Your ears are welcomed with an alarming intro, almost as if there’s a prison-break or a breach of security. It sets the tone perfectly for this menacing tune powered by heavy riffage. Suraj Jagan’s vocal delivery is powerful, singing powerfully from the gut. The chorus interludes sound like a holy chant and add good weight to the composition. Lyrically, the song has its moments that play straight to the gallery.

What starts off with cool note-picking, a funky bass groove and English utterances, takes you on an unexpected ride where it gets darker, both lyrically and musically. Benny Dayal shows he’s totally at ease switching between English and Tamil, and Kamal’s singing style provides the perfect foil for this tune. There’s a musical shift towards the end from rock to a more Middle-Eastern style. The horns add nice drama and the drum solo in particular deserves a special mention.

A thoroughly enjoyable Hindustani classical tune with Kamal belting out the recitations and taals with the precision of a pro. The genre is right up Shankar Mahadevan’s alley and one can sense that the singer himself is enjoying every bit of the song. Despite being a ‘traditional’ tune, the song has everything going for it in terms of melody, hooks and convincing performances. One can expect the visuals of Kamal’s expressive performance as a Kathak dancer to make this song truly memorable.

A sort of a post-apocalyptic gloom reigns over the tune right from the get-go. The opening English verses communicate a desperate want for change. Kamal then chips in with his Tamil vocals, words that he has written himself.  The orchestration by the string section is dramatic just for the right amount of time before eerie intro returns to fade the song to a close.

A remix version of the title track but set to club beats. While the remix is well executed with some unexpected changes of grooves and good use of the break-down, what it lacks is the grit and intensity of the original track.
