Happy & Healthy New Year 2009!!

Its been a while since I got a chance to update my blog...my computer that has the recording software has monitor problems, my work life is keeping me busy with preparation for PMP exam, home life is unbelievably hectic as usual...so I have many excuses to have not gotten around to recording those innumerable number of songs that I want to..:-)

My excuses aside, this post is for to all those loving dedicated listeners of my blog, who have not given up on me and keep visiting and encouraging me to sing more!!

Here is WISHING ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY a VERY VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY and HARMONIOUS NEW YEAR 2009!!

Kannan Vandu Padugindran - S. Janaki

Old time favorite of mine...remember seeing this song in Doordarshan (those good old days!) during "Oliyum Oliyum", actress Radhika standing on a stage and singing this song with the mic in this movie...I used to imagine myself in her place singing that song on a stage...

Tho there is no physical stage, I got the opportunity to sing that song here today and upload it for my virutal stage audience and listeners.

Please let me know how it sounds..took me exactly 45 minutes to sing, record, mix and upload (one of my record time recordings!!)

Song: Kannan Vandhu Padugindran
Movie: Rettai Vaal Kuruvi
Original Singer: S. Janaki

Ninaithu Ninaithu Paarthaal - Shreya Ghoshal

9/14 - Uploaded a new version with better Ktrack in background..thanks to TC Neha!!
==================================================================================

I have been wanting to sing a song by Shreya for a very long time and finally managed one not so complex a song....in the long list that I want to sing of her songs is Naare from Guru, Yeh Ishq from Jab We Met, Jane Dona from Cheeni Kum, a tamil serial title song Mekala, and it goes on......

Melody of a song...one can easily feel the tears streaming down as you listen and sing this song....so much sadness and pathos filled to the brim....

Obviously my version won't be as good, especially since the ktrack was not so great (blame it on Ktrack...right?!), high notes were not easy either, so do listen and give me your feedback so that I can redo the parts where its off base...

Song: Ninaithu Ninaithu Paarthal
Singer: Shreya Ghosal
Movie: 7G Rainbow Colony

Kuzhaloodum Kannanukku - K S Chitra

After singing Hindi and English songs wanted to get back to native land...Been wanting to sing this song for a Verrrrry long time...FINALLY...

Such a melody composition by M.S.Viswanathan and Ilayaraja...rare combo...sung mellifluously by Chitraji...All songs in this movie are a super hit...

Recently Ilayaraja redid this song in Hindi for "Cheeni Kum" - "Baatein Hawaein" sung by Shreya Ghoshal. If I get the Ktrack for that song, will definitely try to sing that version too..so if you happen to know where I can get the Hindi Ktrack, pl let me know.

Song: Kuzhaloodum Kannanukku
Movie: Mella Thirandhadu Kadavu
Originally Sung by: K.S.Chitra

I felt that the rendition sounded better with headphones on vs on a speaker..but taking the step to post it..let me know if there are any glitches, and I will redo...

As always..thanks for listening and encouraging!!
