Harris Jayaraj tries every trick in his toolkit quite successfully in ‘Oru Nooru Murai’ early this year from Dev. Harris Jayaraj – Oru Nooru Murai (from the film Dev) The soundscape, in general, is reminiscent of (his brother) Karthik Raja’s work. The flute arrangement in the song is well done. Yuvan Shankar Raja also gets to sing this song - perhaps a rare occurrence where the choice is justified. If you see past the opening lyric, the song sets up a haunting, gloomy mood that belies a beautiful tune. Yuvan Shankar Raja – Vaa Vellai Raasathi (from the film Kanne Kalaimaane) Among the notable composing debuts this year are Siddhu Kumar ‘s Sivappu Manjal Pachai and Ramgopal Krishnaraju’s Vellai Pookkal. Govind Vasantha so far hasn’t had a big year though he delivered a couple of outstanding songs for Uriyadi 2.
It was happy to see Joshua Sridhar back in full verve with July Kaatril.
Santhosh Narayanan followed up his terrific 2018 run with lovely tunes for Gypsy. Ghibran gave a short (which seems to his norm) but a solid soundtrack for House Owner. Sean Roldan delivered a fantastic Mehendi Circus and relatively less impressive Raatchasi.
The year began with a beautifully packaged soundtrack by AR Rahman and Rajiv Menon for Sarvam Thaalamayam. Yuvan Shankar Raja had multiple good soundtracks including NGK, Kanne Kalaimaane and Sindhubaadh (not to forget his score for Super Deluxe). If we have to call out one composer who has been particularly exceptional this year, it is Justin Prabhakaran ( Monster, Dharma Prabhu and Dear Comrade). It has been a fairly impressive run for composers across the board in Tamil films this year.
