Kadhal Anukaal – EnDhIrAn (TaMiL)!

Hurray!!! after a long wait KaDhAl AnUkAaL released!
just waiting eagerlyyyyy!! Aab jaan mein jaan aayi!!!
sung by one & only ShReYa GhOsHaL & vIjAy PrAkAsH!
let’s talk something very intrestingggg about this auspicious
 & enlightment tamil track!

“ spanking romantic duet with best elements of music.
lots of fill-ins crème da la crème rhythmic chords stroks
on guitars, mild beats & ofcourse the best singers they
 are ShReYa & ViJaY on tracks!!!”

Guys, I dint knew before about the track “KaDhAl AnUkAaL”
 when shreya herself posted the link of thetrack in
 twitter. By listening I just got GoOsE bUmPs!!!
in my feeling it feels like it’s a BaNd SoNg by BaNg Of
BoYs, BoMbAy ViKiNgS, pAaLaSh & hIp hOp BaNdS!
just a very huge similar track!! In this track when shreya
sings the line “dIm ToOm ToOm” is just outstandinGGG!
& i cant controlled the feeling about the track!

“Ni MoOcHu MaRiVyAl PiTaM
  nHoDa MuThAm
  GhE Pa DiL jItAm NoO nOo
  dHiM tOoM tOoM
  DhIm tOoM tOoM
  DhIm ToOm ToOm”

  This is my favouriateee lyrics in starting sung by shreya.
  I don’t know its right or not but I tried my level best to
  catch as much I can! will post the whole lyrics soon when
  i get it! The lyrics which I posted it pronounced many a
  times by shreya!! Lets watch out some more! EzAzAt
  DiJiYe? HaI nAaAa?

“ KaAgA aDoOkAl
   oOdAmBiLl YaTaNe
   NeWtRoM eLeCtRoM
   OOnKaDuM kAnD
   MOoThU YaTaNe”

Guys, like to share my views more about “KaDhAl AnUkAaAl”
 in my views i felt that the track is similarto the hindi
 movie SaAtHiYa! the track named “O HuM dUm” 
& “SaAtHiYa (ThEmE)! you can also listen this type of
 tracks in GoA bEaChEs at night, partying all that!
hope you got it! Ok! let’s move on more deep about track!

“The mellifluous opening guitar strumming is simply
yet soul-stirring. This is a typical ARR melody of the
2000s with pacey beats in the background & a gentle
melody in the foreground. The first musical interlude
with the distinctive note of bagpipes has a soothing feel
to it, but when the techno beats surface in the second
interlude we are reminded that we are still in the EnDhIrAn
album! needless to say! ViJaY & sHrEyA bring
 soul to the composition –they always do!!!”

ShReYa GhOsHaL nominated for idea bangla music awards 2010!

92.7 big fm that happens to be the radio media of
reliance broadcast network has collaborated with
idea cellular, which is the pan India mobile operator
in order to present the IdEa BaNgLa MuSiC aWaRds

“ShReYa GhOsHal  got the nomination for “JaO
  pAkHi” & “pHeRaRi MoN” from the movie
  AnTaHeEn! for which she also won a NaTiOnAl
  AwArD! surely she will win!!!”

  According to Mr. Singh Baran, idea bangla music
  award 2010 aims to provide a premium platform so
  as to recognize & celebrate the exceptional talent
  that exits in BaNgLa MuSiC Mr. Baran is from the
  reliance broadcast idea big bangla music awards.

  He further credits Bengal as the birth place of a
  quantity of awesome music & musical legends;
  however the music hasn’t yet got the recognition
  that it so richly deserves.

  Thus the corporate biggies; 92.7 BIG FM and idea
  cellular are starting the ‘show’ in order to find out
  the hidden musical talent of Bengal. Mr. Aloke Malik,
  said the CEO of the eastern idea cellular, said that music
  is eternal & the Bengali people very much recognized!

Pal mein yakeen tha, ab gumaan pal mein
Pal mein umeed thi, armaan pal mein
Pal mein bahaar thi, ab khizaan pal mein
Pal mein mila jahan, hai dhua pal mein
Pal mein yakeen tha, ab gumaan pal mein

Hum se kyun kar kismat roothi
Haathon se yeh jannat chooti
Jin ko sajne umar lagi thi
Woh hi sapne tootey sab
Pal mein ummeed thi, armaan pal mein
Pal mein bahaar thi, ab khizaan pal mein
Pal mein mila jahan, hai dhua pal mein
Pal mein yakeen tha, ab gumaan pal mein


Choda sab kuch jo kuch paaya
Yaadein teri bas le aaya
Tujh mein har pal khona chaaha
Kaise khoya tujh ko hi
Pal mein ummeed thi, armaan pal mein
Pal mein bahaar thi, ab khizaan pal mein
Pal mein mila jahan, hai dhua pal mein
Pal mein yakeen tha, ab gumaan pal mein

Singing his way to the top!

