Mole Nin by Shahid

Mole Nin is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. The arrangement here is the work of Shahid, Nissam Kollam, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

The vocal on Mole Nin is among the better performances Shahid has committed to record. The song is tied to a talented ensemble cast, whose presence gives Mole Nin a visual dimension that fans of the film will always associate with it.

2020 was a strong year for Malayalam music, and Mole Nin was among the reasons why. Whether it plays on a long drive, during a quiet evening at home, or through earphones on a crowded commute, the song meets the listener where they are.

Running to 5:27, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Songs like Mole Nin are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
