Rum Songs Review
Review Overview
Hola Amigo
Kadavulae Vidai
Pori Paththi Vizhum
Alladhe Siragiye
Hola Senorita
Peiyophobilia
Kadavulae Vidai (Reprise)
Rapid, high-spirited soundtrack!
Rum, though mostly electric, is a soundtrack that ticks the boxes of a generic Anirudh album. This is music from his comfort zone, and should help itself on its way to please the youth.
Cast: Hrishikesh, Sanchita Shetty, Miya George, Vivek, Naren
Music: Anirudh Ravichander
Lyrics: Vivek, Madhan Karky
Direction: Sai Bharath
Label: Sony Music India
Hola Amigo: Singer – Anirudh
A slow, drugged base which works fine with Anirudh on the vocals. It is the lyrics which are witty and at the same time meaningful, making it a passable track.
Kadavulae Vidai: Singer – Sean Roldan, Pragathi Guruprasad
Simple but efficient track which has lovely lyrics as an asset. The ‘Kannane Kanne’ combo of Sean Roldan and Anirudh reunite for this mesmerizing melody which won’t leave your playlist easily. Our PICK!
Pori Paththi Vizhum: Singer – Diwakar, Divine
Diwakar sounds a lot like Shankar Mahadevan in this fast paced number which has a lot of rap and synths embedded. It could have been a lot catchier though.
Alladhe Siragiye: Singer – Sid Sriram
A slow and melodic start turns into a Calvin Harris-like trance song, and eventually gets the job done. Sid Sriram is a perfect addition, this could turn out to be a chartbuster for every youth turning to it. Another PICK.
Hola Senorita: Singer – Anirudh
A simpler version of the first track, but this time it comes with a lovely string interlude halfway. And that, might be its takeaway.
Peiyophobilia: Singer – STR
STR pumps in a lot of energy into this track, just like he always does. After a few listens, the song is more enjoyable than what it is on the first hear.
Kadavulae Vidai (Reprise): Singer – Anirudh
Anirudh gets onto the mic for the reprise version of the best song in the album, making it an equally enjoyable reprise. Once again, his melody stands out amidst a group of racy numbers.
