Endha Poovilum Vasam Undu - Murattukalai

Image
Yet another IR number. This is a beautiful folk that IR has delivered and his love for western music is clearly depicted through this classic inspiration. This song is originally by Antonio Ruiz-Pipo, one of the greatest European virtuoso pianist and composer. Its a treat to listen to this guitar notes and realize how this western classical has transformed into an Indian folk ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy_Yx0cLd5o ) Now coming back to my rendition, I sat with this song thinking its an easy go and ended up with atleast 15 takes . Trust me, its a really tricky song wrt ups and downs while maintaining that taalam in samam. I really was startled as to how SJ sang it with so ease and how the legend composed it. I am actually getting out of cold and you could easily identify it with my 'karakara' throat. As usual have mixing problems, punching problems and I am a bad tailor still stitching things together . Pls bear with me. Appreciate your honest feedback. Song Name: Endha Poo

Thumbi Vaa - Olangal

I am writing this overview with great anxiety and butterflies in my stomach anticipating how the reception would be.Friends this is my first Malayalam Cover and pls dont pounce on me for my poor diction. While trying to justice to the language I have also managed to maintain shruti,bhaavam etc. Trust me I dont understand the meaning of what I am singing. Special mention of NVK sir, who helped me correct my diction in many places (many times too) and also helped me attain perfection. Now its time for me to hear from you guys on your thoughts. Should I continue singing Malayalam or not? Pls Vote :) Looking forward to your valuable comments. Note: This song also exists in Tamil, one of the worst picturised for such a wonderful composition. I have finished the song with tamil lyrics just to bring the awareness. The song in tamil is Sangathil padatha kavidhai from the film Auto Raja. Get this widget Track details eSnips Social DNA

Poo Pookum Osai - Minsara Kanavu

Image
This time s an ARR number. I very rarely attempt to ARR's songs. I have very few in my list which I relish singing. This is not part of that list though, but when I got the karaoke for this song, I was flying back my memory lanes, where I performed this song for the AIR (All India Radio) FM - A programme called Paattu Padava. It was a recording studio atmosphere and I was jittery, somehow performed and never remembered it again. The song was broadcasted in the following week and everybody else except me tuned to it. Sad that I couldnt hear it on radio :(. But the reception was good. Just thought would share these memories with you. And pls dont forget to pen your comments on this rendition. (Also do not laugh my attempt to imitate the Male Voice in the Hilkore interlude) Song - Poo Pookum Osai Film - Minsara Kanavu Singer - Sujatha & Malaysia Vasudevan Lyrics - Vairamuthu Composed by - AR.

Nanoru Sindhu - Sindhu Bhairavi

Image
Sindhu Bhairavi - I am sure you agree that this was one of the best movies of tamil film industry wrt music and re-recording. The classical depth and innovation, yet depicting simplicity to the common man, that Raja had brought in this movie is still spoken about. Chitra ji won national award for the song 'Padariyen Padippariyen' which was what on my list to present with. But that requires more perfection and dedication and practice above all, which I am very lazy at . I am presenting another number by Chitra from this movie is Nanoru Sindhu. Though this song sounds simple,its actually pretty tricky. The quality of the karaoke is not too good, so pls bear with that. Do let me know, if I have done any justice to this number.

Kangal Irandaal - Debut Duet with NVK

Image
I am back with yet another hit number of the recent times. But this time its a privelege for me to present the song with NVK sir. He needs no introduction in the audio blogging world. The making of this song was interesting for me as this is my first duet in the audio blogging world. Thanks to you sir for this wonderful opportunity and also sculpting (I couldnt find a better word to best describe your guidance) me to understand what perfection means for a song delivery. This is definitely a milestone song for me in my life. Folks, we are eagerly awaiting and excited to hear your comments on our rendition.

Kannan Vandhu - Rettai Val Kuruvi

Balu Mahendra and IR combination have resulted in so many gems for us in Tamil Film Music. One such number is this song from Rettai Val Kuruvi. Every aspiring female singer would have attempted to render this song. I am no exception to that. Please give me ur valuable comments.

Here's another brilliant composition from the maestro, a song that depicts a girl longing to see her beloved. As usual Janakiamma has captured the emotion of the situation extremely well.Pls let me know if I have done justice to this masterpiece.

Van Megam

This song makes me nostalgic. Those college days where I used to own a TVS XL Super vehicle and happily roam around chennai with friends. And if it rains adds to all the fun. I always loved riding my bike in rain and singing some "Mazhai" song. This song was defnitely top in that list. Here's an attempt of the same. But being now in the US, there is no rain but only snow :( Hope you like my rendition.

IR's songs and compositions has influenced me in many ways through my life. This is one such song which has emotionally influenced me and made me weep everytime I hear it. Such a beautiful depiction of the bonding between a grandmother and g.daughter. Thanks to Fazil for creating an opportunity for IR to prove that he is a genius. Pls listen to my rendition. Hope you like it. Movie - Poove Poochooda Vaa Song - Poove Poochooda Vaa Originally Sung by - KS Chitra Get this widget Track details eSnips Social DNA
