Ennumente by Uvais

There is an honesty to Ennumente that separates it from most Malayalam songs released around the same time. T K Abu sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

The vocal on Ennumente is among the better performances Uvais has committed to record. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Ennumente is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

Released in 2020, it arrived at a time when Malayalam music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. Some music is background. Ennumente demands attention — not aggressively, but in the way a good conversation does.

Running to 2:36, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Ennumente has earned its place in the catalogue of Malayalam music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
