June R - Lilting melodies - Short Audio Review..

June R starring Jyothika, Saritha, Biju Menon and others. Directed by first-timer, Revathi verma. Music by Sharath, first-timer again, disciple of BalaMurali Krishna..

1st song - Anbe anbe.. good lyrics, soothing music, one of the better heard melodies in recent times, sung well by Gayathri verma.. 8.5/10

2nd song - Eano eano. Sung well by new voice, Shaneeth.. Starts off differently, tries to mix different styles of music, hep but toned down orchestration, lyrics not very clear but seems to be ok. Somewhere, something is wrong.. 7/10

3rd song - Puthu puthu.. Sung by Usha uthup and Chitra.. decently racy song, fine lyrics, just the right music, some nice Harris Jayaraj types' abracadabra inbetween.. 8/10

4th song - Rim jim. Hariharan belts out a nice melody. Again a soothing one, with some nice interludes, good lyrics, feel good.. 8.5/10

5th song - Rim jim. Again.. By Sujatha this time. She is no lesser than Hariharan if not better in pronounciation of certain words.. 8.5/10

Overall , a very nice melody based album, worth a buy. Sharath, welcome to tamil cinema.. Hope albums like these are accomodated along with the traditional (?) dappanguthus in Tamil cinema.. On the whole, 8.5/10 for freshness, nice lyrics and soothing feel good factor prevailing overall.. Having said that, a couple of more songs wudn't have harmed the album.
