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 !

The First Song that Comes to my Mind by A R Rahman is "Enge enathu kavithai".Its my all time favourite ,rendered by none other than Chitra. She has a enthralling voice..!!

On the music front ARR changes midstream from western drums to Mirudangam in this song.I tried my best to perform this song.No chance...no one can compete chitra's voice.I can say, her voice is something extraordinary.

Thee..! thee..! thithikkum thee..!!

It takes me back to those exhilarating moments when I hear AR Rahman for the first time, that happened way back in early 90's. I still remember those magical moments when I heard ARR's albums for the first time especially "Kadhalan" - the chorus "Indhiraiyo ival sundariyo..", Thiruda Thiruda's "Thee thee thithikkum thee.." which

never failed to transport you to the world of fantasies and

beautifully mounted visuals.

Years passed by, A.R Rahman started losing his Midas touch, until "Rang De Basanti" happened. Back in Tamil after a l...ong time, I experienced those mesmerising moments all again with “ Munbe vaa “ from Jillunnu Oru Kadhal.

This time , I tried my best to do well this song “ thee thee”. It’s a wonderful experience ,singing in husky voice. Hope you enjoy this song.

Ondra renda asaigal ..!

Behind the calm and serene face lies the spirit to venture into the unearthed mystery of music. Harris Jayaraj !

A wonderful music director who can able to render a fusion of carnatic and western peppy beat with right orchestration. . With good percussions and a touch of 'Arabian' music stuff, he has managed to create a feel-good sound, which is sure to click. He has taken delivery of a new Euphonix MC Media Application Controller for his recording.

Recent years, I admired almost all the songs of Harris. I became a great fan of him after I heard the song “ Mercury mele “ .What a song.! What a lilt. Harris Jayaraj weaves wonders when he join hands with new directors. I never heard music directors used “sax” in a awesome way other than Harris..

Harris Jayaraj topples Rahman few years back. He broke ARR’s monopoly at the Filmfare Awards by bagging it for the film “minnale” I will be going on writing about his fantastic compositions and numerous songs with great tunes. I would like to mention song “ manjal veiyil” from vettaiaadu vilayaadu and “june ponal”, “unnale unnale” from the movie unnale unnale.Here, I tried my best to perform this song with some extra western touch. Let me know, how you feel about it.

Kaatre en vaasal vanthay !

One of the very beautiful song by A.R.Rahman. He has chosen the apt singers for this song. kavitha krishnamurthi's shrilled voice made me to hear this song many more times. She has a special voice and only few songs suits her voice.

This time, I am performing this song with Naveen, who has a great passion towards music and he has a very good talent to sing Ilayaraja's song in ilayaraja's voice. I find no difference at all :)
I would like to thank him for the wonderful k track and he has done a good job in mixing and effects too.

Hope you enjoy the song !
