Narumugaye - by Kumar Srinivasan and Tara Balki

Kumaran said

One of my favorites in Tamil. This is the best that I have heard of you, Kumar!!!! This was very professionally rendered by both of you. Tara’s voice was very close to BJ. Amazing work!!!! Looking forward for more such performances from you both :-)

Excellent singing guys!! This is my favorite song from Iruvar. Kumar, there a few timing issues here n there… not sure if it is an issue with the karaoke track itself. Tara, I am a fan of urs. /This performance was as good as ever. However if i was to nitpick, I feel the last para could have been a little tighter. Overall, 5/5 from me!
-George

Do listen to Kabhi Kabhi Aditi, Koi Nahin and Ek Ladki Hai

Excellent rendition by both of you…. Could not have been better in my opinion… As I am not too familiar with the song cant make a comment on the finer nuances….But felt too good.

All the best…

congrats for choosing this song first of all….
Kumar: A lot of places…u could have sung subtly…Though this is a classical song…It definitely requires some places to be sung subtly.am sure u will agree…especially sembulam serndha neer thuli pol anbudai nenjam kalandhadhenna……
Slighttttt focus on shruthi wud make it better…and ya…this sounded like yesudas’ version of the song:)
Tara: Nice voice:)….i felt the landing notes should be sustained…its kind of abrupt…the breathing was very prominent…dunno if this is a mixing issue….

a little more practise am sure cud have made it perfect.

the first para was nice…nice blend of voices….Good attempt…:)

One of my favourite classical numbers by Rahman….

Kumar your voice was pretty good and it sounded trained. At some places your volume levels were high, and I can hear Tara’s breathing through out the song, you did an awesome job in mixing this song. Both of you were wonderful in catchin the nuances of this song. Keep up the good work.

What a rendition by you both !

Kumar – a very correct rendition except for the nasality in tone and a little excessive vibrato in the ending line. There is nothing one can point out as wrong at all. Very well done !

Tara:

You are an artist who should be counted in the professional league. It is only by a stroke of fortune that we have you around us. Absolutely beautiful tone, emotions and awesome singing. You are one of my most favorite singers.

Hi Kumar srinivasan, you have all the fine points grasped about this song…but I think you are a bit paranoid about that 90 bpm tempo and so much happening on the rythm section. So for me in this song you are a bit on a hurrying up all that sangathees and dropped the cool relaxed feel of the song , you slightly deviated to deliver that feel. But it only takes couple of intense rehearse before a punch in and rec. Let the song just flow as its on a take. Also here is a hint try to sing the female part in mind like muted and just unmute yourself during male part… Or if you punch in record by part by part please try to record from 5 bars before the needed record point …which will give you nice sweet spot as your throat have eased up by you reach 5th bar. overall excellent effort,good singers, daring selection ….bit paranoid about orchestration and rythm section. Kumar please let me know if I am wrong. thanks, Maruthi

Hi Kumar and Tara: Great singing. Really liked it. Lot of clarity in Tara’s voice. Suits this song so much. Keep up the good work tara.

Kumar: In the beginning I felt a little delay in the pallavi, but later it sounds much better. Otherwise, your voice is perfect for the song.

HI Kumar,
awesome song and awesome singing….as someone has said u were a little delayed in the beginning….but perfect on the whole…

intially i thought only the male voice is being recorded and the female voice is from the song…i am still not able to beleive that it is tara’s .Mind blowing……

Very nice rendition, both of you! Kumar’s tempo seemed to be a little inconsistent. Seemed to rush a little in the beginning.
Tara, this is the first heavily classical song I’m hearing from you. Would have preferred an even stronger carnatic touch to this :) Especially the lines ore oru theendal…. seem a little flat. As always, voice flows like honey :)

Best

:) Dunno how I missed this song for so long, thank you Kumar for the link….:D
Superb voices, Tara and Kumar! And Tara, your vocal tone matches BJs to a very Wow’ing extent, increasing the charm…
Both your singing were very nice, and most of the details were captured well…
But this track has a problem, its tempo and scale being much faster and higher resp. than the original song…because of that factor, both your singing feels a little hurried. And again due to the same factor, the beauty of the various intricate sangathis feel a bit tarnished…Kumar, in the pallavi there also seemed to be slight timing issues…
Kumar, is it possible still to pan this to a slower tempo without affecting the final effect? Would give this very rendition the missing magic…
liked it a lot!
cheers
