Nice one guyz!

Good sound recording…. nice and peppy beat… perhaps you could have used real instruments or used tools to make it sound more real-time….

Subbu said

Hi Balu….nice peppy number with a 90’s kinda feel…I could imagine Revathi or Radha running around trees and lawns:)

nice dedication to a lucky sister,nice singing!

Nicely arranged with bass and synths….Neat and excellent sound.the ending guitar synth solo is panned to the right….was it intentional ?
5/5 ,

thanks an keep them coming….how many more to complete your home album?
Regards,
Subbu.

A typical ilayaraja composition,hahaha.Brilliant co
mposition bala.Enjoyed it a lot.Agree with subbu,fe
lt like the heroines running around trees or an in
tro song,lol.u r a great composer man.

singing wise rashmi asusual great singing,slight ch
itra touch.Expressions were great rashmi,except the wor
d ‘vaanavillai valaithu’.Its ‘vaLaithu’ and not ’
valaithu’.

kudos to both.keep them coming.5/5 and goes to my
favs.

Tune is similar to one song. movie ‘mounam sammadh
am’and i dont remember the lyrics.mammooty meets
amala for the first time in the movie flashback.

Bala – very nice work on the composition and arrangement. Sorry, cant comment on the lyrics -but what i did make out sounded very apt for the theme. The ending was a treat.

Rashmi – sweet rendition from you, as usual.

Original comps leave me stumped and this is no exception. Great work, both! 5.

Rashmi Nair said

Thanks a lot friends, happy to know you liked it. Please feel free to nitpick and point out even the slightest off pitchs or diction issues. We surely want to make the song as perfect as possible! Thanks a lot Bala for giving me this oppotunity.

George Kuruvilla said

Nice job team…Bala, liked the composition and arrangement…I would probably have used less reverb on Rashmi’s voice for this though.

Rashmi your singing was effortless as others have pointed out….

Since you asked us to nitpick, I found a few minor pitch issues (“ketal” being an example), but its very very minor. I also felt in terms of scale, this is not your sweet spot. You sound best at a higer range. Thats where you are most expressive.

Maruthi said

Good thought balu……It was nice ….that finishing line is sounding like “yetho yetho yetho ondru unnai ketpaen” ……I second georges comment on pitches and reverbs……

coming to the creative part……the mood of the song is serious and very lonely person druling in a tough situation. But the lyrics were in contrast….and rashmis vocals were not helping it because of that missing bubblyness and bounce rythmic like in 3:16"manam urugum neram " has a good bounce in rythmic fashion ….this bounce should be present in "thanae thanthanae " to complment te mood, without it the song embraces its compositions mood as described above.

orchestration is nice but super squeaky clean cause of soft synth……or everything in digital mode….this is where a valve compressor kicks in….to make it more pleasant and sweet. or a sensible eq can do that trick in a track like this not everything needs to be bright and sharp I only learnt this in recent time and I am passing it to you for your good.

There is a free plugins called “sonicbirth” you can google and download for free for ever. In that bunch there is a plugin called valvewarmer in sonicbirth use this on your final mix gently and hear how the music is binding well.

A good subbass track will also make the track sound round and balanced……try thinking enginering when laying tracks and mixing then you will have very little on engineering part …….already these day we dont have the hassle of micing an instrument etc.

one last trick on composition is the melodic content of the song itself it is like an important story line of a movie.

keep the good work up,

Maruthi

Kumaran said

Balu

Great work, enjoyed it very much.
The song supposed to energy and bubbly but to me it sounded little sad, may be becoz of minor chord progs underlying the melody?

Cheers to your for brining in more original compositions.
Looking forward to hear more from you.

Ganesh

Agree with some upstaris, felt like listening to a composition by Ilayaraja.

Beautiful team work guys, liked the composition Bala, Rashmi’s voice sounded effortless, I like the orchestration too.

Great job guys, keep them coming.

Pamala said

I love hearing songs I wouldn’t normally hear. The singing is sweet and pure. All the comments are so interesting. Good work Balamurali. Thank you for making the friend connection so I know when you post!

Prem Abraham said

I’m impressed.

Well harmonized and excellent singing. Needs a little more dynamics to bring out the feel. As Maruthi mentioned needs a mix down as well.

I think Rashmi has the most number of originals in Muziboo, is that correct ?.

keep it up guys.

Muziboo Designers : Can we pls. have an icon for originals, so that it stands out ?.

Harshan (away) Nambiar said

Very nice composition and lovely singing by Rashmi. Just one obervation, just felt that there could have been some variations in the anthras ….but otherwise this was pretty good.

Murali Venkatraman said

For a 512 mb mac, what you have achieved is really excellent. IR is a giant whose shadow is difficult to get out of. Your chord progressions were very reminiscent of vintage IR (of course karpoora mullai ondru song).

Lyrics are pretty nice although they are a bit of a mixed bag. Lines like paniththuLiyil bimbam paarrpEn are very nice. However, thaan thandhaanE type fillers do not sound very convincing. Also, a strong adherence to rhyme is not encouraged at the expense of imagination.

I found Rashmi’s singing a little less energetic than what the song required although her tone as always is sweet.

Mohan Lal said

Balamurali Balu,
Excellent work. Beautiful lyrics , melodious music and nice arrangement. Now a days we don’t get chance to listen to such melodies especially from Tamil music. In 80’s Ilayaraja had created a diff trend. Fortunately, in Malayalam still he is active.

Talking about your composition, I liked the interludes. In the anupallavi and charanams- the effects of guitar were really good.

Rashmiji,

Wonderful rendition. You sound like chinnakuyil chitra in the earlier days.

Thoroughly enjoyed this fresh music.

regards

Mohan

Hi Bala…. Superb Composition, brilliant arrangement! Rashmi’s voice is so sweet. But I felt she could have tried bit more expressive singing. I felt a bit energy level is needed for this type of song. And could have sung with a bit open throat that controlled voice. Just my humble view,as a layman… Please excuse if I am wrong!

Altogether Great team work !

GurubhyoNamah!

Sushanth Shankar said

Hi Balu!

Lovely composition… :) Awesome singing by Rashmi as always! Great harmonics at the end!! Lovely…. Great work guys!

Only thing I felt that could have been improved if the edition of breathe from the track as much as possible…. Rest was great!

Really liked it…. All the very best! :)

I have the rare occasion to listen original music,to see young composer’s hard working and to read so valuable comments!Loved this song but as I am not really a musician my feed back is just of an ordinary listener:arrangement is good,song keeps attention to the end but there are places where something is missing!Rashmi.loved your singing (as usual)!But ,as George said,would sounded better in a higher scale!Sorry if I am wrong!
