Poovaal Thumbee by Adhil Anzar, Krish King Kumar, Nedhya Binu, Nidhi Sajesh, Grace Maria Benny

Poovaal Thumbee arrived from the Poovaal Thumbee album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2020. The production by 4 MUSICS is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The vocal on Poovaal Thumbee is among the better performances Adhil Anzar, Krish King Kumar, Nedhya Binu, Nidhi Sajesh, Grace Maria Benny has committed to record. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Poovaal Thumbee finds its musical expression here — Poovaal Thumbee is where the film's heart beats loudest.

The song dates from 2020, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.

Running to 3:44, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The track stands as evidence that Adhil Anzar, Krish King Kumar, Nedhya Binu, Nidhi Sajesh, Grace Maria Benny and 4 MUSICS, working together, are capable of something well above the ordinary.
