Yamuna Teeram

Song : Yamuna Teeram
Movie Name : Anand
Singer : Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal
Music Director : K M Radhakrishna

Some songs remain with you for a long time. This is going to be one such song. Anand is my favourite album of this decade. This is the first CD that I was really proud of buying and I couldnt wait till I heard the songs over and over and over again. The composition is simply brilliant and I thought it brought a jolt in my dull perception of the music industry. I could immediately relate to the music. When I saw the movie in the theatre, I was immersed in the soundtrack and could not wait till the songs started. It was the first time that I was not ashamed of humming along with the song when it finally came towards the end! Kudos to K M Radhakrishna and I keep hoping that he has more where this came from!

Chitti Chilakavo

Song : Chitti Chilakavo
Movie Name : Keka
Singer : Hariharan, Kousalya
Music Director : Chakri

Good directors have the knack of extracting good music from the otherwise ordinary people. Case in point is Puri Jagan - Chakri (for IDIOT), Krishna Vamsi - Chakri (for Chakram) and Vamsy- Chakri (for Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru). This movie is going to go down in the same genre. This particular song has a Vamsy format which I think is the biggest redeeming feature  for Chakri. I can forgive his excessive use of his own voice and Kousalya's voice just for this gift of his. This song makes me have even higher hopes for his forthcoming combination with Vamsy (for Gopi, Gopika Godavari Teeram).
