Naan pogiren mele
Singers : SPB, Chi­tra
MD : James vas­an­than
Film : Naanayam

This is a sim­ple n catchy tune from James. I am hear­ing the combo of SPB and Chi­tra after a long time [ the best is ‘Thoda thoda’ — Indira ]. SPB with his age­less voice gives us one more sooth­ing duet song and James is bril­liant in select­ing the apt voices for the song [ oth­er­wise we might have ended with one more pair of new singers :) ]. Remem­ber, the tor­tur­ous days where SJanaki used to sing in a child­ish voice  [ என்ன‌ ஒரு விப‌ரீத‌ம் ! ].  Nowa­days, kids sing like SJanaki [ Adaadaa :) ].The minor flaw in the song is that resem­bles James’s pre­vi­ous work ‘Oru vetkam varudhe’ and ‘Poovukkul’ song from Jeans — though I don’t know what dif­fer­ence it could make to write about this resemblence !

Thiru Thiru
Singers : Karthik and Rita
MD : Man­isharma
Film Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru

The way I got this song is inter­est­ing than the song [ சொல்லித் தொலை :) ]. I just heard the end­ing in FM once and I couldn’t fig­ure out what the song was — I just heard some catchy music and the words ‘Kuru Kuru’. Today, I hap­pened to lis­ten the same song in FM and got this. The vio­lin music is really fresh — it’s like the vio­lins in Titanic party song. I always admire Man­isharma — Check out his work in Shah­ja­han [ Mel­li­name Mel­li­name ]. The manly voice of Karthk adds a rusti­ness to the song [ Nend­hukit­ten song was first mark ].The song has the base from ‘Dat­ing’ song in Boys — noth­ing remark­able in say­ing this resem­bling the other one buts just a thought. A sim­ple peppy song !

2 Songs which are slightly old..

Unnai kan­dene
Singers : Haricha­ran, Sruthi
MD : Dha­ran
Film : Par­i­jaad­ham 

It’s like a great tune ‘Vasee­gara’ from Har­ris. The first film of Dha­ran had this very catchy tune pat­tern and it is Unnai kan­dene. It starts with a light­ning and it’s a rain song [ Not the Tel­ugu Chiranjeevi/Balakrishna types :) ]. You feel the rain effect in the begin­ning and then Shruthi’s relax­ing voice. Inter­est­ing voices and ren­der­ing by Shruthi and Haricha­ran — duo majorly used with MDs like Dha­ran and Joshua Srid­har. This song doesn’t fit under reg­u­lar pat­tern and it’s tough to repro­duce. This smooth and pleas­ing num­ber got some beau­ti­ful lyrics too.

கோவில் உள்ளே
க‌ண்மூடி நின்றால்
உன் உருவ‌ந்தானே
நெஞ்சில் தோன்றுமே !

Siru Tho­dud­halile
Singers : Haricha­ran, Bom­bay Jayashree
MD : Dha­ran
Film : Laadam

The piano and flute in the begin­ning con­firms the good­ness of the song. It’s effec­tively car­ried by the sparkling voice of Bom­bay Jayashree [ Haricha­ran just accom­pany her ]. The elon­gated ren­der­ing is beau­ti­ful with some of the words in the lyrics. Lis­ten when Bom­bay Jayashree asks “Naan unakena irup­pen theriyadha” [ யார் மேட‌ம்.. என்னையா கேட்டீங்க‌..:) ] — very well expressed. Happy to see young­sters giv­ing melodies with some space to lis­ten to the lyrics — there was a black period in Tamil cin­eme where sound dom­i­nated music to a great extent.

I rec­om­mend actual CD audio quaal­ity of these songs in a big­ger sys­tem for the best expe­ri­ence. Happy listening
