Psycho by ThirumaLi

ThirumaLi has delivered memorable performances before, but Psycho sits comfortably among the very best. ThirumaLi, Vishnu M S sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

ThirumaLi brings a warmth to Psycho that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. a talented ensemble cast are at the heart of Psycho, and Psycho captures their dynamic at its most compelling.

2020 marked the release of Psycho, and Psycho 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 3:04 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. Songs like Psycho are the reason people fall in love with Malayalam music and never quite fall out of it.
