Harris Jayaraj

Karthik,Harini
Captivates from the second listening. The nuances in the female tunes impresses instantly. Harris' wonders in simple strings and the meaningless gibberings(though rhyming) is becoming his trademark. The way the melody is maintained throughout speaks about the maturity of the composer. The rap-like flecks in tamil is new.

The strings are ok, the tunes are ok, stereo-hummings are fine, yet there is a lack of coherance. The honeymoon charms of carnatic singers in cine music is over. A fine melody, if you are not a discerning listener.

Unni, chinmayee..Lot of expectations. Listening this is comparable to getting wet in mild monsoon drizzle. Fresh, simple tunes. Violin, saxaphone, opera sonants,perceivable bass,pitch change at the end..all are mild spices to a matchless melody. More than satisfied.

The tragedy of commons*. But Harris had made it bearable, if not avoidable.
*Every composer now facing pressure for a full-fledged rapping in tamil music.
Harris Jayaraj's work these days are much easier. Even the archaic drums sound better in his composition, than the pads in other composer's abuse. There is a inherent smoothness of flow in his serious compositions. Choice of voices cannot be more better. There's a bit of inspiration here and there.
Melody seekers, open thy ears and listen to civilization once again!!
