Thuli Thuli - From Paiyaa

Hi Friends,

Am sure this song needs no formal introduction… :D A well known song and am sure a favorite of almost all… Such is the magic of this song…




This is not a song for my kind of voice to be honest… But I am just trying it out of sheer love for this song… I mainly tried this song, as it is a learning experience in many aspects… One is the voice modulation… I have tried to modulate my voice, in order to suit the mood of the song… Hope I have been able to do it pretty decently… :)

Second thing is the use of the head voice… When singing the higher notes, we need to try using the falsetto… Need to use the head voice for this… I have practiced and tried this… However, I am not too sure how sucessful I have been… Please listen to this and let me know… I had to record this higher notes seperately owing to the issues with my voice… Rest of the song has been recorded at a stretch… :)

Hi Friends,

Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa! I have been thinking of uploading a song as an offering to the Lord since some time. Was unable to record anything during the Makaravilakku season in January.

Here is my humble effort in attempting this wonderful song sung by the great Dr. KJY. This is a song which is very close to my heart.

This song also happens to be one of my mother’s most favourite! So Amma, this goes for you!

Manju Pole - Dosth

Hi Friends!

It has been very long since I have been thinking of covering this wonderful melody by Vidyasagar… This is one song which has been really close to me… To be honest, when this movie released I used to hate this song for some reason… Years later I happened to listen to this song forcibly when I was travelling in a bus… Since that day this song has been very close to my heart!





Another thing which I love about this song is that it has been sung by Sreenivas, who has such a wonderful voice and some great subtle modulations that he can add to any of his melodies! Love this song…

Oru Poomaram - Malayalam Self Composition

Hi...

This was my maiden venture into composing... Always loved to sing soft soothing songs, may it be film songs or original compositions..

This song was written by my friend Sindhu Nair, whom I met on Orkut.. She writes lovely poems, with a nostalgic touch.. I loved this poem of hers as soon as I read it on the "Malayalam Kavidhakal" community in Orkut.. Was craving to get this poem composed as a song..



Song: Oru Poomaram...
Genre: Soul
Music: Prathap Sounderraj
Singer: Sushanth Shankar
Lyrics: Sindhu Nair
Studio: Deepam Studios

This is when I met my friend Prathap who was my senior at the BMS College of Engg and was also the lead of the Indian Music Team at college.. I met Prathap after about 4 years and was thrilled to know that he could make the arrangements to work on this song and get it recorded!!! Prathap is a wonderful multi-talented musician, who plays the keyboard, guitar, mouth organ and what not!! Finally, both of us met up one Saturday afternoon and worked on composing this song..

Trust me, with the help of his easy flowing soothing chords, we had no difficulty in coming up with the tune of the song! Ideas just kept flowing like river water! To say the least, the song was complete in a matter of 2 hours!!! :)

Prathap.. I have always admired him as a wonderful musician and also a very sweet person at heart! Enjoyed working with him on this song!!

Here, I present you the outcome of the combined effort of the 3 of us! This is a short video clip I made using some of the pictures I clicked on my mobile phone! Apologies for the lack of clarity of the images.. Hope you all like it..

Pazham Thamizh Paatu - Manichitrathaazhu (Cover) by Sushanth

Hi Friends,

Here I present before you an all time favourite of mine! This song is from the movie "Manichitrathaazhu", a Mohanlal starrer.. This was a blockbuster back in the 90's. This movie went on to be re-made in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and also in Hindi. However, many who have watched the original still liked the original version of the movie.



This movie had some wonderful songs, scored by the great composer Sri M.G. Radhakrishnan and the lyrics penned by Sri Bichu Thirumala.. These songs are still remembered & cherished by most of the people.
