SALIM SONGS REVIEW

The album begins in an auspicious manner with a traditional Muslim prayer performed well by Yusuf. The bass work and usage of traditional string instruments give it a spiritual and calming feel.

The album quickly changes to a contrasting trance mode reminding the listener of a popular Robert Miles track. The melody and the singers make sure that the influence can be overlooked. Hemachandra in particular is at his usual best.

Another dance floor friendly tune arrives with a remix of the all time classic 'Siva Shambo' from Ninaithaale Inikkum. The usage of electric guitar gives the track a power packed feel. The singer isn’t a match for MSV’s energy in the original but nevertheless performs well. Gaana Bala's lyrics are an asset to the tune.

The inevitable kuthu style of Vijay Anthony makes its presence here with interesting rhythm blended with rap lyrics. This track is the most fun-filled in the whole album as it packs a punch.

The album's finale is an ominous track sung well by Prabhu Pandala. The Arabic flavor makes its impact felt with great violins, string instruments and mellowed treble.
