IR's New albums - Ver 2008/2009

Kiru,

As you said earlier, oLi Tharum is a big deal! The first interlude - man!

The playlist on my IPOD: Vaalmiki, Azhagar Malai, Bhagyadevatha, Bhagyadha Balegaru, nannavanu.

Have been listening to these songs for so many days now and I am not even close to being done with them:-) Haven't fallen for any of IR's albums in the last few years like this.

*

Bhagyada BaLegara - Any takers for the track - Bhagyadha Balegara? The charanam is so good. I have excused IR for using Tippu!

Wf.

Wf,

Exactly my current playlist as well!! Loving all of them.

The most innovative album of the year so far and the reviewer says 'beaten track' - sure it is the beaten track for the review. probably namma PR panna reviewaa?

Suresh/Wf add me to this list as well :-) Even though these albums are typical IR stuff (AM, BB especially) , it is still fresh. This goes to prove you dont need to shop around the world to create a fresh new song !!!. Music is all about the power of the right permutation/combination, I guess.
BTW, isn't there similar lyrics/almost similar tune in tamil - valaiyakara valaiyakara ?? ..not from IR I think.

"nannane noduvanu.." leads me somehow to the interlude of "Sandhana maarbile..." from Nadodi Paattukkaaran..

Times Of India Review of Valmiki

The TOI review seems to be quite balanced and 99.99% reflecting my thoughts :-)

Any word on the audio release of Pazhassi Raja?

Shantanu Moitra interviews Shreya Ghosal in this Radio program. Watch the video:

She sings a little of "Jaane Dona" and "Unna Vida" songs. Shantanu says IR is one of his favourite and that he is an ardent follower of his music. He really admires the amazing notes of "jaane dona" song. I really wish Shreya had sung "dheemi dheemi" song from Shiva 2006 that really went unnoticed. Shreya has a good memory of tamil words and pronounces decently even without preparation.

thanks,

Krishnan
