[inetk]

Anyone heard the songs? Indiaglitz has reported that the music has released!

[Sanjeevi]

Mercury pookal is released out in Chennai, today. I saw posters.

Hope it will be a come back for KR

[popeye11]

Hopefully this will bring KR up~

Looking forward to listening the Album!

[Dreamchaser]

Oops is this ture? Any idea when the audio will be out~

[inetk]

Thats strange...I wonder what they were trying to 'release' in the 'music' release function! In any case, this seems to have drowned in the Godfather onslaught. For the sake of KR - yes, I'm a closet fan of KR! - hope this one's decent and releases soon!

Songs are okay with the first listening! Repeated listenings will leave a strong impact. Solla Varthaigal, Malarvaai and Jaladheepam are too good. The other two songs are okay!
Good Album from karthik Raja on the whole! :thumbsup:

Mugurtha Neram - Good on first listening.
Pachakiliye - dappanguthu song. nothing great. infact its bad.
Jaladheepam - Good one, but should save it for hindi album. Karthink sound like IR at times :)
Malarvaai - I love Sukhwinder voice, so I may be biased, good song :) Reminds me of some ARR song.
Solla Vaarthaigal - Pick of the album. Very good. Dont know why Udit is singing (killing) this song. He should be used only for fast peppy song and for soft melody. KR has a lesson to learn. Ganga (new singer) voice melt you. Needless to say

on a whole average album. nothing to cherish or dump.

[interz]

A decent work done by karthickraja, , my pick is "malarvai" though it reminds of "kaatru enbatha" from perlaghan.

[MumbaiRamki]

The thing with the album is that KR comes after 8 months and gives an average album when expectations from his fans ( though few)are very high .

I did like the Gunaal song(muhurta Neram) and the hariharan melody (solla) very much-something new ,the rthym especially .They are quite different.
But the varuvai song rythm - u too karthick raaaja???

Dappanguthu song is passable and the jeladeepam is different ,needs mor elistening.

Karthik raaja - I like him for being different from the crowd -Asong like Krishna Krishna where he cld have used typical rythms all over ,he choose to do a bit different .

But this album did disappointment me a bit - Let s wauit for manodhodu mazhaikaalam

Definitely far better than any album relased thus far in 2006. I tried hearing it in my new acoustic noise cancellation headphones and man it was amazing to hear some of the sounds he has tried. Sure to be a moderate hit ....

[Sanjeevi]

Yes KR always gives something special

i agree ..KR show some promise

[Sanjeevi]

I like the songs.

Solla varthaigal rocks :D

[krish244]

Although I would not say its great, it sure is a decent effort from KR. As MumbaiRamki says, I always like KR for being different from the crowd. In most of his songs, I liked his orchestration & usage of instruments. Like his father, I like the way he maintains the flow in many of his songs (especially melodies).

In this album I liked "Mugurtha Neram", "Solla Vaarthaigal" & "Malarvai". I liked the way trumpet kind of synth stuff (??) was played in "Mugurtha Neram" song? It sounds good. The sound somehow reminded me of the way IR used shehnai (??) kind of instrument in Devar Magan (in "Porti Paadadi penne").

thanks,

Krishnan

[rajasaranam]

'Solla Vaarthaigal Illai' sounds good but the song in parts seems to be inspired from 'Chadiranai thottadhu yaar' from ARR's 'Ratchagan' :roll:

I agree 100%. Now I am repeating 3 songs from this CD, 1 from pattiyal (IR song), 1 from PP (KH song).

[vijayr]

KR's singing is horrendous. Why are KR/YSR singing? Someone should come up with a family ban on them, as far as singing is concerned. Another average effort. KR doesnt deserve many chances.

[ezy0265]

vijayr,

I don't see why we have to ban IR family from Singing, when we have ARR, Baradwaj and Deva are all singing. If you don't like their voices just get the hell out and stay away from their music. Why so curiously and jealously come , listen and then try to run such comments here...its no use my friend. We love those songs..period. You go and listen to your preferred singers,,, simple isn't it?

[vasanth2006]

i love the voices of IR,ARR and YSR.
They know the expressions and feelings well than the Normal singers.
IR is better singer of those (Chithra told in one interview that always she unable to repeat the IR expressions and raga). ARR and YSR has same type of voice.in many occasions, both of them sounds similar.

I read somewhere that MP director Stanely literally begged KR to get the tunes. KR suddenly disappears to States or Five Star Hotels and never seemed to be in touch with reality.

I think 71/2 is going on for KR. This is not really a good news for his career. This is one of the reason why IR kept him away from his home. Only YSR and Pavatharani has IR's sincerity and KR seems to be a off the track. Hope his 71/2 goes away soon.

[Scale]

Sounds really good at the first listening. Shall check again. :)

Which year was Karthik Raja born? I believe his birthday is June 29th, but which year?
