| Song: Aromale Album: Vinnathaandi Varuvaya Type: Koliwood Singers: Alphonse Music Director: A.R. Rahman Lyricist: Thamarai Rating: 3.9 Raw vocals and prominent acoustic guitar define this song. Unpredictable in a nice way. |
| Song: Kilimanjaro Album: Enthiran Type: Koliwood Singers: Javed Ali, Chinmayi Music Director: A.R. Rahman Lyricist: Pa. Vijay Rating: 3.6 Good in parts but does not work as a whole. The (presumably) African chants interrupt and distract and the song never finds its groove. |
| Song: Kalli Poonkuyile Album: Thenmavin Kombathu Type: Mollywood Singers: M.G. Sreekumar Music Director: Beny Ignatious Lyricist: Girish Puthencheri Rating: 3.8 Nice, mellow number. The out of place, overdone string section is probably due to the movie situation. |
| Song: 4th Time Around Album: Blonde on Blonde Type: Rock Artist: Bob Dylan Rating: 4.6 Melodically prettier than most Dylan numbers. Lovely guitar/harmonica play. |
| Song: Baby, I Love Your Way Album: Framptom Comes Alive Type: Rock Artist: Peter Frampton Rating: 4.6 One of the two best songs from Frampton's iconic live album. A very hummable and mushy love song. |
| Song: Samyamakannoru Album: Devi Type: Mollywood Singers: Yesudas Music Director: G. Devarajan Lyricist: Vayalar Rating: 3.9 A nice, light classical song. Is there is a slight tremor in Yesudas' voice in some of the brighas? Or is that how it's supposed to be? |
| Song: Kisi Pe Dil Agar Aa Jaye Album: Rafoo Chakkar Type: Bollywood Singers: Shailendra, Asha Bhonsle Music Director: Kalyanji Anandji Lyricist: Gulshan Bawra Rating: 3.1 Nice enough but unremarkable |
| Song: De De Pyar De Album: Sharaabi Type: Bollywood Singers: Kishore Kumar Music Director: Bappi Lahri Lyricist: Anjaan Rating: 3.3 Nice melodic interludes but the rest of the song is a mess. |
| Song: Tere Khushboo Mein Base Khat Album: Arth Type: Bollywood Singers: Jagjit Singh Music Director: Kuldeep Singh Lyricist: Kaifi Azmi Rating: 5.0 A slower and shorter but extremely sweet reprise of "Koi Ye Kaise Bataye" from the same album. Who knew ghazal and guitar could sound so good together? Arth-Saath Saath - one of my most favorite albums of all time. |
| Song: Dil Kya Kare Album: Dil Kya Kare Type: Bollywood Singers: Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik Music Director: Jatin-Lalit Lyricist: Anand Bakshi Rating: 3.7 Melodious but monotonous. The antara is really good. |
Don’t know about the rest but I agree with the top rating for Tere Khushboo Mein Base Khat.
