Oorusanam Thoongiruchu Song

The song which would undoubtedly sit in any IR fan's brain.This song has an even added beauty,since,it was the "isai jambawan" duet music combo,IR and MSV.

Sonnalum Ketpadhilai Song-Meena & Unni Krishnan Duet

I finally get to sing with "Kalaimamani " P.Unnikrishnan :D.The ever refreshing melody,still remains evergreen and will forever.I think these kind of master pieces could be made possible by the one and only "Oscar Nayagan" Thiru.A R Rahman.

Now this is another famous song composed by the one and only "Isai Puyal" A R Rahman and sung by the most hit duet pair,Unnikrishnan and Harini.Thought,it would be great to sing this song with Unni Krishnan("My Dream and still is":)).So tried to make one karaoke track.I have also done my own improvisations at some places.Hope you ll like it!!!

So,here goes my attempt upon this hit number.Just leave in your thoughts as always,folks!!!

Idhazhil Kadhai Ezhudhum Song Duet

This song,thats probably one of those very tough songs to render for one,being the raga itself and another one being the extraordinary composition by Raja sir.Now myself and another excellent singer,Thinkal Govind Kumar,have attempted this number.Being one BIG IL fan,no wonder this song remains to be in my diary :).

As about this duet,got acquainted with Thinkal ji,the co-singer,a few months ago through the most amazing Muziboo blog.We started making the song a couple of weeks back.He was a lil nervous delivering this renditon due to he hailing from the "God's own country" and that he had just got introduced to the song.Now here it is for a release :).

Oru Murai Vandhu Paarthaaya-Meena's Cover Version

This is probably one of the songs thats quite tough to render due to the heavy classical punch.I just plunged upon this great track and gave it a quick try.The entire song recording was completed in less than an hour.Now coming this is song,it requires a worthy mention of the most talented dancer,Padmashree.Dr.Shobana Chandra Kumar and offcourse Chitra.K.S ji.

The mindblowing expressions of Shobana and the golden voice of Chitra have amazingly complimented each other.I have already sung the hindi version of this song.This was one of my older recordings.I was just an infant in the process of learning this whole thing exploring at that stage.Hence,the mixing and stuff might not be so good.Kindly bear with me for that recording.I have come a long way since then!!!You could listen to it here-->Mere Dholna Sun
