Taking a page from itwofs Kartik's blogs, I have decided to put a list of my top recent listens. I am not sure how often I will put up a list of this sort, but my hope is to mention some of the songs that I have been too lazy to write about otherwise. The list is in no particular order.
1. Song : Kanivini Erugani, Preme Neramouna, Hi Lovely
Movie: Mayabazaar
Singer : Gayahtri & Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal & K M Radhakrishna, Vasundhara Das
Music Director : K M Radhakrishna
An honest attempt at a good album from this young guy. He has broken from his established trend to give very good music for this movie. The charanams are as interesting as the pallavi. Dont be scared of listening to a sad song for "Preme Neramouna", you will miss out on a good melody. Gayathri dazzles in "Kanivini Erugani".
2. Song : Pratidinam, Ninu Vethiki, Kuyilalo
Movie : Anumanaspadam
Singer : Unni Krishnan, Shreya Ghoshal & Vijay Yesudas, Shreya Ghoshal & Shreya Ghoshal
Music Director : Illayaraja
The prelude to the songs is enough for all IR-Vamsy lovers to start drooling over the picturisation of these songs! Shreya Ghoshal gets near flawless with her pronunciation and Unni Krishnan gets browny points for his rendition that suits Vamsy style!
3. Song : Tere Bina, Barso Re, Ay Hairathen
Movie : Guru
Singer : A R Rehman, Chinmayee & Shreya Ghoshal, Uday Mazumdar & Hariharan, Alka Yagnik
Music Director : A R Rehman
Its a testimony to a great music director. With a limited number of listenings, these songs have quickly caught on (more so after seeing the movie). "Tere Bina" reminds you of "Mangalyam" from Alaipayuthey in parts. Cant say enough about the singers - awesome job!!
4. Song : Nee Valle
Movie : Annavaram
Singer : Tippu, Kalyani
Music Director : Ramana Gogula
The expectations are high since "Pedavi daatani" of Tammudu and "Bangala Khatamlo, Aey Chiquita" of Bhadri from the Ramana Gogula-Pawan Kalyan combo. This song definitely lives up to that reputation. About the singers...why not Sunitha ??
