Araluthiru (Kannada Solo)- Adithi

A good song is like a sneeze- you just can't contain it within for long! Here's my attempt of my latest favourite.

Have found it impossible to slip to an old varnam I learnt from my grandmom while singing this song (Vanajaaksha), so I have concluded that the tune must be in Behag/ Biyaag raag. Puritans may decide to differ, hence apologies for the mistaken identity!

Wasn't able to find anyone to mix the song, so I've decided to upload it without any effects except a very mild reverb.

My heartfelt pranaams to Chithra aunty and ARRahman for giving us this pristine tune that's nothing short of divine! _/\_

Sometimes, vocal-cut tracks and not-so-good recording set-ups don’t seem to deter the urge to record a song that has been haunting one for a long time. This being one of my most favourite classical-based numbers, I couldn’t wait for a better track and have wanted to scratch this song off my to-do list for many months.
 
My sincere thanks to Anbu Mohamed for making the track and mixing the song for me. Thanks for listening! :)

Raja Sir! Ever since I started appreciating music, you have been nourishing me with your songs! What can I, a mere fan of yours, give you in return, but tears of joy and gratitude! 

I love this song for K.S.Chithra's voice oozing pain. If one delved deeper into the song, one would seriously need therapy to get out of the dark doom this song portrays. 

Thanks a lot Anbu Mohamed, for making the track an mixing the song for me within such a short notice. Due to time constraint he could not render IR's portions in the song an has retained the original. I hope to repost once his parts are complete. 

Happy birthday to the one whose melodies stir the human in me and make me reach for the divine! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ILAYARAAJA!

Ananda Raagam (Panneer PushpangaL)- Sung by Adithi

Got to record one more song to test if I still remember the basics of Classical Music. It almost felt like I was up from a long slumber- I vaguely remembered the rules, like vaasanas from a past life. :P. Thus a note to myself to practice more often!

This song was sung by K.S.Chithra (and KJY also in the cassette) for the movie ‘Mella Thirandhadhu Kadhavu’.

Engirundho Azhaikkum- Cover version by Adithi

This is an 18-month-old recording. Thanks to Hari Bhaskar for the track and also for mixing it initially for a personal album. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate the mixed version he sent to me. Hence, I had to have it mixed again through Vishnu Mohan. Thanks a ton, Vishnu, for bearing with my constant nudges to get this done :)

Mahendran is one of the greatest directors Indian cinema has seen. Jhonny is an epic movie from almost all aspects, especially the music and re-recording. Sridevi’s character and her unconditional, uncanny affection for Rajini in the movie touches our hearts and stays indelible there. This song is one of the most sung by aspiring singers in competitions and live shows.

Hope you will like my rendition and leave your remarks/ comments/ pointers. Thanks again for listening :)

Kaatril Enthan Geetham- Cover (Sung by Adithi)

Another long pending song gets ticked off my wishlist! I simply adore this song for the almost impossible task of perfecting the nuances. A good challenge always excites an artist but the outcome completely leaves the listener to its mercy, depending on which side of the performance spectrum it slants towards. I will be elated if I got atleast a pass mark from you :)

I have to mention about the scene sequence. I will rank this scene as the worst love scene shot in Tamil Cinema. First of all, it was a sheer waste of copious amount of water in the name of indoor rain. The facial expressions of Lakshmi and Shivakumar make us wonder if it is some spoof of a love scene. Both of them fail to deliver the message that it is an erotic scene, making it an awkward experience for us viewers. The director has avoided vulgarity by clothing them both from neck to foot, instructing the hero to strictly not move from where he is standing and solely relies on the rain to convey the message of lust. In those days, when you saw it raining in a shot, you could easily guess that there is going to be a கிளுகிளு scene coming up. Thus this one takes the cake as a பேத்தல் scene in totality! :D

But the song is a masterpiece in SJanaki- IR combination and will live forever in our hearts! There is a terrific female duet in this movie which I would love to cover with some talented Muzibian soon :)

This track is a present to me from "Hari Baskar":http://www.muziboo.com/hbmuzic/ with the only request that he mix it for me. I sang the song last night and went to bed after sending it to him. He had mixed it and sent it back in just an hour.Thanks a million Hariji, for your kindness and help :)

Please do let me have your comments and suggestions! And thanks for listening! :)
