Ilaiyaraaja - Vettriku Oruwan

Review by Icrumbas Eventos

Vettriku Oruwan: Ilaiyaraaja’s Sonic Time Machine (1979) Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into Vettriku Oruwan, a gem from the maestro Ilaiyaraaja that’s equal parts nostalgia and genius. Released in 1979 under Columbia Records, this album is like a musical masala dosa—layers of pop, electronic beats, funk, folk, and even a dash of stage drama. It’s not just an album; it’s a vibe. And if you’re into soundtracks that feel like they’ve been plucked straight out of Tamil cinema's golden era, well, you’re in for a treat. Let’s talk tracks. The album kicks off with "Muththamizsaramey", and oh boy, does it slap. This one sticks to your brain like leftover rice on a steel plate after lunch. Panju Arunachalam’s lyrics are heartfelt, almost poetic, but it’s Ilaiyaraaja’s music that steals the show. The melody has this magical mix of traditional Tamil vibes with a modern twist—it’s like wearing a silk saree while cruising in a Tesla. You can’t help but hum along, even if you don’t know what half the words mean. That bassline? Chef’s kiss! Then there’s "Yaar Mamano," which feels like a warm hug on a rainy day. The orchestration here is next-level—I’m talking violins crying their hearts out and synths doing pirouettes in the background. There’s something about the way the song builds up slowly, almost shyly, before exploding into full-blown melodrama. If this track doesn’t make you want to twirl around your room or stare wistfully out of a window, you might need to check your pulse. The other songs, like “Thoranam Aadidum” and “Aadal Paadalil,” are equally delightful, though I’ll admit my memory gets a bit fuzzy after track three. But hey, isn’t forgetting part of the charm of old-school albums? Like finding an old photo album where some pictures are faded but still precious. What makes Vettriku Oruwan stand out is how timeless it feels. Sure, it’s from 1979, but listening to it today feels like chatting with an old friend—you realize how much you’ve missed them. Ilaiyaraaja wasn’t just making music back then; he was crafting emotions, layering them with care, and sprinkling them with his signature genius. So, as I sit here spinning this vinyl (okay, fine, streaming it), I can’t help but think: why don’t they make albums like this anymore? Maybe it’s the hustle of modern life or maybe we’ve all forgotten how to slow dance. Either way, Vettriku Oruwan reminds us that good music isn’t just heard—it’s felt. Now excuse me while I go find someone who’ll let me play “Muththamizsaramey” on repeat without judging me. Oh, and P.S., if anyone knows where I can get a T-shirt that says “Team Ilaiyaraaja Forever,” hit me up.
