etho januvary maasam
manassiloreeran niramizhi pole
oru kaikumbilil naru venpoovumaay
ithal nerthorormayaay vannu nee (etho januvary)

Annunin nizhalpolumen

viralthedunna swaramellam kettu ninnu
oru manisalabham swayam- urukumor-uyiril

manassiloreeran niramizhi pole (Etho Januvary)

Annunin chiripolumen

pinne njan sruthiyayi nin
mozhimoolunna paattellaam ettupaadi
iniyoru nimisham
malaraniyum-orushassil
pularkaala sooryanay virinjidaam (etho januvary…)

Idhu Varai (cover version) with George Kuruvilla

Lovely song from the movie Goa. George has given a totally different dimension to the soft version of the original, which I was so looking for. So, thanks for that George, absolutely lovely vocals and improvs all the way.

Kaatrin Mozhi (cover version) from Mozhi

After trying stints with songs like Allegra, thought I would attempt a song with refined vocals again :P

Probably my most favorite of Vidyasagar’s to date. Beautiful song, excellent singing (Balram especially), and just lovely lyrics.

Words aren’t necessary to express your feelings to people whom you love, and cherish, and this song is a fine example of just that.

Hope you all enjoy the cover, and thanks for mixing this, George :)

Vaseegara from Minnale with arrangement by JaySwami

I thought I was all done with this song, but after 9 long years I suddenly had the urge to sing it again. And, Jay- your track is the culprit, thanks!
Liked the tone of Jayashree’s voice in this, and that’s about all I can say :-)

Nadhiyil aadum ( cover version ) with Raj

This cover has been pending for a really long time, and is one of my favourite numbers of Ilayaraaja. Guess this is one of the many movies of IL, where despite the movie being a big time flop, the audio cassettes sold by the thousands.

And, it’s a pleasure to have collaborated with Raj for this number. After a very long time, I am seeing someone who despite being untrained in any form of music sings absolutely effortlessly. Thanks Raj, it was good fun singing this with you.

The initial part until the pallavi/start of the song is from the original sound track. Also the k track has a click sound coming thru’out. Sorry about that!

Iktaara (wake up sid) with George Kuruvilla and arrangement by Anil.B.S

A song which I have fallen in love with, in recent times.

There are very few songs which Manohar, my better half enjoys quite a bit, and this happens to be one of them. Today marks our 11th year wedding anniversary, and this goes out to him.

Anil- Thank you! I wouldn’t be posting this today without your beautiful recreation, absolutely loved the track!

And, George- you completed what I started, and your vocals & mix makes all the difference to this cover :-) Thank you!

Naan Sirithaal ( cover version ) with Adithi Devarajan

This number is from Nayagan, probably one of the best movies of Kamal, and of Manirathnam’s probably.

To give a little background to those who aren’t familiar with the song, the song takes place in a brothel in Bombay/Dharavi area, and IR roped in 2 very popular singers of yesteryear’sTamizh film music- Jamuna Rani & M.S.Rajeswari ( the child like voice ). This song became popular back then, since it used old time instruments (andha kaalatthu baani types:-) which is very evident from the tones/style of the BGM’s.

My first time collaborating with Adithi Devarajan, and was such fun, and an absolute pleasure working with her! Here’s looking forward to more duets in the future.

And this song goes out to Raj, who requested that we try this out. And, here's wishing all listeners a very happy Sankaranthi/Pongal ( a little belated though :)

Gems of Ilayaraaja- Sangathil Padaadha (cover version) with Sriram Srinivasan

I think every Ilayaraaja fan out there would definitely know and love this song. Inspite of a pathetic picturisation , and definitely not to mention pathetic people being starred in the original, this song is an anthem of sorts. The malayalam version of this is a show stopper as well.

The Tamizh version differs quite a bit from the Malayalam one, being a duet and romantic theme being a couple. I worked in re-arranging the track a little bit so it would fit the tamizh bill, so to speak :)

Sriram Srinivasan has lent the male vocals for this one, and I personally wanted a non-IL clone to sing this, and thought Sriram would bring a different flavour to this one. Thanks Sriram— my first collaboration with you and it was really fun :-)

Sriram passed me a link on this song which made an interesting read. Please do check it out if you are interested
