Usually i dont see any singer going technically wrong under the baton of raaja. <br /><br />Naan Kadavul song is a landmark composition and it still forms as one of my reference points to identify Rasikapriya.<br /><br />Please continue to write more about his lesser known songs.

Also, the first interlude is enough to prove that the ilaiyaraaja of 80s, which many admire is very much alive and is only presenting himself in new robes. same ideas. Just that the rhythm backdrop is little different, to suit the contemporary scheme of things.<br /><br />I like Aakarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943886586244410709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4485373199416659524.post-11622585930692661722010-10-18T21:09:50.669+05:302010-10-18T21:09:50.669+05:30Hi Dagalti,

Wonderful rendition by SPB and Bela. Nice to see you write about the song. A song just drips honey. So your honey reference of Kambar is perfectly apt :)Suresh Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775860840384645432noreply@blogger.com
