Enne Mathram by Saleem Kodathoor

When Saleem Kodathoor recorded Enne Mathram, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. Riyas S sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Saleem Kodathoor's vocal here has a quality that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss — it simply feels true. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Enne Mathram, making it as much a performance as a song.

The 2020 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. Listeners have described the experience of Enne Mathram differently — romantic, melancholic, uplifting — which suggests the song is large enough to hold many truths.

At 4:53, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. For anyone yet to hear Enne Mathram, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
