Top Melodies - 2011 -Tamil


The Year 2012 has delivered some good Tamil melodies via Harris Jayaraj, Yuvan, Joshua Sridhar, GV Praksah, Gibhran, Nikki,et al.Kuviamillah - Top pick,of mine, of the whole lot of melodies would be "Kuviamillah"" - yes, Ennamo Edho from KO by Harrris with lyrics by emerging Madhan Karky and sung by Aalap Raju. If it is haunting "Hossana", the previous year, with simple rhythm yet catchy and lovable lyrics this year definitely the same effect have been delivered by Kuviamillah

Yaathe Yaathe - from Aadukalm , composed and sung by GV himself is both melodic and peppy, backed with native lyrics

Lolita - Karthik's rendering and Thamarai's lyrics make this song hummable from the movie Engeyum Kadhal

Rasathi Pola - Yuvan's only top melody of this year would be this song from Avan Ivan. "Kaattu chirukiye kaatu chirukiye" - lines by Na.Muthukumar and vocals by Haricharan

Mazhai varum, Kaatril Eeram - These two melodies from Veppam by Joshua Sridhar has delivered what it intends to be

Vizhigalil oru - Once again GV Prakash from the movie Dheivathirumagal and a similar catchy tune can be listened from Mayakkam Enna -"Pirai Thedum"

Sara sara saarakaathu - Newcomer Gibhran scored high with this tune, beautiful singing by Chinmayi from Vaagai Sooda Vaa

Maalai Mangum - Another newcomer Nikki's melodic tune from Rowthiram was backed by good vocals by Bombay Jayshree

Vizhigaliley Vizhigaliley - Selva Ganesh's catchy tune has simple lyrics but backed highly by Karthik & Chinmayi's vocals from Kullanari Kuttam

Anjana - Thaman's simple rhythmic tune grabbed more lovers' attention

Karthik(Lolita, Vizhigaliley) and Chinmayi(Saarakaathu, Nenjil Nenjil, Vizhigaliley) - the singers of 2011. Its sad that Shreya Ghosal,my favorite, haven't delivered any top tunes this year in Tamil but still her's "Tere Mere" from Bodyguard(Hindi) is the ultimate favorite of this year.

When coming to composer , If it was Yuvan,for his Idhuvarai, En Kadhal Solla, Iragaipole , last year despite A.R.Rahman's Endhiran, Raaavan and VTV this year definitely it is GV Prakash Kumar for his Aadukalam, Dheivathirumagal, Mayakkam Enna despite Harris' Ko,7am Arivu and Engeyum Kadhal.

His "Life is Beatiful" from Dheivathirumagal,"Love Blossoms" from Aadukalam, and "Mayakkam Enna Theme", which are plain musical, still the occupying the mobile ringtones.

Biggest disappointment was Yuvan - His Vaanam, Pathinaaru, Mankhatha,Avan Ivan are just average and his latest releases(Vettai, Rajapattai, Kazhugu) too failed to impress and is less than average. His Telugu release "Paanja" is much more better.Another thing would be ARR's absence in the Tamil music scenario but he nullified with his Hindi release "Rock Star"

Notable mention would be "Innum Enna Thozha" from 7am Arivu by Harris Jayaraj, for its inspirational lyrics by Pa.Vijay, about and for World Tamils

Anirudh's "Kolaveri di" was not included in this list as it has its own competition, various versions of it are competing with itself.

Let’s hope 2012 has more and more from our own Tamil composers
