Unnai Kanadha Kannum

Image
One of those incredible scores of the legend KV Mahadevan and rendered with loads of emotion by the living legend P. Susheela. I gathered courage this morning to give this haunting melody a try. I am aware of the slight sruthi and tempo slips but was too lazy to correct them. As always, I have give mixing a try with my Kathukutty skills :) I deliberately left the breathing sound through the song. Please bear and sorry if its too annoying. Looking forward to your stones/garlands he he :). Song: Unnai Kaanadha Film: Idhaya Kamalam Singer: P.

Aasai adhigam vechu

Huh, finally finished this. Had to do lot of pranayamam for this song. This is one song that needs amazing breath control. At the face of it, song seems easy but as I started rendering I fumbled multiple times and gave up at one point. Somehow finally managed to complete it, not sure if I will live up to your expectations this time. I very well know what pointers would come back too :) but looking forward to know what you think. PS: Charanms are single take recording. Please bear all the flaws and notes that you don’t like :) Song: Asai adhigam vechu Film: Marupadiyum Singer: Janaki ratshasi amma MD: Vera yaaru maestro than Lyrics: Vaali Ragam: Sindhu Bhairavi (still under debate against Dhenuka by music jambavans) Aasa adhigam vechu - Marupadiyum Kelunga Musicians Available

Rasave Unnai Vida Matten

Yet another gem from Raja's stable. SJ the 'Expression Queen' captures the emotions of a girl who sings with 'ekkam' for her beloved (none other than our Raj Kiran). Idha vida azhaga adhukku oru tune eppidi poda mudium. I have always liked Raj Kirans' movies (ellam oru mari paakadeenga) 1. He mostly used IR for his films 2. For the nativity. This film especially has commendable re-recording by IR. However, ennoda indha version kekkara madiri irukaannu sollunga.

Konrathu Konraikkum

I cannot express how much I like this song. The very first time I heard it there were various ‘Unarchigal’ inside me. What a genius composition! KSC – Adhu voice illa bottle of thena. She is a ‘Sweet rakshasi’. I have tried my best to render this. Let me know what you think. Song: Kunrathu Konraikkum Movie: Pazhassi Raja (2009) Lyrics: ONV Kurup Music: Maestro Ilayaraja Note: Tamil lyrics is a little complicated than Malayalam I think. Some of the words I have not even heard in ‘Sol Vazhaku’. So please pardon any mistakes in the lyrics. Also learnt and sang this song in 1 day, so am sure there are off notes and mistakes.

This recording is almost a year old and I just found time to upload it. Thanks to Sminu Joseph who introduced me to this wonderful composition by the maestro. The song is from the movie Vinodhyatra and sung by my favorite Madhu Balakrishnan and Swetha Mohan. "Meimarandhutten" appidinnu solvaanga but I truly relaized what it means after listing to this composition. Raja Rajathan! Listen to my rendition and pen your comments.

Endha Poovilum Vasam Undu - Murattukalai

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...

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
