Venmathiye by Libin Scaria, Keerthana SK

Released as part of Venmathiye, Venmathiye announced itself as a standout the moment it reached listeners. What makes Venmathiye musically distinctive is the composition by Pradeep Tom, which balances simplicity with depth.

The performance by Libin Scaria, Keerthana SK is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The connection between Saiju Kurup, Miya, Nayana Elza, Sijoy Varghese and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

2020 marked the release of Venmathiye, and Venmathiye was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is a quality to Venmathiye that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

In 5:00 minutes, Venmathiye builds, opens up, and resolves in a way that feels complete rather than truncated. Venmathiye has earned its place in the catalogue of Malayalam music that genuinely matters. The listeners who found it early already knew.
