Once again, some lovely songs from the recent past

As it always happens there are songs that bowl you over with the gradual passing of time. Here's one, from the Tamil movie Vattaram called "Idhu Naana". What a lovely song and I cannot help admiring Kalyani Menon's voice and delivery. This is the same lady that had sung "Adi Thozhi" from the Parthiban Movie Thendral. Credit should also be given to the sensous number taken around the Athirampally waterfalls with Adisaya and Arya that also lured me to this number.

The other song that kind of missed my ears is "Nee Oru Puzhayai" from the Malayalam movie "Thilakkam". I defy even veterans to sing this song because it has to only be sung with a cool and a calm as Jayachandran does in this lovely number. Jayachandran is literally on a comeback trail in Malayalam not to forget he is still singing great songs in Tamil. Now that Yesudas is almost out of the music scene in Kerala it is wonderful to see Jayachandran still entertaining his Malayalee fans with hit after hit.

Of the other songs that I thought I missed one is "Thaaliye Thevaille" from the Vishal movie Thambirabarani. After a while it is nice to hear a good song from Bhavatharini. The other is also from another Vishaal starrer called "Maana Madurai" sung by Shankar Mahadevan but I haven't found the link yet. Let me know if you do.

Illayaraja strikes again in Malayalam

Too much of other pre-occupations has led me to post so late but not that there has been a dearth of good new songs. In Malayalam, Illayaraja had done it again with two lovely songs in the movie Vinodayathra, songs that are the most requested and played now in rainy Kerala. I am not sure who the singers are but "Kaiyetha" my favorite could be a Manjari number. The other, the duet "Mandhara Poo" may be sung by Madhu Balakrishnan and Majari again but not sure about the female singer. Check them out, they are lovely.
