IR's New albums - Ver 2008

Haricharan has also sung Ottrai kannale from "Vel"... I liked his voice instantly... nice to see that it has managed to get Raja's attention and nod as well.

"Aval Appadithan" Rudhraih back to TFI

From the above linke, a new matter to know (atleast for me)

இளையராஜாவின் இசையில் கவியரசு கண்ணதாசனே வெகுவாக ரசித்துக் கேட்ட 'உறவுகள் தொடர்கதை...' எனும் அருமையான பாடல் இந்தப் படத்தில்தான் இடம் பெற்றிருந்தது. இதை எழுதியவர் கங்கை அமரன்.
அதே போல இதே படத்தில் கங்கை அமரன் எழுதி கமல் பாடிய இன்னொரு பாடலான பன்னீர் புஷ்பங்களே... பெரும் வரவேற்பைப் பெற்றது அன்றைக்கு.

இத்தனைக்கும் கவியரசர் இந்தப் படத்தில் 'வாழ்க்கை ஓடம் செல்ல...' எனும் பாடலை எழுதியிருந்தார். அதையே தூக்கி சாப்பிட்ட பாடலாக அமைந்தது உறவுகள் தொடர்கதை. அதே போல எழுத்தாளர் வண்ணநிலவனும் இப்படத்தில் குறிப்பிடத்தக்க பங்காற்றியிருந்தார்.

It says there is an instrumental theme piece only included in cassette (reminds us that "cassette" still exists!)

thanks,

My (late) opinion about KKP!

1. Hey Mamu: Enough of "tan taka taun" please! Did not like the song.

2. Maalai Nila: Right from the first note, this song impressed me, although I wish the interludes were better. Nevertheless this is one of the best songs in this album. Nice tune. I wonder if IR has tried to sound more unlike himself in this song. I mean more like a professional singer singing a duet.

3. Naalai Inneram: The way the pallavi starts and charanam ends, it took me back to "Anne Anne sippai.." days, but the otherwise nice tune and the smooth flowing music makes one to enjoy the song. Somehow IR has a knack of introducing silence (pause) in a song if situation demands and he is very good at that I think. Notice the 2nd charanam.

4. Sollumvarai kaadhal: Somehow felt its a slow tune. The way Manjari starts "sollu sollava", it (the pattern) reminds me of some other IR song, but I dont recollect. Anyway not a big thing. Charanam sounded better. I just did not like the "too plain" 1st interlude. Looks like IR experimented with some sounds :). 2nd was somewhat better (only).

5. Pottumela: I listened to this song the 2nd time without analysing anything just to enjoy the old IR in this song. For me, this is the other best song of the album. Loved the 1st interlude. Do I hear guitar (or simulated) bits as bass portions. Love the way the charanam tune starts. 2nd interlude is not as good as 1st one, but ok. . If picturised, it has potential to become a popular song. Good singing.
