Alright, finally got a free afternoon and listened to all the songs I was tagged on.
Charu: Aye Dil-e-Nadaan
When I heard you strike the first note... I was like, wait am I listening to the original? Your voice has that distinct 'khanak' that is made for recording artists. You're halfway there to becoming one. Wonderful effort.
Spidey: Tribute to 80s singers
You started with a song I really enjoy and ended with one of my most favorites. I think Suresh Wadkar did such a great job on this song and Ilaiya Raja (Fight me on this) remains an unsung genius. What a wonderful composition. In between were songs that aren't my faves with a couple by Rafi wannabes that I'd forgotten about . But you have a great talent for imitating their styles, & capturing the nuances in their singing and you do it really well. Keep it up!
Charu & NP: Tere bina zindagi se koi
This used to be one of my favorite songs growing up. The lyrics remain unmatched like only Gulzar can do. How beautifully he sums up one of life's complex paradoxes. Aahhh.. a beauty of a song.
And so so well sung. I forgot Kishoreda sings only one antara in this and was waiting a long time to hear you come on, NP. Charu, you were wonderful as always, but I have to make a special mention of NP. I think you toned down the natural exuberance in your voice to suit this song and that mellowness and angst was very well captured. Great work, both of you.
Kosha: Raag Megh Malhar
I really enjoyed this one (Yes I listened till the end) and the raag was just the perfect one to post on World Music Day. Nothing like music to move you. Simply sublime!
PS: I was thinking of Man ki been and then realized that is Bahar and then thought of Baraso re but is that Mian ki Malhar? Is that the same as Megh Malhar? There are very subtle differences, maybe? I couldn't tell..
Padma: Tumko dekha toh ye khayal aaya
First off, so happy and excited to have you here Welcome to the bandwagon, hoping to hear more from you on here!
This is such a beautiful song by Jagjit Singh! And you did it full justice. Just a protip- maybe it was the mike you're using but there was some amount of disturbance in the recording that maybe can be fixed by a better mike? Idk I'm no tech expert. But great job, nonetheless!
Hope I haven't missed anyone! Do check if all your songs have been updated on the first page.
Also, do join in on the Antakshari thread..that's been real soona soona for a while now!
