Pudhuppaadal Pesalaam, Discuss any new songs worth hearing Options

[visuja]

Ellorukkum Vanakkam.

I propose to discuss any new song that one finds to be 'listenable'. Since most of us at HF are crazy about old songs, many wont be too familair or in touch with the new melodious numbers. I would like to invite all to use this thread to recommend any new song that one finds hummable / 'listenable'. And would also be great if one could write a few points on why he / she likes that particular new song.

Firstly, thanks to HF which gives me a platform to start such a thread. Any other regular Tamil music forum would have massacred me for asking for recommendations for new 'listenable' songs !

To begin with, let me define a 'new' song by including all songs that cannot be uplaoded at HF. Discussion on any post '87 song is welcome.

Let me start by recommending ---
Song: avaL ulagha azhagiyE
Film : Laysa Laysa (2002)
Singer : Karthik Raja
MD : Harris Jeyraj
Lyrics : Vaali
Picturised on : Shyam and Trisha

I like the continuous use of beats in the background... keeps my foot tapping throughout. Very nice use of violins all thru the song. Decent lyrics too ! Thats quite a rarity, na ? There are some pauses in the song which are well used. I always like songs where the MD uses pauses to good effect. Of course, very few songs have pauses nowadays !

Heres another one that I'm crazy about nowadays:
Song : mazhai mazhai
Film : Ullam Ketkumae (2003) .. movie release -- 2005
Singers : Unnikrishnan & Harini
MD : Harris Jeyraj
Picturised on : Not bothered ...woeful picturisation

Unnikrishnan is one of my favorite singers ..... just crazy over his 'unique' voice. That he's an accomplished classical singer is an added bonus when he sings film songs. So u'll find lots of Unnikrishnan songs in this thread.

Violin piece after 1st antara is good The 'change' in the last line of the song sung by both Unni and Harini was a pleasant surprise. Aisi chhoti chhoti baatein bhi mushkil ho gayi hai naye gaanon mein Again good use of pauses, with no music and just the singer singing at places. Maybe a more mellow use of beats would have sufficed, but song's melody is good enough. Another good number from Harris Jeyraj
