Was watching "Manasellam" movie. Noticed that there is a short english song during the end credits. Decent one.

Watch from 73:03 (Part 2). Its been fast forwarded at the end though :). Don't know who is the singer. Jimmy and Febi are mentioned as part of the singers (in end credits).
thanks,

Finally listened to the songs of Azhagar Malai. To start with the sound quality of the album is excellent. Nice songs, reasonably well written lyrics, in fact i found all the songs are very pleasant to listen to... just like old times...
So much so that the album begging to have ramarajan and gowthami on the cover and the release date somewhere in the late nineties... Its a time capsule offered at a very low price...highly recommended for HC rajaa fans alone... not going to create a ripple for sure... now as usual we can review the the songs and list out the merits...
Once again i am convinced of the fact that very few people can extract the best music from him... i remember virumandi songs how after all those years being a real king of folk kamal made him reinvent himself again...it will be always rated as his finest effort in the folk genre.
When Pazhani bharathi started to work with IR, IR once reportedly remarked to Pazhani that his style is very similar to Vairamuthu. Pazhani has promptly replied "What wonder is there if a son resembles his father ? ".
Vairamuthu is certainly a pioneer in ushering in a new style of imaginations in Tamil lyrics. Many people including Pazhani has lifted VM's imaginations if not his words.
For example, there is a line in "Rojaavai thalaattum thendral..." from Ninaivellaam Nithya. "Nee kattum selaikku noolaaven..."
How many times has this imagination reused in Tamil songs in the nineties ?
In Kadhalukku Mariyaadhai, Pazhani used "Un Selai noolaagavaa..." in the song "Oru pattaam poochi..." :)
Well you reminded me of this song :) I watched the movie in theatre and was amused to listen to this song then. Later I had been trying to find a decent DVD of the movie and could not.Quote:

The song is just a different version of 'Nee Thoongum Nerathil' If you could notice :wink:
Yes rajasaranam, noticed that its derived from "Nee Thoongum" song. Infact, the music of "Nee thoongum" song starts about a minute before this song starts.
thanks,
Krishnan
Did KR go on vacation when IR recorded Azhagar Malai? :)
So many of IR's favorite instruments (hope they are real) have made a comeback! Wish they will stay and not get replaced by their tinny cousins.
IR's Chal Chalein starring Mithun Chakraborthy screened for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

Hulkster,
Thanks for the info. Beautiful Ludes. This year is a blast for Raaja fans I Believe :D
Thanks Hulkster! First track, although sounds nice, is too short to say anything right now. Second one seems to be a theme track with nice whistle like catchy sound and other assisting melodies. At one point in the 2nd track, there is a nice flourish of violins. Nicely done.
thanks,
Krishnan
BTW, in the gallery section, you can find three snaps of IR.
thanks,
Krishnan

SPB figures in 3 songs. Long time since he sang for a Raja movie. Bela Shinde features prominently as the female singer.
I was shocked as well. Apparently released last friday with no news on this except for this web page.

Any links to listen?

My views after a first pass listening.
The first song is a nice song sung by Illayaraja and Bhela Shinde. The second and third song are more synth dominated songs. The fourth song is of classical type, Hamsanandi based, song sung by SPB. The next song is also sung by SPB. It is a rhythm oriented devotional song. The next song is 'Enidu Enidu' the best song of the album and reminding us the Raja of the 80s. The singer listed in Sriram and Bhela Shine. Sriram sounds like Rajkumar. Excellent song which will have you pressing the rewind button. It rewinds you to the glorious 80s. The last song is a duet by SPB and Bhela. A very nice free flowing melody reminding you of the 'Aa Dinagalu' songs. All in all a mixed album. Three melody based numbers, two semi classical type numbers and two synth based numbers. Will post a more detailed review after I listen to it a few more times.
Hulk: I don't know any links which has these songs.
Yes, great to know about SPB singing for IR againQuote:

And we dont have immediate access too.
Waiting to listen to this album now.
To think of it, Bhagyadevatha, Azhagar Malai and now this one. Lookslike we will have 1 album every fortnight. :)
where can i get AM and this CD - ONLINE ???Quote:

