Cobra is the soundtrack album, composed by A. R. Rahman, to the upcoming Indian Tamil-language action thriller film of the same name, directed by R. Ajay Gnanamuthu, starring Vikram, Srinidhi Shetty, Irfan Pathan, Roshan Mathew, Miya George, Mirnalini Ravi and K.S. Ravikumar in lead roles.
Production
The music and original score for the film are composed by A. R. Rahman,[1] marking his fourth collaboration with Vikram after composing for Pudhiya Mannargal (1994), Raavanan (2010) and I (2015),[2] whereas Sony Music acquired the film's audio rights.[3] The songs for the film featured lyrics written by Thamarai, Pa. Vijay, Vivek and Vignesh Shivan.
For "Thumbi Thullal", Gnanamuthu mentioned he wanted the track to have celebratory tunes with lyrics that have "a deeper meaning and are emotional". "Thumbi Thullal" was the first song composed by Rahman for this flick.[citation needed] Shreya Ghoshal provided female vocals and Nakul Abhyankar provided male vocals on track. He worked on Cobra's soundtrack and sang chorus portions of the songs until the male charanam.[4] As per him, the vocal harmony was recorded to sound like "gumbala paadara maadhihri irukkanum".[4] Initially, the track was recorded with gibberish and hummings.[4] The lyrics were penned later. For the Malayalam lyrics, playback singer Jithin Raj brainstormed with the team (Rahman, Vivek and Gnanamuthu) who briefed him to centralise lyrics on a festival theme. Later, he was called to record vocals in Malayalam.[5]
The track spans around 4 minutes and half more; is spaced with orchestral strings, the score transcriptions were written by Shubham Bhat.[6] The improvised nadaswaram notes written were based on composition by Sheik Chinna Moulana.[6] Further, prominent instruments on the track are flute, sitar, thavil and continuum.[6] A review from Humming Heart concluded "The song has a very busy arrangement of classical instruments throughout, complex structuring and a tune that is not often easy to follow amidst several sounds fighting for attention. But when Shreya Ghoshal lands the opening ‘Thumbi Thumbi’ note following a meandering tune and onomatopoeic sounds, the song materializes and how.[7] The Indian Express stated "Thumbi Thullal is partially a Malayalam song like "Nenjinile" from the 1998 Tamil film Uyire. which has a catchy Malayalam chorus followed by Tamil lyrics."[8]
Release
The first single titled "Thumbi Thullal" was released on 22 June 2020.[9][10] The second single titled "Adheera" is scheduled to release on 22 April 2022.
