Chanakya chanakya

One of the nicest tune from deva. (May be (?) , a copy of any western song? :P ) Really, terrific to note that the lyricist (???) used the name of a rajathandri "Chanakya" to imply the cleverness of the hero.

Catchy tune in the unique voice of sadhana sargam. Hope you enjoy this song in my voice too.

Aalolankili thoppile ..!

Ilayaraja’s contribution to Indian cinema and more so Tamil World is incomparable. Ilayaraja in my opinion is the most complete Musician that Tamil Cinema ever saw with his range of genres as wide as the Pacific.I am a great fan of Illayaraja not because i brought up with his songs, his music always makes the listener fresh. This song “Alolankili thoppile…” is one of the wonderful melody with great lyrics(?).Especially the flute piece by Arunmozhi take the song to the high spirit.

This is my second song with Murali venkatraman. Thank you murali, for the karoke track as well as for the good mixing.

ilankaathu veesuthey ...!

Wow ! what a Composition !! I consider he is a man beyond these awards and titles. As every one know, this is also one wonderful song among , some 3500 songs composed by Illayaraja. The song is penned by palani bharathi.The lines are very simple that even a common man could understand and effective.The orchestarion of the song is excellent in the BGM .The sound of the flute in the beginning and at the end of the song with the tune of the song pleases the ears. Actually the song was sung by Sriram parthasarathy and shreya goshal. But I like to sing the whole song, because I love to sing this song fully. I enjoyed singing this song. Like to know your opinions too.

Malare Mounama !

Vidyasagar who is very successful with all his telugu and Malayalam films, recognized by the tamil audience after a long time. In Kerala film circles, he is being hailed as the 'Rahman of Malayalam cinema’.He has done a a great job with this song malare mounama.

The pace of the song is excellent, with nice variations in every line by both SPB and SJanaki. The entire song has a brilliant romantic feel to it, not too loud and very soothing (except for loud beats at some places). Again, some nice use of pauses towards the end of each stanza.

I am very pleased to sing this song with Murali venkatraman, of Manappathivu blog. He has composed many tunes and passionate to sing melodious songs. Thank you murali for your contribution and for the very good mixing.Hope you will enjoy !

Innisai paadi varum ..!

Starting with the super hit Pudhu Vasantham,
S.A.Rajkumar has delivered few more hits
like Thulladha Manamum Thullum,Unnaidathil
Ennai Koduthen and Suryavamsam. However,
the rest of his songs are full of his copies and
remixes of his own tunes as well as that of
other musicians. His style is to make slow
(sometimes morose) soft but repetitive songs
and to repeat one such song many times in the
film,to try and make it a hit. But all the songs
in this movie Thullatha manamum thullum
are great tunes.

Especially this “ Innisai padi varum" song and “irubathu
kodi nilavugal” are wonderful to hear.I tried my best to perform this song well. Chitra is marvelous :-)

Hey ! padal ondru...

The Film Priya (1979) happened to be a turning point in the musical career of Ilayaraja. That was the first film to have introduced the stereophonic sound system in entire India. In Bombay there was already a form of stereo system. But was not in its true form. They used to record into mono system and convert into stereo system. More and more gems bearing unheard of novelty were introduced after that trial.

This song “hey paadal ondru” is in the raga kaapi. Whenever , I hear the song, I feel like floating. ”summa Jivvunu..” lol. Mr.Sukumar has a apt voice to suit this song. He put lot of effort to complete this song in his busy schedule. I must thank him for the effort he took to finish of the song with lot of pester from my side.

Hope you enjoy this duet.

Jaadu hai nasha hai ...!

A very talented person who is not very popular untill 2000. “Tu Mile.. Dil Khile” from the movie criminal, is the launching pad for M.M.Kareem. He has done an excellent work in this particular song that makes you believe that a new star has born.

This song Jadu Hai Nasha,the notes and the beats makes the impression that it tells the height of imagination. I am sure, if any other Music director dealt with this song, he would have made it a jazzy item number. But M.M.Kareem made this song live forever. A genius music composer, every times proves his abilities, when he is used. Still there is much more to come from him. Hope you enjoy this song.

San sanana..

Anu Malik - the most successful composer since Baazigar. But he became dull after he lost his originality. The beginning of this song “San sanana nana “ sounds a lot like Rahman’s tunes from Rangeela, especially the musical piece, the Spirit of Rangeela. Alka Yagnik does a great job in infusing life into this song, which is appealing by the music itself.

This song is about a girl's desire for a perfect groom and makes for a good listening. Anand Bakshi is the guest lyricist for this particular song. I just heard this song for very few times and got fascinated. The voice clarity of alka yagnik prepared me to sing this song. Tell me whether, I did the pronunciation accurately.

Aagaaya Gangai ...!

Its truly a joyful occasion to express my extreme happiness about Isaigyani through my blog. Raja’s music is my constant companion in life. I love to sing songs composed by Illayaraja. I have the strong belief that one can improve one's singing capability by singing the songs composed by Illayaraja. He had created an astounding environment with his music and made people to feel truly about his competence and the excellence he'd should in his music.

Particularly this song “Aagaya Gangai “,Ilaiyaraaja has given Madhyamavathi in quite pure form. He even tried to give this song with rare combination of voice of Malaysia vasudevan with Janaki.

Mr.Sukumar, who is a chemical Engineer from Egypt has joined me in this song. This is his first song with me. He is very passionate towards music and I am very happy to introduce him to this audio blog world. Hope you all enjoy !
