Piranth by Afsal

Piranth is one of those rare Malayalam tracks that manages to feel both fresh and familiar the moment it begins. The arrangement here is the work of Afsal, Rex Vijayan, and it shows genuine craft in how it builds and releases.

Afsal inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. For fans of a talented ensemble cast, Piranth is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

The 2020 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. There is a quality to Piranth that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

Running to 3:29, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