With four more weeks to go, it is still a long way before the audience chooses its fifth Indian Idol. But 24-year-old Sreeramchandra from Hyderabad is happy with the fact that he has made it to the top five without landing in the danger zone even once. Incidentally, after Karunya who had finished as the runner-up in the second edition of Indian Idol, Sreeram is the second participant from Hyderabad who has impressed judges and viewers alike with his versatility. What’s more, even before the final result is out, Sreeram has recorded a duet song with well known singer Shreya Ghoshal for an untitled Telugu film with music directors Salim-Suleiman. Will his consistent performance help him sing his way to victory in the finals? “That’s pretty hard to say because anything can happen,” says Sreeram who started singing way back in school but began training professionally in the first year of his college.
A complete music enthusiast who has participated in singing shows for regional channels before auditioning for Indian Idol 5 earlier this year, Sreeram says getting through the audition stage was his first biggest challenge. “After standing in a queue for 14 hours I got only 90 seconds to impress judges. So that was the first real big test,” he elaborates. It’s been nearly three months of sheer hard work and hours of practice that has seen him through to the top five. “It’s been a wonderful but not tough journey though. But the best part is that my performance has been consistent. Judges and viewers have appreciated my versatility,” he informs.
While he is determined to work hard Sreeram knows that the public votes can throw a surprise anytime. “Nobody is safe till the last vote is counted in the finals,” he reasons. His dream of becoming a playback singer seems to be coming true. “I always wanted to be a playback singer. I was thrilled when (Indian Idol judge) Salim Sir asked me to sing a duet with Shreya Ghoshal,” he smiles.

Mobile player Spice hunts for talented singers !

Mobile audition is an offering that will enable aspiring singers to not only record their songs, but also have them voted by others as a popular choice.  This will be done through Spice Digital’s Music VAS technologies. 
Spice Digital Limited CEO Saket Agarwal said, “One of the biggest segments within the Mobile VAS business is the entertainment industry.

Endhiran songs rock: Read Endhiran music review!

Well, the mystery has begun to unravel. First, we were given stingy glimpses of the stills of the highly-anticipatedEndhiran. Right there, our imagination spread its limitless wings, encouraged by the flamboyance of the photographs. And now, it’s time to get a taste of the movie's music. Coming from A.R. Rahman, one is already set to listen to techno beats and snazzy rhythms. When the movie is titled Endhiran (which means Robot), we know there’s no room for the ordinary. Both expectations are thoroughly satisfied.
Produced by Sun Pictures, directed by Shankar, starring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the songs of Endhiran are released under the Think Music label.
Click here for ENDHIRAN SONGS.

The album takes off with 'Pudhiya Manidha' in the voices of S.P. Balasubrahmanyam, A.R. Rahman and his daughter Khatija Rahman. In keeping with the futuristic theme of the movie' the opening notes are very techno. A robotic rendering of the first verse is followed by slow strong chanting ‘Pudhiya Manidha Boomiku Va’. The song goes on to sing the praise of the Robot and it’s sublimity. When the pace gradually picks up, SPB’s vocals overpower the others'.
The next song is 'Kadhal Anukkal', a poetic love song in the voices of Vijay Prakash and Shreya Ghoshal. The mellifluous opening guitar strumming is simple yet soul-stirring. This is a typical ARR melody of the 2000s with pacey beats in the background and a gentle melody in the foreground. The first musical interlude with the distinctive note of bagpipes has a soothing feel to it, but when the techno beats surface in the second interlude, we are reminded that we are still in the Endhiran album! Needless to say, Vijay and Shreya bring soul to the composition – they always do!
'Irumbilae Oru Idhayam' is the next number. The lyrics are quite touching and bring out ‘the Robot with emotions’ angle. ARR has sung the song himself, and as always, arouses our emotions with finesse. You can’t miss the female voice singing 'Super Sonic Super Star' from time to time in the background. Once she even calls him 'Robotic Hypnotic Super Star!' The song has a heavy dose of quirky English lyrics and to top it all , we have a medium-pace rap from Kash 'n' Krissy that kind of grows on you.

