Raj Kumar Anjan - Maalai Yen Vaethanai from Sethu
Raj Kumar Anjan - Maalai Ye... Lyrics & Chords
‘Akilan’ should have given a break to Vikram… ‘Sethu’ was first titled as ‘Akilan’ by Bala which eventually got dropped after the initial announcement… That frustration would definitely have manipulated some of his in-born attributes, sowing the seeds of his futuristic victories… An artiste should never succumb to any materialistic pressure or get cornered whatsoever the conditions are, without telling what he originally intends… Such a fabulous and valiant creator, he is, after Balachander… His movies ‘Sethu’, ‘Nanda’, ‘Pithamagan’ and ‘Naan Kadavul’ substantiate his shrewdness as a director… I still wonder how this introvert etches such classic creations… And ‘Sethu’ is one of the best movies of the past decade… Though he resorts to tragic ends in all his movies, the climaxes set in his movies never failed to bring the desired impact…
All the songs in this movie are evergreen and this number, ‘Maalai yen vedhanai’ by Unnikrishnan is very nigh to guys as the lyrics ratifies the feel of a lover after he falls for someone… Vishnu has ripped the voice of Unni from the original track but could hear traces of his voice through-out the song… So I have infused additional reverb effects in the mix after rendering with a non-compliant, rusty throat… Trying my best to get the rhythm back… Hope I have not impaired the beauty of this composition… :-)

:))) Welcome to the Unni-stage, hope you enjoy tremendous success and satisfaction in it…. :))
Good choice, and I am now getting tired of repeating myself – beautifully rendered.
Just saw Vishak’s obs re volume levels. Actually I was going to say the same thing. :) Your volume was in steady decreasing boom from Pallavi – charanam1 – charanam2 and the ending, in that order….actually, that last volume is what suited the song best….
not sure if Vishak and me are going to be the only people to say this… :)

Hey Raj!
Back with another bang eh??!! :) Loved this bro! Everyone said tht u sound like Unni in this song… But honestly I never felt so… I felt tht it had Raj Kumar’s voice and not Unni’s… Lovely singing in this one… Always admire ur singing! Especially at places like “Mogathiley” and other places with the similar sangathi… Those were simply mindblowing!
Vichu – Da very nice work! U help ppl sing their fav songs time and again, when a track for it is never available… You rock bro!!
All the very best! Loved it lot! 100% justice done to the song…

Thanks all, for your valuable time and comments… Regarding the uneven volume in vocals, the original voice in the track didnt get subdued completely and the volume of the original voice travels in crests and troughs through-out… So it does seem that the volume of my vocals is uneven… I wish to thank Baaju for lending the M-Audio Podcast Factory USB Sound card and this got recorded using the same… Will surely cover songs of other singers and break the brand, Subha and Meena…. Thanks again…
Thanks & Regards,
