Shwetha has come to stay!

I may have to go back on my earlier statement about Manjari replacing Chitra in Malayalam but she has one hot contendor in veteran singer Sujatha's daughter Shwetha

who is ruling the charts in Malayalam and very soon maybe in Tamil too. Check out the lovely number "Naan Tharai Nila" from "Rameswaram". She sounds very much like her mother.


After watching contestant, Teenu Telence on Asia Net Idea Star Singer 2007 sing K S Chithra's "Neeraja Dala Nayana" from the album I was tempted to check out some of her devotional stuff, songs I used to listen a lot during my SabariMala yesteryears. I came across some gems here they are. First the album "Hare Mukunda" from which the song is taken. There are two others "Amabalapuzha" and "Oru Nooku Kaanuvan" that are also pleasing though they tend to sound like movie songs. And who can forget the "Jaya Vijayan" duo. Check out their Tamil offering "Alialai Kanna" where Chitra sings two memorable songs, "Natha" and "Ezhumalai Vaazhum". The songs are so good and I wasn't surprised to find two other Malayalam songs "Devi Kumaranaloor Ammae" and "Nilpoo Njan" from the album "Devi Gaanam" tuned to the tunes of the Tamil songs or maybe it was the other way around. One other song you may like is "Oru neeramengilum" from the album "Kannanaam Unni Vol 2".
Check them out. Very pleasing.
