En Daivathin by Vitrag, Midhila Michael

The En Daivathin album has several strong tracks, but En Daivathin is the one most listeners come back to first. The production by Joby Muttathil is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Vitrag, Midhila Michael's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

2020 marked the release of En Daivathin, and En Daivathin was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. The emotional register of En Daivathin is wide enough to fit celebration and solitude equally well.

At 5:12, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
