Mozhi - The Language of Music

Its Jo's last movie (atleast in the near future) and I have huge expectations of it... and the music by Vidyasagar sure adds to the hype.
Mozhi is one of the most soothing and feel good albums in a long time. The songs grow on you as u listen to them and are far from the kuthu songs that are so hugely popular these days. The lyrics by Vairamuthu are awesome. I personally am not a fan of Vairamuthu, but songs of Mozhi are poetry. All the songs revolve around the heroine's handicap but gives it so much dignity.
The opening track of the album Sevvannam Sellaikatti by Jassie Gift exploits his unique voice to the max. Its a lovable song and its love at first sound :).
Katrin Mozhi by Sujatha is the only song with a female voice. The same song is sung by Balram in the male version. Thoughtful lyrics, excellent use of the tabla,guitar and the keyboard and lilting voices make the song a treat to the ears.
Pesa Madanthiye by Madhu Balakrishnan showcases the pain of a lover after a fight with his beloved. The lyrics are written with so much care that you will like the song if you feel the lyrics. The only downside of the song is Madhu's tamil has some malayalam accent.
Kannal Pesum Penne by SPB is the Vidyasagar's song from the malayalam movie Sathyam Shivam Sundaram (This song is already part of a old movie of Arjun. Cant remember the name of the movie :D). I am thinking of you is changed to I am sorry :). That song was always one of my favs... So i like this too although, the original wins the race by a long distance.
The other songs are short and extremely sweet. Wish they were given more footage.
Karthik's En Jannalil therivathu is fast paced and has appreciable use of my fav musical instrument "The Guitar".
Aazha Kannal has some new renditions by Tippu and is quite nice to listen to.
Mouname unnidam rendered by Srinivas is another noteworthy piece.

All the songs are unique and its difficult to pick one single track. Mozhi is truly a musical... I cant wait for the movie to hit the theatres.
