"Kaadhal kondaen" is the second venture of the "Thulluvatho Ilamai" team, who made everyone raise their eyebrows by their trendsetter, blockbuster film produced in shoestring budget. Yuvan's youthful music was one of the main reasons for the success of the film and here too, Yuvan's involvement is apparent. Fivestar audio has released this album at a lowprice and it's already selling like hotcakes.

The album begins with "Devadaiyai Kandaen" beautifully rendered by Harish Ragavendra.The song is penned by Na.Muthukumar. This is a very catchy number which will get on you on first listening itself. After seeing his girl, the boy adores her and explains the reactions she had caused in him. Harish's voice is very charming and the slight nasalization adds to the feel of the song. This is sure to be a chart buster and is the pick of the album.

Next comes "Manasu rendum" sung by Shankar Mahadevan and lyrics by Pazhanibarathi. Nowadays Shankar Mahadevan's voice features in every album of Yuvan. Here too he has done a good job. He strains a bit to imitate Yuvan's way of singing at places. The charanam part of the song is more interesting and enjoyable.

Next comes a cool melody which is a piece of cake for Yuvan. "Nenjodu" by Sujatha and UnniKrishnan takes off with cool piano and guitar bits and the songs is sure to steal many hearts. After a long time, we get to hear the mesmerising voices of Unni krishnan and Sujatha in a song.

B side starts with "Kaadhal kaadhal" by Vijay Yesudas and easy lyrics by Pazhanibarathi. Once Ilaiyaraja and K.J.Jesudas combo ruled the tamil film music and gave some unforgettable numbers and now their kids are doing the same here. The song is a peppy one which is sung effortlessly by Vijay Yesudas. His voice is very much under his control that it easily soars to high pitch and comes down casually.

"Thottu Thottu" again by Harish Ragavendra is a variety song with haunting interludes and beautiful charanam part. Then comes the theme music of the album which resembles interludes from "Poi solla" song from April Mathathil, played in fast tempo.

"18 vayadhil" by Yuvan shankar begins with the beats which will remind you of the FTV style Bailamore song in "Kaadhal Virus". Better Yuvan should stop singing and spoiling his own songs. The song is a dance number and may become a chartbuster

The recording quality is amazingly good compared to other recent Yuvan's albums. Except for the "18 vayadhil" song, all the songs have decent and poetic lyrics. Thank God! none of the singers are from North and they don't mince over poor tamil. Every month, a Yuvan's album gets released and still he strives hard to maintain his quality. If he avoids some repetitions in his tunes and quits singing, he is sure to be the number one in TFM soon.
