Sushin Shyam makes his Tamil debut with “Aathi Iva Yarraa,” and he brings his signature electronic pop-funk along for the ride.
The track is the first single from Suriya’s upcoming film *Scene*, and it arrives with a clear job: introduce Nazriya Nazim’s character while setting the tone for the whole project. Rajpriyan handles both the vocals and the lyrics, and his voice carries the song’s playful disbelief without ever overselling it.
The premise is simple and it works. A man sees a woman walk into the room and cannot quite process what is happening. The hook keeps asking who she is, over and over, while the verses describe the effect she has on him: everything trembles, things shatter, sparks fly. It is not a love song in the traditional sense. It is closer to a stunned reaction set to a beat, and that framing gives the record its energy. Sushin Shyam layers classical instrumentation under the electronic groove, so the track sounds busy without turning messy.
For context, this is a significant release for the composer. Sushin Shyam built his reputation in Malayalam cinema, and *Scene* marks his first Tamil project. He is handling both the songs and the background score, which suggests the film’s sonic identity runs through his hands entirely. The film itself, directed by Jithu Madhavan, pairs Suriya with Nazriya Nazim and Naslen, and the lyrical video offers the first proper look at Nazriya’s character alongside glimpses of Suriya in a curly-haired, punk-inspired getup.
The track also has a Telugu version titled “Ammo Idi Evarraa,” so the hook travels across languages without losing its punch.
Press play on “Aathi Iva Yarraa” and tell me whether this funk-laced introduction lands for you.
