Songs and full credits at the end.
Singer Sayanora Philip sounds fabulous in both the songs she sings for Gopi Sunder in James and Alice. Udanjuvo has a pensive melody, set to a slow-burning, ambient arrangement. Gets monotonous after a while, especially owing to its length, but there is a brief but nice sax segment from Josy Alappuzha towards the end. The more melancholic Nenjin works better, it has a lot more going on in the background (particularly the violins) as Sayanora negotiates the song’s softer portions and the more intense moments with equal ease. The song most identifiable as a Gopi Sunder product is also the soundtrack’s best. The guitar-led arrangement (excellent work from Sumesh Parameshwar) is all too familiar, and yet you will find yourself grooving to Mazhaye Mazhaye. A lot of it is also owing to the vocal department being headed by Karthik. Abhaya Hiranmayi’s voice that joins at the end sounds too processed, but it is nicely layered with the whistle.
