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

Hi,

I'm back, this time with a romantic solo number that I 'discovered' quite recently. first heard the song in SUN TV's Saptha Swarangal program. Had been searching for it for sometime till I heard it again in the local radio station !

Song : vizhigaLin arughinil vAnam
Movie : Azhagiya Theeyae (2004)
Singer & MD: Ramesh Vinayagam

Any info on lyricist ?? One Kavivarman ?? After a pretty long time, I've liked a song for its lyrics ! The music is decent (as in no heavy beats &/or dappaangutthu stuff). The singer is quite ok, except for a distinct nasal tone, which makes the "Oho yea" part very likeable.

couldnt resist posting the lyrics...so here it goes.... and a single BIG for the whole song
*Me in thamizh pulavar mode today *

PS : And I almost forgot .... I'll try my best not to include any Rahman numbers in the thread... warna to bas likhtaaaaaaaaaa hi rahoonga.....

Ok me back again to 'review' another new song. Going by the 25 views to this thread, I hope I'm not the only one visiting here.

I pick a slow romantic SPB - Janaki duet for a change.

Song : malarae mounamA
Film : Karna (1995)
Singers : SPB and S. Janaki
MD : Vidyasagar
Lyrics :
Cast : Arjun, Ranjeetha (!!??)

Karna seems to be the MDs 2nd film. Also seems to be one of Arjun's earlier Tamil films immediately after Gentleman.

The pace of the song is excellent, with nice variations in every line by both SPB and SJ. The entire song has a brilliant romantic feel to it, not too loud and very soothing (except for loud beats at some places). Again, some nice use of pauses towards the end of each stanza.

Anyone has an idea which raagam / classical composition the song is based on ?? If theres one, I'd like to hear the original krithi / krithi on same raaga.

The overall feel is quite similar to the the Rehman number malarghaLae malarghaLae from Love Birds (1996) (ofc, interlude music in the ARR one is just ).

Back to mah thread !
Have been listening to a few new Tamil songs lately .... and me fast turning into a Harris Jeyraj pankha.
This song is from his recent movie... Thotti Jaya !! The name and cast (except for Gopika) didnt inspire me to take a look at the music album (hadnt singled out Harris Jeyraj then), until I heard this song on radio.
Very very pleasant song .... esp with his fav mascot Bombay Jayshree singing in her husky shekshy voice

Song: Uyirae En Uyirae
Film: Totti Jaya (2005)
Singers: Karthik, Anuradha Sriram, Bombay Jayeshree
Music: Harris Jeyraj
Cast: Silambarasan, Gopika

Like the places where Bombay Jayshree sings... and esp the lines..
Yengaeyo Un Mugham Naan Paartha Nyaabagham
Yeppodho Unnudan Naan Vaazhndha Nyaabagham

Next one is from the film 12B !! (apun 8 LTD karke phillum banaayega.. roz Chembur se King's Circle !)

Havent watched the film .. though it stars both Jyothika and Simran in it Saw the picturization onylrecently and Simran looks so gorgeous in a sari First heard it a few years back (when I was discovering ARR's songs) and thought this to be a Rahman composition with Chitra and Unni Krishnan singing.

Turns out its Harris Jeyraj's second film ! Nice melodious music, nice singing..... mainly a female solo with a few male lines. Love the humming in between and during the antaras....

Song: Poovae Vaai Peisumbodhu
Film: 12B (2001)
Singers: Mahalakshmi Iyer, Harish Raghavendra
Music: Harris Jeyraj
Picturised on: Simran, Shaam

[visuja]

A diversion to one of the 'inspired' MDs in TFM today... Deva !
If only he didnt come up with occasional brilliances, I wouldnt have bothered listening to him !

This is quite an 'old' song from the late 90's. Havent seen the picturisation or recognise the cast, but very nice song and apt lyrics.... well one needs to be a forlorn lover to appreciate it

Hariharan as always does a good job, music is decent and the female humming is nice too.

Song: Oru Mani Aditthaal
Film: Kaalamellaam Kaadhal Vaazhgha (1997)
Singer: Hariharan
Music: Deva

The mukhda goes like this:
Oru Mani Aditthaal Kannae Un Nyaabagham
Telephone Kuyilae Veindum Un Dharsanam
Podhum Kannae Nee Nadatthum Naadaghamae
Thoongumbodhum Thoongavillai Un Nyaabaghamae
Paadinaal Andha Paadalin Swaram Nee Adiyo
Theidinaal Vizhi Eeram Aavadhu Yaenadiyo

[Nimii]
