Happy New Year

Song : Happy New Year
Movie Name : Kuruvi
Singer : Yogi B, Sunidhi Chauhan, Dr Burn
Music Director : Vidyasagar

This song slipped by me when I heard it the firs time. Then I saw this mediocre movie and this song made me take notice. The song belongs to Yogi B and his heavy voice. I think this genre of mixing rap with local beats is an interesting experiment and it pays off in Kuruvi. Sunidhi Chauhan chips in very well and brings out the right essence in this song. My fav part of the song is

"Avan kangalai parthen, koralai keaten,
Asadu vetchen, oh manasu tetchevan,
Avan Singa kutty, sutha thanga katti, sollu ponna
Ilayathalapathy…!"

Kangal Irundhal

Song : Kangal Irundhal

Movie Name : Subramaniyapuram
Singer : Belly Raj, Deepa Mariam
Music Director : James Vasanthan

I thought of writing this song as soon as I heard it because I knew I would like it all the way through and that it would stay with me for a while. The song strongly reminded me of "Chinna kannan azhaikkiran" composed by Illayaraja and sung by Balamurali Krishna. This entry is a tribute to that song. I heard Chinna Kannan when I saw an Illayaraja concert on youtube. The way he chided Yuvan for singing mechanically was awesome! :) Coming back to this song, I like it for the new singers who gave it a good feel. The other songs in the movie - not so much to talk about.

Song : Jennifer Lopez
Movie Name : Jalsa
Singer : Benny, Priya
Music Director :Devisri Prasad

I have heard this song only a few times and then one day while at the gym, this song just stuck with me. I think it was the stanza and the accent of the singers that appealed to me. And then later, when I remembered the interlude, I fell for it. Since then, I have been wanting to listen to this song a lot of times and today when I got to it, I wanted to write about it! My favourite part is the interlude

"...wanna wanna wo saana waana waana wo..."

and the line

"..naa zodiaccu signu ve nuvva ?!.."
