Veepam

            It's been a while since we've heard Joshua Sridhar's signature melodies, and in the lost time, he seems to have upped his skill several levels! The Veppam music album is a delightful mix of lilting melodies, and some quick beats.There is some expectation on the film because the film is produced by Mr.Gautham Menon.
                                  'Oru Devathai...' When the guitar strumming begins, you already know this track's going to stay on 'repeat' for a while. With Na. Muthukumar's lyrics, this song is easily one of the best in the album. Soulful music combined with beautiful lyrics come to life in the voices of Clinton and Swetha.
                      'Mazhai Varum...' comes in two versions – a solo by Suzanne and a solo by Naresh Iyer. This is one of those compositions that move the listener to another plane. It's the pining for a loved one by a lonely lover, and that feeling comes across wonderfully in Joshua's music. Suzanne's version is a tad happier than Naresh's, but in essence both renditions are brilliant and moving.
                      The pace picks up with 'Minnale Pudikire...' Benny Dayal's style of singing is very interesting. His accent and modulation adds character to this composition. The beats are familiar but put to use well, so we'll let that pass! Na. Muthukumar's philosophies in verse are interesting.

                     The Veppam album is a glorious way for the Photon Kathaas music label and from 'the jamming session' video that was aired at the music launch it is quite evident that Gautham Menon loves the music.
