[V_S]

cha! oru Raaja album vaangarthukku ennavellaam paNNa vEndiyirukku. Got hold off one of my offshore guy giving the flipkart link. Opened a screen sharing session, asked him to checkout the songs and buy and then asked him to put into shared drive and took it from there. Will listen in the evening.

As the name aptly states, 'raaja' gopuram is really it is. Why Vijay Yesudas is not singing nowadays much in Thamizh? I loved his singing in this one. We only have to go with Karthik (for melodies), sometimes his voice looks so monotonous to me. Leaving that aside, this composition is a bright one shining throughout. I don't know what instrument that is (I think it is a veena kind of sound from synth), which adds to every line of pallavi, very seducing. Oru inam puriyaatha mayakkam ithai kEkkum pOthu. What a beautiful sound that is and how beautifully played! These are the small details which captures our heart right from the first hearing. Same way the anu-pallavi ending where he tapers down the tune till that echo, I am lost with words there. I could not go beyond this atleast now.
