A beautiful song from Yesudas and other new good Mallu songs

"PachapanamThathe" from the Malayalam movie "Nottam" is a lovely song with a simple beat but one that brings cheer to Yesudas's fans. It's always a good feeling to see veterans make a great song now and then. There is a melancholy about this song that is going to be enjoyed for quite some time. The songs "Mayangi Poi" by Chithra and "Melle" by the music director Jayachandran are also worth a listen.

New and young music directors, singers and lyricists are making Malayalam songs more appealing particularly for malayalee listener's in other states. One such contribution are the songs of the new Malayalam film "Out of Syllabus". Check out "Mayajalathil" sung by Vineeth Sreenivasan son of veteran actor Srieenivasan. If only Bennet and Veetrag had added a different tune in between the second charanam and Pallavi (instead of repeating the same tune again from the previous charanam-pallavi tune) and matched the charanam to the pallavi with a modified tune with beats the song would have been all the more better. Other songs in the movie that are worth mentioning are "Poyivaruvan", both Manjari and Veetrag sung versions and "Ee Kalpadavil" again both the Asha and Venugopal versions. The song "Poovinu Ithal Cheppil" sung by Manjari and Vidhu Pratap is listenable too.
