Anandha Dhagam

As I was sifting through songs in Smule yesterday late evening, I stumbled upon this rare gem. A product of Shyam (Music Director) & Vairamuthu from the film Vaa Indha Pakkam.

This forgotten 1983 movie had some interesting and melodious and songs. Originally sung by Deepan Chakravarthy & S.Janaki in Tamil, I believe this song might have been produced in Kannada as well. The theme of the song depicts the feelings of a newly married couple living in a joint family. The lyrics are brilliant wherein the struggles of the heroine including her shyness to mingle with her husband while living in a joint family situation is just apt for that generation and time.

I saw this song in Smule and was originally posted by Ramya Duraiswamy, felt it was a good track to add my voice to it. I enjoyed singing and hope you like it as well.

Tum Bin Jaun Kahana...

Aate Jaate - Maine Pyar Kiya

As we are fast approaching Valentine's Day (Kadhalargal Dhinam) I was thinking of doing something special, but before I could get there, I stumbled upon this track in Smule and thought of giving you a teaser before we get to the special item.

Back at my youthful days this was such a super hit SPB number which sort of became the anthem for all love birds including myself. Though this song from Maine Pyar Kiya was wasted as a title song, it became a forceful hit due to SPB's soulful delivery.

I loved singing it, hope you like it as well.

Naan Pogiren Mele Mele

After a hiatus period of almost 1 year, I am back posting in this blog. It has been crazy busy at my end with very little time to pursue my karaoke blog passion. In the meantime, I found this new tool called "Smule" which is a very interesting & novel way of bringing global talent to global audience. It is something like Social Karaoke blogging. Very refreshing to notice that some wonderful talent out there is getting a global platform to showcase their singing skills.

While I operate under the pseudo name "Usindians" in Smule, I make some karaoke there on a selective basis. One of the singers (Ramya Duraiswamy) I admire in Smule had put out this number "Naan Pogiren Mele Mele" from the film Naanayam, composed by James Vasanthan. A feel good song with a lot of resemblence to another AR Rehman's number Poovukul Olindhirukum from the film Jean.

Regardless, this song originally sung by Chitra & SPB is a simple melodious song. Hope you enjoy this song and record here your constructive comments.

O Butterfly Butterfly...

This next song is a wonderful, melodies number composed by Ilayaraja for the movie Meera. Very waltzy number. This ever green song was a super hit number at the time this was released. I really loved it and enjoyed singing as well.

Originally sung by SPB and Lata Mangeshkar, I have sung this as a solo.

Thoda Thoda Malarndhadhena

I definitely realize my karaoke blogs have become far from few. Past few months have been extremely busy both professionally and personally, haven't had a chance to attend to this pet project. But that said, recently sat with my friend Thulsi (an accomplished keyboardist) and we came up with this cover remix. We really set out on a different agenda but ended up with this brief recording in his studio. Hope you like this.

Originally sung by SPB and composed by AR Rehman
