IR's New albums - Ver 2008/2009

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

Namakku Andrum Indrum Endrumey Blast thaan :D

The first song caught my attention. There is a nice underlying piano which makes it sound sweet. Quite different orchestration.

Thanks!
Short but promising nevertheless...

The sound track of the Kannada movie 'Nannavanu' has been released. Has 6 regular tracks and one short track. On first pass 3 superb songs. Will listen more and give a review.

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.

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..." :)

Dig:
It will be interesting to start a thread on the similarities in the Tamil lyrics (Or, is there already one?). Not to demean anyone. Just for academic purposes. :)

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 again

It is weird and disappointing that we folks dont even know if a Ilaiyaraaja album is about to be released or not. Despite this being information-age, the internet, the "everrything is news" kind of world thats around us... Suddenly, out of the blow, we come to know about it.

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. :)
