Munbe Vaa ( cover version ) with Karthik Nagarajan

Munbe Vaa ( cover version )... Lyrics & Chords

Been more than a year since I have had this song on my list, fervently searching for that voice which would re-create the magic that Naresh Iyer weaved when it released. And, I was fortunate enough to find Karthik Nagarajan, thanks to Sindhuja :-)

To me, this song is probably one of the best romantic melodies ever done by ARR, ofcourse not to mention Surya being featured :P. Was quite a different song to try since it had equal portions that required delicate and open throated singing.

Thanks Karthik, it was really fun working with you, and here’s to more collaborations!

Movie: Sillunu Oru Kaadhal
Originally sung by: Naresh Iyer & Shreya Ghosal
Original music by: ARR
Cover version by: Karthik Nagarajan & Meera Manohar
Female Backing vocals : Meera Manohar
Male backing harmonies: Karthik Nagarajan
Mixed by: Meera Manohar

Karthik = Naresh :-)
Meera is splendid as ever.
Song sounds just like the original.

Sounded a bit like Meera was trying too hard to reach the scale (that might just be my perception)

My favorite!

Great cover guys!!
Meera – Your mix sounded different than usual, I like the usual one, probably you changed since its a duet. Very nice singing as always. Some places you sounded classical, say en anbe vaa. Humming in between was slightly pitchy in the beginning n ending.
Karthik – Superb singing. Lovely harmonies.

Meeraji – Suma athirathu ille :-) It was fantabulous. Immense feel, crystal clear pronounciation of words. Confident singing, tough to differentiate with the original. Technically I have no clue. But as a layman audience, it was sooothing….

Karthikji – Start felt a bit shaky, but then you caught on. You have superb romantic voice and very nice rendition….

Rahul

Wow Meera Ji…… What a wonderful singing…. liked the open throatedness…. The tune of the song is really fantastic…. The Chorus was also excellect both in your part & Karthik Ji’s part…. Karthik Ji sang equally well…. I liked the part where the jumps to a higher note Aaaaa…. Very well done…. Round pickups are always difficult than straight jumps…. Haven’t much from Karthik Ji except I guess Ore Piya was one of his songs which I was stunned after hearing it…. Brilliant work…. 5/5 & goes to my fav.

Shampak.

the carnatic music influence was very pronunced, you might want to give a much softer feel to this song.
it also sounded like you had issues with the scale of the song itself. the strain in your voice showed in the song

karthik , very melodious voice … i liked the small harmony pieces as well

Truly a pro performance Meera! What a feel….Just loved it. I felt your voice had a little bit of “kreech” feel. Not sure why this happens to some of your songs. Please refer to my comments to your “vande mataram” song.

Karthik,
I am glad to see you active here. You are such a gifted singer. Keep it up!

This rendition is form a VERY powerful combo. I got more than what I expected. Obviously a 5/5!

Adithi said

This is one of those very few songs of yours, Meera, that didn’t do the magic for me. Totally agree with Ramya on certain places sounding very classical. Couldn’t enjoy the humming very much due to the same classical touch.

The nicety of the song is the silky, soothing flow of Shreya’s voice. She sings all those difficult nuances with such a casual flair that is almost inimitable. Nevertheless a good try….

Karthik
Absolutely thrilled to hear your voice. Looking forward to hearing more songs from you.

George Kuruvilla Pro user said

Meera,
Brave attempt since this is one of the anthems of recent times. To me, this is one of my favorite covers of yours for a couple of reasons:

- I loved the expressions
- The range is not a perfect fit for you and you still made it work (except for one portion)

As always, I have some pointers too… I understand that you have a carnatic music background and its bound to show in your covers, but I think towards the end you overdid it. I already mentioned the slight pitch issues (2:30-33)

Kartik – You’ve sung well too. However I would have eq’d your voice a lil different. It needs to be thinner and sharper for this song. I also felt a few pitch issues (one being 3:34-3:48 or so)

Good job overall guys. 5/5 from me
