Gems of Ilayaraaja - Kannale Kaadhal (cover version) with Pradip Somasundaran
Gems of Ilayaraaja - Kannal... Lyrics & Chords
My family is visiting me from Desh and have been traveling extensively these past 5 weeks, hopping from a car to a train to long security lines at airports. Hence the lull in recording, posting and commenting on felllow muzibians renditions. Many thanks for all your scribbles and reminders about the songs that were posted and didn’t get a comment from me LOL Hopefully, will catch up real soon :-)
Here’s continuing the resurrecting Ilayaraaja series with yet another beautiful number from his stable.
This was recorded almost 3 years ago, and was my first collaboration with Pradip who was already an established audioblogger, not to mention an excellent vocalist.
So, here it is for your ears and hope you all enjoy our interpretation of this number.
Movie: Aatma
Original music by: Ilayaraaja
Sung by: KJY & S.Janaki
Cover version by: Pradip Somasundaran & Meera Manohar

Meeraji,
Felt you were a bit off in singing wise. But you both compliment each other so well. I liked the duet was a treat to my ears.

it is seriously hard to believe that this is not the original.Pradip is so stunning in picking up every audible intricacy including the very subtle vibrato in KJY’S-In addition he has brought about a major change in his voice to suit this rendition-Sheer Magic.
Meera :you are also as brilliant as usual-Over all fantastic cover.
Request for the duo:If you can get this track,“Veeniyadi Nee enakku”Can you do it please?That will be stunning!!
Regards,
Subbu.

Meera & Pradip,
Heard this song long long time ago and may a couple of times. A very nice song and ofcourse very nicely done by both of you.
I have always liked Pradip’s renditions and meera – no need to say how much i love your voice. I always keep telling you that.
As someone said when 2 great singers come together….nothing like it. it was a treat.
Check out my first song here

Late entry by me! … playing through my studio monitors right now. Awfully sweet both of you and loved it. Meera your voice was best in this I felt. Pradip sounded very good and loved it very much. Heard it replaying it quite a number of times. Meera your vocal could have been a tad higher to match Pradip (in charanams I felt).
What a melody! … loved you guys singing it.
Music Vaazhga, Neenga Valarga!.
