Vithachathennum Female by Roshini

Vithachathennum Female arrived from the Vithachathennum Female album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2020. The production by Roshini, Joy Madhavan is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

Roshini inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Vithachathennum Female is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2020 marked the release of Vithachathennum Female, and Vithachathennum Female was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

The concision of Vithachathennum Female — just 5:03 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Malayalam in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
