Violin Song

Song: Violin Song
Movie Name : Iddaramayilatho
Singers : David Simon, Anitha
Music Director : Devisri Prasad
 
Perhaps the biggest drawback of this song, is the expectactions that come with naming a song as "Violin Song". Once you get past that, this is an exciting number that belongs largely to the fusion category. Devi excels at adding melody to fast paced numbers, and this plays to his strengths when Anitha joins the vocals in that low-pitch voice with intriguing lyrics. David Simon (who is this guy ??!) suits this song very well and is an example of the attitude that is important when a song is sung (along with the ability to maintain a pitch and rhythm).

Ankahee

Movie Name : Lootera

"Kya kabhi savera

Laata hai andhera ?

Sookhi siyahi
Deti hai gawaahi"

  The fact that this song stood out against the backdrop of two new released from Rahman (Mariyan and Raanjhnaa) in the recent past, should hopefully give you enough curiousity to listen to this song at least a couple of times. Lyricist and singer Amitabh Bhattacharya sings this melodious song against the canvas of canvas of familiar instruments. The song is slow without being cloying, breezy without being shallow, deep without being overbearing. Its a fine delicate balance, and it helps that the minimal orchestrization makes it sound like someone singing at a light music competition with a guitar in hand. Enough words, go listen to it!
