Vennila Vennila


Vennila Vennila | Upload Music

Composer: A R Rahman
Original Vocalist: Asha Bhosle
Movie: Iruvar
Karoke Track: Self-made

So I realised this fine morning that my laptop does not have a proper built-in external mic jack, which means all the recording that I have been doing is sub-standard not because my mic is not good, but because my laptop is faulty.

This is the first time I have done a proper recording w/o any noise. 0 noise! I am still trying to figure out ways to optimise mixing in this newly discovered setup, so do bear with me.

This is probably the most tastefully done song (in terms of the music of course, but the video is the highlight) of the 90s and believed to be the foray of Indian music into jazz proper.

Loved doing this one :)

Ninnukkori Varnam


Ninnukkori Varnam | Upload Music

Composer: Illayaraja
Original Vocalist: Chitra
Movie: Agni Natchathiram
Karaoke Track: esnips.com

This is one of my favorites from the 80s. Every time I listen to it, I am struck by how Chitra sings every note with amazing ease and vitality. It was so much fun doing this number!
