One song whose prelude alone can give goosebumps, one song which is such a magnificent combination of intelligence and aesthetics, one song I can never tire listening to.
(If there's something I don't like about this song, its probably the lyrics and the visuals - but the music more than makes up for both of these!)
I've collaborated on this song - for the first time - with Vivek Mahadevan. I think he's done a beautiful job of this! It was a pleasure working with him. And as many of you may know, he's getting married very soon! So Vivek, here's wishing you and your wife-to-be a very happy married life and the best of everything! :)
A little about the mix: the k-track is something I created by a simple voice-removal from the original and I was pleasantly surprised to hear the result - I thought it wasn't bad at all, for a voice-cut track! However, it can never equal a properly made karaoke in quality, and that in turn has a bearing on the effects we use for the voices as well, so as to make them blend with the track. Vivek and me have tried our best in making this sound reasonably good. Let us know what you thought!

Thanks so much Sindhuja ...
For the wishes, and also your encouragement. It was awesome singing with you ! Looking forward to better them in the future...
Cheers
Beautifully sung both! Very gud expressions! Nice to listen to Vivek after a while. 'Aakasavaani' line n the following line were beautiful vivek. Sindhu, ending 'anbe' was delectable.
Enjoyed!!
Felt thr was sum strain n fractional offs in higher portions like 'Singara vela' n 'vaa'in charanam, it cud hv been better. Guess there were sum latency issues in the ending pallavi.
Sindhu, Vivek..Brilliant singing! Sindhu..am such a fan of ur voice! :) Love it!!!
Sindhuja & Vivek!!!
Gambeera naattai in all its glory :)
Vivek- that was excellently done, very refined sangathis at most places :)
Sindhuja-crystal clear vocals, awesome job. 1st time Vela and thirandhida'vaa' was a little off barring which... delectable!
And, congratulations to you Vivek-- best wishes!
Nice rendition. Two of the most admired voices in audio-blogging vertical collaborating to deliver the best... Sindhuja!!! it has always been a pleasure listening to your renditions... Vivek!!! Hope by this time(4:40pm/11.02.2010)you are married. Congratulations and my best wishes. God bless you both...
Vivek: Look forward to working with you again too. Hope you had a blast at your wedding :)
Ramya, Vidyu, Meera and Raj: Thanks very much for your comments and observations.
Beautiful rendition. Was it sung while listening to the instrumental track.. if so, it must be difficult,.. because the thaalam of this song is pretty peculiar. I always tried to comprehend how the rhythm cycle has been brought to a crescendo at the end of every charanam. Thats the genius of ilaiyaraaja may be.
But brilliant rendition.
I happen to listen to Azhaithathu Yaaro, a brilliant composition and wonderful rendition. Definitely a fullfledged string orchestra was missing in it. If only..
but beautiful rendition.
Even that Hindi song Khoye Khoye is amazing.
Akarsh: yes, I sang innum ennai (like any other cover song) while listening to the track. Thanks very much for the nice words!
And azhaiththadhu is a song I immensely enjoyed singing. Yeah, a full fledged orchestra might have added to the grandeur! Thanks again for your appreciation - all the credit should go to the composer (Vijay S) and arranger (Vijay N). I only executed :)
And glad you liked Khoye Khoye as well- again, credit should go to Anup.
very good job, both of you! first time I am listening to Vivek Mahadevan. Sindhu, remember, in the original the female voice goes outa Shruti in one place in "kandaal"...? why didn't you reproduce that? LOL!
Nice singing :-)
Nice performance Sindhuja and vivek! fantastic song selection and great job in creating the karaoke :)