What follows the heavily westernized number is the theme music, titled 'Chitti Dance Showcase', a very techno, speedy theme. It starts off with few lines of rap in English and quickly converts into quick-paced classical notes sung to heavy western percussion, a very interesting piece repeated a few times in the composition. The song has a heavy dose of electric drums; when the drums fall silent, they are replaced by a serene violin orchestra with a divine harmony.
'Arima Arima' opens with the royal rhythm of drums, like it’s marking the entry of an Emperor, in this case, Endhiran. While the chorus chants his praises, calling him even the Silicon Singam, there is a tinge of pain in the voice of Sadhana Sargam. The thuds of the drums continue all through the number, with Endhiran sounding every bit the tough guy in the voice of Hariharan. This majestic composition has a shade of melancholy, bringing out the contrast in the psychological mindsets of the characters.

While all these songs have an obvious attachment to techno beats and futuristic rhythms, the next song 'Kilimanjaro' is completely removed from these moods. Tribal beats and tribal chanting persist throughout the number without the slightest mention of Endhiran or anything robotic throughout. The lyrics are on the sensual side. The sound of the drums overpowers all other instruments in this number sung by Javed Ali and Chinmayi.
'Boom Boom Robot-da' is the last number in the album. This fully techno, upbeat number (sung by Krithi Sagathia, Swetha Mohan and Tanvi Shah, interspersed with Tamil rap from Yogi B) is a mish-mash of fast techno sounds and a moderately pacey tune. The lyrics reiterate the greatness of the robot and the unimaginable avenues it opens up for the development of humanity.

Asif grabs lead role in Malayalam movie!

LAHORE – Pakistani fast bowler Mohammed Asif will make his film debut with a Malayalam film, directed by renowned lyricist Kaithapram Damodaran Namboodiri, it was learnt here on Wednesday. The shooting of the movie titled “Mazhavillinnattamvare” (till the tip of the rainbow) is scheduled to begin in North Kerala in September.

According to an Indian news agency, the movie is also the directorial debut of Kaithapram, who has written hundreds of songs, winning several national and state awards. 
“Asif is now busy playing cricket in England. He will be free by September to begin shooting in Kannur in north Kerala,” Kaithapram said.

“The film starts with Asif coming to a cricket camp in Kannur as a coach. When he travels from Lahore to Kerala, he has a personal mission too. The film will progress through his journey to his goal,” Kaithapram said. Besides direction, the story is also written by Kaithpram who will be doing the script and lyrics as well. There would be five songs and a ghazal, the mixing of which will be done in a theatre in London. The songs would be sung by top Indian singers like K J Yesudas, Udit Narayan, Sankar Mahadevan, K S Chitra, Deepankuran and Shreya Ghoshal. The film is being produced by a Sharjah-based entrepreneur M Mukundan, who hails from Kannur, under the banner of ‘Valluvankadavu Recreations’.

Life’s a song for Shreya!

At 26, she’s already one of the leading playback singers of the country and her four national awards prove that there’s no fluke in it. In the city for her first public concert, Shreya Ghoshal talks about her journey from a Bengali girl-next-door to Bollywood’s music sensation.


The singer who catapulted into the limelight when she won the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contest naturally favours reality shows. “These shows are not just talent hunts. They are TV programmes too and hence are packaged with masala and emotional content. While the SMS system may not necessarily recognise the most talented participant, the exposure with millions watching one performing on TV for so long is always there. A lot of contestants are doing concerts, if not singing in films or recording for private albums. Success comes to everyone who makes it to these TV shows,” she says.


Shreya feels that she has a long way to go and a lot more to achieve. “National awards are the most prestigious awards for an Indian artiste and I never expected to get them as I never sang for awards. I want to create ground-breaking music. People should remember me for my work.”


Shreya goes on to inform that she is toying with the idea of coming out with a non-film private album. “Every playback singer should do non-film songs or an album. The problem is that unlike earlier, there are very few non-film music producers these days. I think one has to devise a creative way to promote non-film music.”


She has, in fact, a day dedicated to her in the US state of Ohio and that puts her right next to Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore. “It was a surprise to be bestowed with the honour of June 26 being declared as Shreya Ghoshal Day in Ohio,” she says.


The singer made her debut in Tollywood with Nuvvemmaya Chesavo in Okkadu and says she’s loves the city for various reasons. “I’ve done plenty of Telugu songs and loved working with composers like Devi Sri Prasad, Radha Krishna and others. I also hope to meet one of my favourite composers, M.M. Keeravani. I also feel that the Hyderabadi audience make artistes feel loved. Also, I love Hyderabadi biryani!”
