Song : Iruttu Kaatula
Film/Album : Viduthalai Part2
Singers : Suganthi
Lyricist : Illaiyaraja
Music : Illaiyaraja
Impact of the song
The combined effects of the voice of Super Singer-fame, Suganthi with a soulful melody where vocals dominate the composition is a magical song that draws the listener like a magnet.
Vocal rendition
The sheer power of Suganthi’s voice and the ease with which she traverses the notes is an absolute delight. Her voice is simultaneously earthy, melodious, sweet and very powerful. The rhythms and music succumb to the sheer power of her voice.
Lyrics
Illaiyaraja has been an under-appreciated lyricist, and this song is a further reminder of his poetic genius. The words are graphic and moving and they drive emotions that cover indignation, pain, sorrow and, paradoxically, the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
Final Analysis
Like the other songs in this album, this song is a beautiful synthesis of different categories of excellence.
