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 !

Male version of Kannukku Mai Azhaghu has been uploaded here.

Chikku Bukku Raile was copied into the title song of Raaja Babu... Bak Chik Bak Raaja Baabuuuuuuuu
Ashokan is also 1993 apparently, according to my earlier wikipedia source

Another number in Pudhiya Mugham worth mention is: (violin pieces are just too good )
Song: Netru Illaadha Maatram (first song at Raaga ... Idhu thaan kaadhal)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Singer: Sujaatha
Hindi Version: Kal Nahiin Tha Woh Kya Hai from Vishwa Vidhaata (1997)

Shall upload it in the near future. Meanwhile here are the lyrics:
