"Vaayai Moodi Pesanum" - A refreshingly different album

Not really a fan of most of the stuff dished out in Tamil Film Music but this new album "Vaayai Moodi Pesanum" by the amazingly talented Sean Roldan is such a welcome change.

Have been hooked on ever since i lent my ears to it.
The Beediya Kelappu Jazz theme is so wacky and those sax movements are such a delight to hear and it gels so well with the funky rhythm and is instantly likeable. Kadhal Ara Onnu is a fantastic rock based composition and reminds a bit of his very own Mayakkara Poo Vaasam.Maatra Paravaiyo shows the class of the Chennai Orchestra and so does Mr Fixit theme which also comprises of some stupendous chromatic passages.
Podhum Nee Ini Varundhadhe is an absolute stunner rendered wonderfully by Haricharan , the harmony is amazing and the way the chorus is employed enhances the song to an all together different level.The out of the box interlude and the usage of fillers add a fine freeflowing touch to the composition.
Shut Up Vaaya Moodu Pesadhe is such a fun song having some crazy lyrics giving a real kick and also leaving a smile on your face. The sound of silence is another theme piece showcasing the repertoire and skill of the young composer.
And to top it , Udaigiren Udaigiren is a nice breezy melody accompanied by some lovely guitar strumming.

Vaayai Moodi Pesanum (VMP) is refreshing , different and uber-cool. Its overall a fabulous package interweaving different genres and producing the desired concoction thus giving the listener a great musical experience. Raghavendra Raja (RR) also known as Sean Roldan makes a rollicking debut as a Tamil film Music Director making a statement with his brand of music. Here's hoping for a new revolution in TFM.
