Wow, Harshan! Loved your live rendition on this Bangla song. Smiling all the way… nice low notes! but the language sounds a bit like Konkani as well, kaiko?
Loved it, to favs,
Sudha
P.S.>I bet your wife and kids are “bhangeyed” out with this song… :-)

Not sure if the favs/like counter is a bit busted on the song page. Time for a fix, perhaps?

You sound awesome….voice quality and expressions….
I admire you for keeping your word. I will join you and post a song today….that was recorded without any touch ups, effects and done in one go.

Is this song that Italian tune?

So you have opened the innings this time for ‘dry vocal cover’ tournament and placed the very first delivery with elegance for a four through the covers… :) Its a real good call from you to post only the dry vocals… And am sure we will get to hear the resplendence in many of our comrades’ voices… At times, an improper mix does take away the beauty of one’s voice in the output… Loved your modulations and throw… You should have taken music seriously… :( But really glad that you still continue your yeoman’s service in motivating people… Hats off brother!!
Thanks,

At that ‘Keno bole naa’segment …A very strong Bengali flavor is there !!!a big thumbs-up :-)

Rakesh Baro said

:) Hats off to you sir…it’s a tough song, I still have doubts if I should cover the song….You have done an awesome job sirrrr……

To Favs

Cheers

Hi Harshan Chattopadyaay, A great benagali song indeed evoking nostalgia in many a bengali and non bengali alike.superbly navigated, through dry or wet as it does not matter as long as ears are pleased. A wonderful cover by you, All bengali friends will agree with me.i am given to understand a dry vocal tournament kind is about begin (from a comment above), and harshan is the first to fall for it . but i am at loss as to why some of our esteemed friends here are behind wet dry and slippery vocals. a slight addition of effects wont change the basic texture of anyones voice, had it been so, music loving millionaires wud hav bought such equipments and produced better rafis and kishores and frank sinathras. aslo if this is to discover the 916 purity of ones voice , all the followers shud record it in same set up and equipment our harshan used. after all set up is 80% responsible for the voice quality of dry vocals.So dear harshan, pls post a version of the same song with the required wetness, for me.it will be still better .Be it Lis taylor,brook shields or merlin manroe, they look good a little clothed than naked. hehe
Satheesh

Its a very beautiful song and thanks for introducing it to me:) Keno bole na, the most difficult part in the song you just nailed it:)

Awesome dry vocals and great singing.

Goes to my favs directly without any doubt.

Rahul (getting back to routine) said

Sree, Just heard the mix of this uploaded dry vocals:) Sounds fantastic. Just wanted to point out that this dry vocals upload idea is fantastic. You get to see where the singer stand in terms of with and without effects. Nothing bad about it:)

Comparing both ur mixed and dry vocals one thing struck my mind was that you do not need any more polishing than your dry vocals cos your voice has innate bass and reverb to a certain extent and sounds good without any effects.

Overall, I loved ur Dry vocals much more than the mixed one. Mixed one is obviously better sounding but the success of this experimentation is the dry vocals:)

Loved it.

Hey Harsha, kaise ho bhai? Got a small window of opportunity to clear my HUGE backlog of posts to visit.
Maan gaye ustaad! Rendering a song in alien language, and leaving the vocals dry; that calls for some guts! Its alien to me too, and never heard the song before. But I can say you have sung this very well, ‘coz now I feel like listening to the original, in the maestro’s own voice. Way to go Harsh!
