Paravakalini by Neha Nair, Sooraj Santhosh, Fejo, Sam Mathew, Yakzan Gary Pereira

Paravakalini arrived from the Paravakalini album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2019. The production by Yakzan Gary Pereira, Neha Nair, Sooraj Santhosh, Fejo, Sam Mathew is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Neha Nair, Sooraj Santhosh, Fejo, Sam Mathew, Yakzan Gary Pereira delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Paravakalini is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2019 marked the release of Paravakalini, and Paravakalini was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. 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.

The concision of Paravakalini — just 3:52 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. The staying power of Paravakalini is not a mystery. It is just what happens when every element of a song is exactly right.
