Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

The interesting part about 'unnaiththAnE' is it's a duet-less duet. The starting pallavi and 1st saraNam are 100% female and the pallavi after 1st saraNam to end is 100% male :-)

While Raja keeps mesmerizing with the piano / violin combo interludes and sweet veeNai sounds here and there, it's the effortless sixers of KJY that make this song so endearing.

Each time I listen to that very casual delivery of "அடடா முந்தானை சிறையானது", I get an involuntary laughter :-)

Gem of a song with what a flow!

Songs Oh Janani and Vaadumo Oviyam - are simply too good. Quintessential Raaja melodies for this much maligned jeyachitra movie.
The speciality of Vaadumo Oviyam is the intricate bass score and breezy singing by Janaki.

There is one template sober melody in "Deivangal kan paarthadhu" sung by Mano - simple oft heard melody tune by Raaja - yet is soothing and relaxing save for the second interlude which is uneasy due to context..

typically i wait for listening to full album before i write about a song.. but this one got me even before song #2.
Particularly note how mild is the play of instruments in the second interlude - but the melody in the interlude is absolutely mind blowing...
Idhai naan "Ulagathukkum appaarpatta tharam" endru solven..
Yesappu has once again come to the party..

app,
Thanks for unani thanae..

Muthadudhae - is one more GEM to me.........

Jai,

Thanks................
Deivangal is my pick............

The song evokes a romantic mood so easily, and with so little effort. Listen to SJ's enchanting whispering voice take over the song, especially in the charanams. The laid back mood that the singer has is in contrast with the metronomic beat that the song follows. Even as we wonder whether the song is going to take a pause after the interludes, SJ starts off the charanams at the beat. I wonder if a younger IR would have let the song take a more freewheeling route and would have added more jazz touches to this song.

Jai,

Looks like you are going through Raja hits on Thiraipaadal in an alphabetical order :) Will now need to listen to these songs over the weekend.

Nandalala songs in loop :musicsmile:

when the album was released, I was listening more to the mella oorundhu, Onnukonnu & kai veesi...

along with this, now I am impressed more with Eilea Eilea.. this is definetly one of its kind.. andha udukkai sound oru inam puriyatha unarvai aerpaduthuthu... kind of a dark feel. This is where IR shows his uniqueness where he speaks very close to our feelings through his music.. the song would have been even more interesting with a powerful lyrics..

oru vandu koottame is just OK but the first interlude (between 1:24 to 1:44) :shock: terrific.. time and again, he is giving such amazing interludes.. :D this is my current ringtone as well..

raajarasigan, why u are giving credit to Raaja for a song which has not done by Raaja
