Nee
Singer: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Lyrics: Na Muthukumar
The album begins on a laid back note with the vocals of the composer Yuvan himself equipped with acoustic guitar and mild string section. The song is an ideal road trip melody which takes the listener to a contemporary trip filled with the wholesomeness of modern sounds. The interludes create a pleasant musical ambiance but the techno sounds dominate the scene abruptly.
Solli Tholaiyen Ma
Singer: Dhanush
Lyrics: Vignesh ShivN
A typical Yuvan style track with Hip-Hop beats and modern soundings and Dhanush’s voice gives the much-needed star value to it. The song is quite interesting with the advent of melodious usage of interludes in the midst of trendy flute and digital loops. Interestingly, the song is based on Carnatic Raga Nata Bhairavi!
Naan Ini Kaatril
Singers: Yuvan Shankar Raja, Chinmayi
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
A relaxing melody with soothing grand piano and Chinmayi’s vocals blend effortlessly with the orchestration. Pa.Vijay’s lyrics are poetic to the core and the chord progression of the song deserves a special mention. The song creates a blissful ambiance throughout with a tinge of surprise element having trance beats in between.
Ennulae
Singers: Tanvi Shah
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
An eerie solo in the sultry vocals of Tanvi Shah paves the way for a fitting finale. The chord progression is quite unexpected with sudden turnovers in the tune. The symphonic strings blend brilliantly with harmonica throughout the composition. It is indeed an amazing finale for a breezy album.
Verdict: Yaakkai is a feel good album from Yuvan Shankar Raja with the right dose of fast paced songs and melodies.
