Yuvan Shankar Raja is prone to giving some blockbuster hits every once in a while. However, his recent releases did not exactly set musical charts on fire. Questions were being raised on his form and wonder how does he reply? He comes with music of Paiyaa and needless to say, it is one of the best albums of the year. This also looks like a perfect swansong to 2009 from talented composer. Yuvan has composed songs in association with Lingusamy and songs have come out real gems. Music lovers have already taken this album to their hearts and no doubt Music Company is laughing all the way to the bank.

The movie Paiyaa stars Karthi and Tamannah. Lingusamy had also claimed about the good quality of the music and he proved to be right. The album begins with “Adada Mazhaida” sung by talented duo of Rahul Nambiar and Saindhavi. Quite a peppy song this one is and will remind you of “Dhavani Potta Deepavali” from Sandakozh. Try to focus on the rendition towards the end and you will be totally impressed with the folk template. Second song of the album is “En Kadhal Solla” rendered by Yuvan himself. One thing strikes about this song and that is orchestration. Humming part of the song will directly touch your soul.

“Poongatre Poongatre” is the third song of the album, sung by Benny Dayal. Lyricvs are good and song has a catchy tune. Younger lots will definitely like the song. The next number is “Suthudhe Suthudhe” sung amazingly well by Karthik and Sunitha Sarathy. We can safely consider this one as best song of the album. The last song of the album is “Thuli Thuli” which has been rendered by Haricharan and Tanvi. A perfect song to finish the album with. It will touch your heart.

Some music combinations are too hard to resist. Take for example, filmmaker Ameer and music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. These two have always produced scintillating songs in tandem. Something magical just gets created when the duo team up. One can vividly remember their earlier hits, ‘Mounam Pesiyadhe’ and ‘Paruthiveeran’. Yogi aims to be the next in the hit list of these two. However, role is slightly changed this time. Ameer is making his debut as an actor and the movie is directed by Subramaniam Siva. What sets this album apart from others is smart usage of instrumentation by Yuvan Shankar Raja and wonderful lyrics penned down by Snehan.

The first song of the album is ‘Yogi Yogi Thaan’ and sung by Blaze and Neha Bhasin. Quite a peppy song, this is sure to impress you. This song also sets the momentum for rest of the album. Yuvan is known for using his orchestration in an appealing fashion and here, it is no exception. This song has all the signs of becoming a chart buster.  The second song is ‘Yaarodu Yaaro’ and rendered by Yuvan himself and Ustad Sultan Khan. A lovely mellifluous song, the song boasts of wonderful rhythms. You will remember this song as a soft and stylish one.

‘Yogi Theme’ in Saarangi is the next one in the list and rendered by Ustad Sultan Khan. The amazing combination of instrument and singer does wonders for this song. It is definitely a ‘Hat Ke’ song. Next number is ‘Seermevum Koovathiley’. Sung by talented bunch of Ameer, Naveen, Snehan and Jijuba, one can also call it the pick of the album. The main features of the song are rural beats, rhythmic music and beautiful lyrics. The last one is Yogi Theme music (instruments). A perfect example of fusion music, the theme music is sure to make a place in your heart.
