Kannalane (Bombay)

Hi Everyone,

It's been a really long time since I've uploaded any of my recordings - mostly because of two reasons.

I had a huge musical show (by my team Jashn) staged on July 12, 2009, which, thanks to the Bay Area Audience and the hard work of my 30 member cast, was a tremendous success!

I've also been stuck. I couldn't/didn't record anything that I was satisfied with in the past seven months. But, since I think the mental block is leading to a general recording block, I'm going to finally upload a recording that I've been decently satisfied with.

This song, in my opinion, is one of those everlasting melodies of AR Rahman and Chitra that will never lose its charm. Without further ado, here's my rendition:

Song: Kannalane
Movie: Bombay
Composer: A.R. Rahman

P.S. Can anyone give me a hand with mixing? I would really appreciate any tips and tricks. I work primarily with Garage Band, and have a tendency of moving when I sing, so fixing the the volume differences and mixing with the track would probably make my recordings sound much more continuous!

Chalo Tumko Lekar

A wonderful melody from the movie Jism. Most people remember the popular Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai rendered by Shreya, but this one is lesser well known, but prettier in my opinion. It's flirtatious, seductive, innocent and soothing all at the same time. So when I stumbled across the karaoke a few days ago, I couldn't resist the urge to try my voice on it :)

For this one especially, I'd highly recommend listening to it with headphones. The music is absolutely brilliant, but subtle in the instrumentals, so it can be hard to catch otherwise.

Lastly, some people told me that they were having trouble subscribing to this blog, so I've added a new widget on the right hand panel of this blog.
