Jag Soona Lage - Om Shanti Om

Movie: Om Shanti Om

Originally sung by: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Music Composed by: Vishal & Shekar

Language: Hindi

Blogged by: Karthik Nagarajan

Hello Music world!..It has been a long 6 month break since I posted something here....am glad to be back :)

If there is a singer I would want to worship - then it is probably Rahatji. No matter

what composition you mete out to him - the out put is a stellar performance that will make you think that certain people are gifted beyond comparison. Jagsoona Laage is a song that is pregnant with the emotions of a failed lover and Rahatji does so much justice to the song, not to mention Vishal & Shekar's laudable composition.

A special word of thanks to Sindhuja, for taking time to do the initial screening on whether I had allowed any slips in singing this song.

Do let me know how I fared in this attempt to blog this song. As a friendly reminder, please use headphones or earphones to listen to it. Thanks for your time and interest.

Munbe Vaa with Meera Manohar

I had a special liking to this song always because of Shreya Goshal. Naresh had also done a great job. A very good singer that she is, when Meera came up with the idea to do this song, I was only all the more happy to do it :) Hope you guys enjoy this posting. Please do take time to comment on it as well..look forward to them.

Thanks again! :)

Poo Vasam - Anbe Sivam

Yet another scintillating composition from Vidyasagar. Poo Vaasam had not caught my attention until Sindhuja came up with the idea to record this song…it sure is addictive and I personally feel Sindhuja has done an awesome job of singing this song. Here is our version of it…Thanks again! :)

Tulasidala Mulache - MAyAmAlava Gowlai

A simple invocation composed by Saint Thyagaraja in glory of Lord Rama.

This is largely different from any of my previous postings. I have not kept paid too much attention to the thalam because i was singing this as more of an invocation

I have tried my best to avoid any apaswaras anywhere..nonetheless if anything has evaded my care, do let me know.

thanks for listening and commenting :)

Randakka Randakka - Anniyan

This composition from Harris Jeyaraj’s is one of the most captivating 'dappanguthu' (folk-lore music) I have known in the tamil cinema music. HJ’s queer chorus syllables, and voices chosen to render the song help carve out his trademark.

Randakka from Anniyan is my favorite among his works. Amazing duo of KK and jazze gift and Sandhavi and Shreya Ghoshal and the memorable lyrics by Vairamuthu make this song HJ’s probable magnum opus.I have blogged this song with Tara Balakrishnan – a very talented singer through whom I got introduced to Muziboo. Listen to it and let me (us) know what you feel :)

Sonnalum Kaetpadhillai - Kadhal Virus

Out here at my blog, this is the first duet I am posting and I wanted that posting to be Sonnalum Kaetpadhillai - an endearing duet from the movie Kadhal Virus. Sindhuja Bhakthavatsalam, who is one of the best female singers I have stumbled upon the blogging world, has sung the female portion in this posting.

So here's our take on it. Look forward to your comments.