Very interesting song with somewhat state-of-the-art style presentation (neat recording, vocal harmony, good synth sounds etc).
However, whenever I hear this song, my mind automatically switch to 100% nAttuppuRa mood and start applying the "டண்டணக்கர, டக்கர, டக்கர" pattern from country drums.
Raja has very cleverly packaged a pucca village song in a contemporary format, fusion of a different kind, IMO.
Listening to the 'yenidu yenidu' song from 'Nanavannu'. A lovely song which takes me back in time. Reminds me of some songs of master tunesmiths like MSV's 'Muthukalo Kangal' and Pendyala's 'Vinnanule Priya'. Suddha Dhanyasi? As good a song as the ones I mentioned. Lovely first interlude with some very good synth bass and violin and flute pieces. Second interlude starts with the keyboard before the violin and flute join in.
Sureshs65,
No one else other than you here, have access to Nannavanu songs. Summaa veruppethaatheenga :)
raja_fan,
That is why I am refraining myself from writing a more detailed review :) In case you are in Bangalore, you should be able to get it in stores now. I hope it becomes available widely soon. A nice album.
Suresh65,
oru paattaavadhu upload pannanumnu thonudhaa ungalukku ? :x
raja_fan,
I would love to atleast load some samples but don't have the required infrastructure to do it. (Slow link, no online account etc). I will check with my friend and see if some samples can be uploaded.
raja_fan,
I have uploaded some samples for your listening pleasure. Hope you are able to get the CD soon.
Go to this link for the samples
Thanks a lot Suresh, for posting the samples. The album no doubt is promising. from 1st listening, of the samples, i dont think i will have any complaints abt this album.
I liked Track 7 (keeravani raagam).
Yenidu Yenidu has suddha Dhanyasi tones, but i can smell lot of Madhyamavathi too. Can you confirm this raaga?
Track 1 sounds interesting despite the synth, but i must admit the female voice didnt appeal to me somehow.
Track 4 was a literal throwback at Raaga deepam song by SPB from a tamil film.
Track 5 didnt interest me much (i personally cant listen to such kind of songs, Om Sivoham being a rare exception).
I am looking forward to this album.
Thanks again to Suresh.
I am also not very certain of 'Yenidu Yenidu'. It sounds Suddha Dhanyasi but I don't think it is pure Suddha Dhanyasi. The raga seems to be on the lines of the songs I had mentioned, 'Vinnanule Priya' and 'Muthukalo Kangal'.
Track 5 is more a folk oriented song very similar to 'Sye Chindeye' from Anthapuram. I feel SPB shouts a bit in this.
There are two more songs which I have not uploaded. They are more synth driven and I am not captivated by them as of now.
Agree with you about the female voice. In many cases I wish it was someone like Shreya who had sung. The first track is indeed interesting.
Thanks Suresh for the samples.
Track 1 (muthuthu): Catchy tune with interesting rhythm. IR's strained voice shows in high pitches.
Track 4 (devadhi): I got reminded of "Vedham" song. Maybe its in the similar raagam?
Track 5 (om shivo hum): Chorus and rhythm reminded me of "Thai thaga thai" song. Decent I should say.
Track 6 (yenidhu) : Nice melody. Who is the singer? Sriram Parthasarathy?
Track 7 (mudhalane): Right from prelude, this song impresses. The flowing flute is amazing.
Looking forward to the full songs.
thanks,
Krishnan
:ty: suresh for the generosity. Will go over the songs.
My Dear LOVER BOY is back with Shri.IR! :bluejump: :swinghead:

Vinatha.
I'm so thrilled,, so the fm in bangalore have got some good no's to play from now on ,, :)
Thanks for the samples Suresh
One more feather in IR's 2009 cap!
Krish,
I don't think it is Sriram Parthasarathy. The voice doesn't sound like him. It reminds me more of Rajkumar's voice.
Vinatha: I generally shop for my CDs at Calypso in Jayanagar or Landmark in Forum Mall.
Thanks Suresh,
How about Malleshwaram, Mathekere ...
My folks buy from MaEbag.com too.

vinatha.
Vinatha,
In Malleswaram, there are many shops on the Sampige Road near the 8th cross. A small complex inside which you will find lots of shops selling CDs. They generally have the whole range, film, classical etc.
Thanks Suresh for the samples :)
I liked 3 songs, yet feel IR could have avoided singing !
And for the first time , I find the lion SPB struggling to keep up his standard :(
Yenidhu is class ! Sounds like Rajkumar is out of his grave..
