Songs and musician credits at the end.
It is interesting how eggs have inspired fun songs across time, from NECC campaigns to Hindi film songs like Ande ka Funda. In Rosapoo composer Sushin Shyam creates one more song to add to that list, Mutta Paattu. While the song gains immensely from guest lyricist Vinayak Sasikumar’s (rest of the soundtrack is penned by Santhosh Varma) smartly written tongue-in-cheek verse, the groovy arrangement (that sees particularly good use of keys, especially melodica) complements the lines very well. Jassie Gift and Anthony Daasan are credited as lead vocalists, but I could discern only the former’s voice aside of the chorus. The melodica finds a dominant presence in the title song that carries a charming European sound (love the guitar work by the amazing Santhosh Chandran). It is only in the composer’s own limited vocal skills that the song faces the occasional hiccup. Sushin is backed by Neha Nair here.
Average singing turns out to be the bane of Munniloru Swargam as well, in fact the effect is even more detrimental here. Suchith Suresan is the man behind the mic for an otherwise decently crafted retro disco-styled composition. Composer adopts an Arabic soundscape for the lament-of-the-destitute that is Padinjaattodiyaal Kadalu, penned really well by Santhosh Varma. The lyrics and frenzied arrangement prop up the ordinary melody that is passionately delivered by Maqbool Mansoor. It is in another celebratory maappilapaattu that Sushin gives his best of the album. Kochiloru Kappaladuthe has a beautifully earthy tune that is sung with utmost earnestness by Munna. And the singer is backed by a fine chorus and a neatly layered folk orchestration from the composer.
Rosapoo. Sushin Shyam’s debut as a solo composer. And a pretty entertaining one at that, though I missed something as haunting as the songs he produced in his last two films.
