Madhanamoha by Suresh Cherukode

When Suresh Cherukode recorded Madhanamoha, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. The production by Joy Madahav, M.D. Manoj is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Suresh Cherukode understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of Madhanamoha, and Madhanamoha captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

2020 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Madhanamoha was among the reasons why. There is no right time to listen to Madhanamoha. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 4:51, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
