Krishnan,
Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the interview. I can now put a face to the voice.
Wf.
I've recently posted in the TF forum (last song thread) that Shreya has officially entered into my hall of fame and is in company with SJ / KSC / PS, with 'kaNNil pArvai' song (after being impressive with many others recently under IR's baton).
This interview further strengthens her position there :-)
She's brilliant! That too for a northie to recall 'onna vida' is such an authentic fashion! Hats off!!
karugu mani, kizhakku veLukkudhu, muththam muththam & the Bhavadharini song...sweet melodies, authentic orchestration with lot of natural instruments, phenomenal signature rhythm patterns, longer interludes typcial of IR!
AM is the most authentic IR album in recent times and sweetest to listen! Without any doubt!
Yesterday muththammA was on loop for the whole day
:wink:
After Multiple listens of various albums released this year I too join you in hailing AM as the best album of Raaja so far. Valmiki kooda sila neram bore adichiduthu when listening in loop, but Azhagar malai never gives that feeling how many ever times you listen to it, the only song that does not make me go for a repeat button is 'Ulagam Ippo' otherwise this is too sweet an album to listen to the whole day.Quote:

Very true RS. SPB or even MV could have taken Muthamma to good heights by their playfulness. Madhu B is a very wrong choice for this song. Technically he may be good but the whole song is 'mildly erotic' was you rightly put it and Madhu sings it without emotion. When the song goes,'adichadadi lucky prizu', it is almost as if someone other than the hero has got that prize!!!
I am a fan of enna senjaalum. It is close to thaanandhana kummi kotti from Athisaya piravi, yet beautifully arranged and put in a different context. Ofcourse the lyrics of the song are very good too.Quote:

Having said that, I feel that the song is really good,
104 degiriyile odambu sudum portions are well sung by MB.
His voice somehow reminds me of MG Sreekumar singing some malayalam songs for raja in 80s and one KJY song that comes to my mind is 'Maane Madhurakozhambe' from Malayalam film pinnilavu.
And what do you guys think about the male chorus in Muthamma? I thought they were good too. After a long time - an IR song where male chorus had some substantial melody to sing (excluding the TiS)
Iam irritated by the way MB sings this line...athu enna lottery ticektta! SPB would've shown the required naughtiness here :wink: and surprisingly Rita had sung the song better than MB.Quote:

He said it is for "Prem Kahani" a new Kannada film going on floors from June 18.
Prem Kahani has already ended its film schedule. Eppova launch penna poraanga?
