Nandhalala - Ilaiyaraja's magic again!
Hey Folks,
Hope you guys are all having fun with music. How music makes one so young at heart!!! You should check out the songs of Nandhalala - a new movie whose music is composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraja.
Few words about some songs:
Mella Oorndhu Oorndhu:
Signature song by IR in A major scale going on a Waltz rhythm. One should appreciate the novelty in the chords used by IR in this song. The arpeggio pattern on the background throughout the song is a treat for the listeners. The ending on the second interlude is something specific to IR compositions. One will end up humming this song throughout the day.
Onnakkonnu:
They say, it's another Kanne Kalaimaane for the fans. A sweet lullaby (is it really a lullaby in the movie? I am not sure) sung by Dr. KJ Yesudas. Such an apt voice for this number, made in E major. You know what, when I listened to this song the first time, it made me feel that this is like an AR Rahman's slow number. You will experience this when you listen to the charanam starting where the flute goes on the background - a typical usage by AR.
Thaalaattu Ketka Naanum:
I wish I knew what this song means. I can feel the emotion conveyed by this song and no one other than IR could have sung this number so well. I think IR's husky voice helped the feel. I simply love this song for its chords and the emotional appeal. I am sure it would be mind-blowing watching it in the movie.
Kai Veesi:
Now, I call this song so youthful. Who says IR is getting older? :) This number is a rhythmically and melodically challenging song (especially for the singer). Vijay Yesudas and Swetha did really well! I love the charanam tune for its melody. How well IR has composed this number with such seamless connectivity. By the way, the interludes aren't too different in this song.
Hope you have a chance to listen to this album!
