Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[Sureshs65]

'poovakelu' is a clear example of Raja's Malayalam inspiration coming to Tamil. I am not thinking of 'odathandil'. I am more thinking of 'mazhamega chelin' from 'Katha Thudarunnu'. You can hear the same sort of rhythm in this song. Where there is one rather harsh beat in the rhythm, while the song itself is very melodious.

This album again showcases the newer Raja, who is much at peace with his synth and the recording techniques are good. This is a very good followup to 'Katha Thudarunnu' and 'Gayam 2'.
