Development

Aavesham is Shyam's second collaboration with Madhavan after Romancham (2023) and fifth with Fahadh after Varathan (2018), Kumbalangi Nights (2019), Trance (2020) and Malik (2021). Like Romancham, the film consisted of upbeat rap numbers which would appear as montages. According to Shyam, the film's musical soundscape drew inspiration from the compositions of Anirudh Ravichander due to its upbeat nature. [1]

Shyam had collaborated with several independent musicians for providing vocals to the songs, which included the music band Malayali Monkeys, rapper-songwriters Dabzee, Hanumankind, Munz, MC Couper and Chennai-based rapper Paal Dabba. [2] In addition, to this Sreenath Bhasi, Nazriya Nazim, Vipin Raveendran and Pranavam Sasi also performed vocals for few songs. Bhasi was roped for the song "Jaada", as Shyam felt that his vocals would complement the song very well. [1]

Marketing and release

"Jaada" sung by Bhasi was the first to be released from the album, on 27 February 2024. [3] [4] The second song "Galatta" sung by Paal Dabba was later released on 13 March. [5] [6] The song "Illuminati" was performed by Dabzee at the film's promotional event at Union Christian College, Aluva on 26 March. [7] [8] Two days later, the song was released as a single in music streaming platforms, [9] [10] while the lyrical video was released in YouTube a week later. [11] [12] The fourth single "Mathapithakkale" was released after the film's premiere, on 14 April, coinciding with Vishu. [13]

[17] [18] Janani K. of India Today wrote that Shyam's music "adds beauty to the wild ride".

[20] S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote Shyam's "pulsating score somewhat papers over the film's many weaknesses". [21] Rohit Panicker of Times Now wrote "The soundtrack and songs by Sushin Shyam add to the quirkiness and boisterousness of the film". [22] Vignesh Madhu of The New Indian Express also reviewed "Sushin Shyam's music is loud, fun, and packed with energy—perfectly in sync with the film's zippy mood" but was critical of the placement of the song "Illuminati" in the closing credits.
