That Jigarthanda theme was amazingly constructed! 🙏 SaNa has an affable-Chennai-persona (esp. when he spoke about Cricket, Thullovadho Ilamai songs, etc..)

Santhosh Narayanan’s music (songs and score) is the most earthy and humane one I am aware of. I am really wishing that his and Ranjith’s collaborations should continue for a long time. The latter’s films are actually benefitted a lot thanks to Santhosh’s music.
PS. Does Ranjith really care about the Telugu dubbed versions of his film’s songs? Compare the female vocals here to get the context after watching the interview…

@Caesium:
You’re right! Even his speaking style reminded me of some of my Chennai-bred cousins. Enjoyable interview.

Very lively interview. I’m looking forward for listening to the trombone bit in the movie. I love the grandeur of trombones and trumpets. Makes me want to take up learning one of these instruments. 😊 it’s amazing that he’s so grounded and self introspective despite making some of the best music in the last few years. He makes it sound like he just got lucky with all that.

Never did I think I’d see the words “DJ Snake” on this blog. My worlds have officially collided!

I listened to enjoy enjaami and somehow cant escape the feeling that the song seemed “put together” or constructed painfully, not coming across as an organic whole..Many of his songs give me the same feeling with possible exceptions like maayanadhi, naan nee, akkam pakkam paar etc. Its surprising that he quotes shenbhagame as his inspiration. Not sure which part of shenbhagame has influenced/informed his work. The flow in such songs, the flow in that tune is missing in SN’s music. I would buy it, if an Imman had mentioned Shenbhagame as a possible inspiration. BTW, Shenbhagame was the song where Asha did not like the way the tune ended in the stanzas and had asked IR to change it and come up with a different resolution. Of course he obliged, for if it had been anybody else he may have booted them out 🙂
