Paradesi is the latest offering from the stables of director
Bala’s B Studios. The project also sees Bala pairing up with music director
G.V. Prakash and lyricist Vairamuthu for the first time. The movie is a period
film set in pre-independence India.
Almost every song in the soundtrack this one too heavily rests
upon the shoulders of the playback singers to bring the words to life and give
it an emotional meaning. G.V. Prakash backs them up with a stirring string
segment. There is a certain seniority in Gangai Amaren’s voice that immediately
warrants for sympathy. Priya Hemesh leaves you with a gulp in your throat
with her vocal interludes,, without having any actual words to express her
emotions.
G.V. Prakash's core elements for the album are local percussion
instruments, flute and string sections. This achieves an undistracted and
uniform sound-and-feel throughout this album and it succeeds in placing the
listener in the time and place of the story. The album, though clearly not
intended for the masses, proves to be rich in its music, singing and lyrics.
