Yes, not many songs come in this genre nowadays, it is all lost in time. But how many we got from Maestro. I think I had written only one in SPB-IR thread from Chinna Veedu. Sure, will try to write more, whatever I can.
Thedi Vantha Devathaiye
After S.Janaki, she is the girl. Shreya Goshal What a sexy voice n singing, Erotic
Agree! Though I *detest* the choice of KGunjawala there, Shreya hits the right emotions there! and Raaja executed the song well, in terms of instrumentation. Never watched the song though and i dont intend to. I just love the guitars that he backs up with, during the vocal portions! Killer modernity!
Devaraagam,
Thats because it is slightly unusual. Its not a comfortable melody such as Kannai Padithen. The synth grooves that open Thedi Vantha are unusual of Raaja. One can expect to find such stuff in the songs of other composers but thats something unexpected from raaja. So, raaja fans who are critical of such stuff in other composers' music will find it inconvenient here. Then people might dislike the choice of singer here - KGunjawala. I am one of them. But nevertheless, the tune of the song is amazing. Raaja gets the mood so well. And the percussions are so different. And Raaja too used loops in this song (though he himself might complain about loops usage) but then, they are all cleverly hidden under the beauty of the tune, the guitars, the way Shreya emotes. Its a fine package.. hidden in the garb of taboo. Staunch fans (who worship his 80s/90s output) might not like this song and thats fine. They have their valid reasons.
Raja of Erotica , Devadhai oru devadhai sounds similar to Kora kagas Tha ( Aradhana ). Quite possible as Raja is a fan of S.D.B. Could be inspiration largely ?
