal mudiyaamal paarkkum salikaatha oru pennum nee thaan...

Thaamarai proves her worth with these lyrics.

Uyirile enathu uyirile & Vennilave are the other two melodies.

Rap sequence in the song Karka Karka (probably for Kamal's intro scene) reminds BABA bit. Harris got Inspired by his Guruji?

Overall my vote goes to GOD Father for the variety i got and the minute instruments that had been used.

Lets wait for the picturisation of these songs when these movies get released.

Till then keep listening to these songs.
