Churaliya hei tumne jo

Hi folks,

After a long time, I am herewith a hindi song from the movie "Yaadon ki Bharath", a super duper hit of the year 1973. Probably, I can say, the songs from this movie was the lullaby for me at that time. The Excellent music by R.D.Burman adds the extraordinary appeal for that movie. Virtually, every song in that film is a treat for the ears.

Hope you all enjoy !

Dum maro dum !!!

One more hindi song from me, is my favourite ’ Dum Maro Dum ’ the most successful and popular Hindi song ever. It’s psychedelically shot and danced to. It’s a perfect merge of Western rock music and Indian vocals .Asha Bhosle’s imitation of the wavering bass line still has the ability to send shivers down the spine. I think it’s a song which will never be forgotten, it’s simmering electric fire. I enjoy singing this song. Hope you people too.

Ding dong kovil mani !

Vidyasagar - One of the striking characteristics of his career has been that he sticks to quality of music in his own way, the kind of music he believes in, irrespective of the people involved in a particular project and their popularity. Madhu Balakrishnan had sung a few numbers in Tamil and I have always wondered why he does not have many offers in Tamil Industry. His voice has a natural, flawless melodious tone to it that absolutely works for composers with great flair for melody like Illaiyaraja and Vidyasagar.
This song “Ding dong “ from the movie Jee is very soft and soulful number whose cadence are brilliantly accentuated by the singers. The instrumentation is also very apt. This song is the only relieving feature of a complete failure movie

I rendered this song with my friend Ganesh Ram, who has a distinct voice. I have great privilege and pleasure to introduce him to this blog world. I would like to thank him for this wonderful rendition and the time he spent for sound mixing. Hope you all enjoy this song. Let me know your feedback.

Dole dole !

Dole dole is a sensuous duet song. Suchitra's voice is very catchy while Ranjith tries hard to keep pace with her. The excellent use of violin and sitar in the interludes gives a good feel. Manisharma has come up with stylish and peppy numbers for Pokiri. He has retained some of his tunes in the original version for the Tamil remake.

I always have a special feel to sing a song which has western touch. I tried my level best with this song. Let me know your feedback.

kaatrin mozhi !!

Silence is golden and Speech is silver – The musical score of Mozhi conveys that and more– in fact, it illustrates the beauty and sheer magic and poetry that silence invokes, and the melody and music and wonder that lie embedded deep in the sounds of silence…

A refreshingly beautiful and melodious offering from Vidyasagar and Vairamuthu. Vidyasagar has given us eight remarkable musical compositions – reinforcing the belief that he is amongst one of the most talented composers that South India has produced in recent times! Vairamuthu’s lyrical prowess is again at its peak and his poetry in most of the songs is sheer magic indeed! He excels in this song as he describes the presence of sound and language in all nature, life, love and humanity and eloquently weaves his metaphors throughout the song.

The crowning glory of the album sung by Sujatha who croons her way into our heart. so as, Balaram. Soul stirring prelude and impressive rendering by Sujatha. Like a refreshing shower in hot scorching summer, this song is a musical treat and relief for melody lovers. With Raja not signing many films nowadays, Vidyasagar promptly tries to fill his place by churning out such soulful melodies.

I tried my best to perform this song.Let me know, how you feel !

Naveen, Thanks for the effort and the concern to modify my voice track with the karoke.

Pesa koodathu !

One of the best song from Ilayaraja. This song released two decades before and still popular. Very unique composition with various bends and hikes .Raja handled the saranams completely different from its pallavi. SPB has done a tremendous presentation with his own flow of voice. This song is very much suitable to P.Suseela’s voice and little bit tough for me to reach the higher notes with that scale.

I tried my best to perform this song “ Pesa koodathu” with Aravind. He has done a very good job, even he met with some illness. Hope you like this song. And Let me know your comments !

Jane do na !!

A musical piece boasting of numerous instruments coming together is created that is an extremely pleasant hear and turns out to be quite comfortable on ears. This can be possible only with the legend Ilaiyaraaja. He had taken kollywood stuff to bollywood and ends up creating an amazing album. With the songs in the movie “cheeni kum”, raja presented some mixture of 80s tamil songs “Vizhiliye mani vizhiyile “ , “ manram vantha thendralukku” with a tiny, but lovely differences in the BGM. In Jane do na, Shreya Ghoshal's shimmering and feminine vocals get into the act positively and collage well with its situational musical feel. I tried my level in this song. Let me know your opinion.

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.
