What an album.. Amazing orchestration .. As RS pointed out all i can do i just have a big smile on my face. :D

"Raaja Still Reigns"

He never lost that first of all.

Don't laugh at me...

but "kooda varuviyaa..." has traces of "Solai pushpangale..en sogam sollungale..."...particularly the humming of Gagai Amaran and the dilrooba interlude comes to my mind..

The begining Tabla + flute rythm is so naughty that it sounds as though it will lead to a seductive number like "Dhak dhak karne lagaa..", but what a pleasant surprise... :)

I feel melody is Raaja sir's forte. Instruments add only to the melodious tune. I think in that sense, I totally agree with "Sureshs65".

But are we increasingly getting predominated by sounds these days and so start focusing on sounds? I think Raaja sir fans shouldn't and wouldn't do that. I believe the very fact we are his fans reflects our belief in tunes and the intelligence behind those gestations.

Naanum konjam patha vechukren :twisted:
watever, My mind cant stop going to 'Kurukku siruthavale' whenever I listen to this song. and Yes the song is predominantly 'Rahmanisque'. The reason I had a smile when I listened to this song for the first time was, I had always wanted Raaja to break the Myth that He cant do a 'Rahmanisque' Melody. But when we listen to the song keenly in parts its a Raaja song, Only the packaging had made the difference. His grasping power in understanding music is beyond our perception and he could have done this even before is what I think. May be the Director was the asst. of Shankar should've prompted him to do this now is what I feel. :)

Is this the first time Udit Narayanan is singing for thalaivar? Any insight on this?

Why is there a break of voice just at the end of the first charanam of "kooda varuviya" ?
a recording mistake ??

Hulkster, I remember he sang in Namma Preetiya Ramu (remake of Kaasi).

- Naa kano lokavannu (Naan kaanum ulagangal)
- Duddilde hodaru (Rokkam irukkira)

He has sung for IR in the kannada version of "Kasi". I think its kannada version of "Naan kaanum" song.

Krishnan

Udit Narayan also sang in the Telugu version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Oh, good choice. His voice sounds much more better in kannadam. BTW Nannanne Noduvanu is a amazing melody that can make anyone melt. Except for the fact it is mostly synth the songs are all on repeat mode. Except for two songs and one remake(Balegara Balegara) requested by the director, the rest are original tunes.
