Direction: RS Durai Senthilkumar
Anirudh,who is fresh from the success of ‘Kaththi’ is back again with ‘Kaaki Sattai’. After the stupendous musical successes of albums like Ethir Neechal and Maan Karate, ’Kaaki Sattai’ marks the third combination of Anirudh-Siva Karthikeyan. Let us see how the album has turned out:
Kaaki Sattai
Singers: Vishal Dadlani
‘Kaaki Sattai’ marks the reunion of the proven combination of Vishal Dadlani & Anirudh (Remember ‘Oh Penne’, ’Po Nee Po’ & ‘Aathi’ ?) The title track is energetic and has the right balance between instrumentation and vocals with Vishal Dadlani delivering a commanding rendition. Anirudh has tried to emphasize the ‘cop’ feel throughout with sirens, whistles in the background. The ‘taana taana’ humming is the catchiest part during the runtime. An impressive start to the album!
Kaadhal Kan Kattudhe
Singers: Anirudh Ravichander, Shakthisree Gopalan
The album’s best track! ‘Kaadhal Kan Kattudhe’ is a delightful duet which leaves a lasting impression. Shakthisree Gopalan who sung Nenjukulla & Enga Pona Raasa, dominates the show in the early part of the song. Anirudh whose portions come after the first interlude gives an able company to the duet. The tune is simple and has less instrumentation and hence is more soothing. Listen to this in loop!
Kattikida
Singers: Anthony Dasan, Manasi, Anita
The weakest track in the album! ‘Kattikida’ falls under the ‘kuthu’ genre and sticks out like the odd man out in the album. The song shifts styles halfway through only to come back to the old fashioned style again. A very customary track!
Shake That
Singers: Anirudh Ravichander, Brodha V
Hip Hop meets DJ! Brodha V who makes his debut in ‘Shake That’ takes care of the rap portions in the prelude and interludes. This is a track that is made exclusively for the youngsters in the city and the tune is too zingy to miss their tastes. Anirudh does an impressive job behind the microphone as well. An experimentation that is sure to find fans among hip hop lovers.
I’m So Cool
Singers: Anirudh Ravichander
The chartbuster of the album! ‘I am So Cool’ has all the ingredients one would expect out of an Anirudh song. Funky lyrics – check. Peppy beats – check. Tanglish(Tamil + English) lines inbetween – check. This is a complete youngster’s delight and is going to propel the movie big time.
Kaaki Sattai Theme Music
Instrumental
The theme music arrives! This is the music with which the listeners must have been familiar already as it featured in the motion poster. The theme music is highly percussion oriented and is set as an instrumental of the title track with saxophones & beat boxes thrown in. A ringtone material!
The Trooper Theme
Instrumental
‘The Trooper Theme’ has more EDM than the other instrumental in the album and is layered with dubstep. Very techno-ish!
On the whole, Anirudh comes up with another zingy album which is peppy and aimed at the youngsters. The music of ’Kaaki Sattai’ is a winner!
