Todays Pick:
Song; Azhagana nam Paandi Naatiniley
Film; Pudhu Patti Ponnuthayee
Singers; IR and Arunmozhi
Year:1994
song is so much soft...normally when IR wants to tell about madurai.uses heavy music such like urumi,etc..but in this song, he used even urumi in a very soft manner.
I think this is the only song IR and Arunmozhi sung together.
like lyric, this is azhagana song.

Todays Pick
Song: Oorukku Thekkaley
Film: Kummi Paattu
Singers: Arunmozhi and Swarnalatha
Year:2003
What a slang....Arun and Swarnalatha..done good rendition.
song starts like soft duet..with in fraction of second..music moves to kuthu..then immediately moves folk / themmangu with chorus..1st interlude change the song into pure duet..
Arun mozhi and Swarna take over from charanam to song end.
Flute is flying all over the song then and there...
Even I did not give much importance to this album when it got released..

Last two picks are super picks DR. I have already written about 'azhagana nam paandi naatile' song. This is one of those 'only Raja fossible' songs!!! It looks like he has taken an American country format and created a Tamil folk song!!! Superb amalgamation of different strands of musical styles.
Hearing 'ooruku thekile' for the first time. Have not heard any songs of 'Kummi Paatu' earlier. Raja's mastery over folk is very evident here. What a rhythm and what a tune. I personally feel the whole effect would have been enhanced had someone with more folk touch than Arunmozhi had sung this. (Though he has sung it well just that it is not folksy enough.) Swarnalatha brings in that folk touch very well.

After listening to these songs, I am not able to relate Gangai Amaran, Sanglimuruan, Saranraj to this album
DR,
Exactly what happened to me!! I was listening to the Raja song from this film which Venkiram had posted about and then started hearing this song ('mazhai megam'). I think it was raagas who has posted about this song earlier. A lovely ghazalish melody. Raja knows how to handle a genre and leave behind his stamp. So you cannot call this a ghazal in the strict sense. Maybe 'Razhal'? :) Asha does a fabulous job and I sometimes think if she had the pronunciation, she could have easily replaced S Janaki in Raja songs and we would not have noticed!!! I mean, she seems to understand Raja's mind well and deliver superbly, something which Janaki does consistent in Raja songs. No wonder Raja once mentioned that he had great respect for Asha and that he tried coming up with challenging tunes and that Asha would rise to the occasion.
Suresh, even I felt the pronunciation which was limiting aasha to get into tamil songs.
As there were no picks by devaragam today,let me choose one song which was a hit during the mid 90's.
A sensuous song describing the intimacy between the hero and heroine.
ORu kootil from the movie KOLANGAL which featured Jayaram and Khusboo. Well sung by Devi and Mano.
