Oru Nila Oru Kulam - Ilangyan

This post is for a new Tamil song of Shreya. Its titled “Oru Nila Oru Kulam” from the move “Ilangyan”. Music has been composed by Vidyasagar.


The track runs for 4 minutes 50 seconds. It starts with a beautiful piece having a typical Vidyasagar touch. It’s an outstanding track which can fall in the same category of Nenjathilae composed by the same composer and sung by Shreya. Anyway, the song has a nice carnatic flavor. The instrumentation is outstanding, like previous Vidyasagar – Shreya songs. Shreya starts with the song first, followed by a nice piece played on a Guitar like instrument. Karthik is a nice singer but here, I felt that that he was singing with a lot of cough and cold in his voice which was restricting him to touch higher notes easily. You guys felt the same? The first interlude has been kept very light, starting a beautiful flute piece. The antaras follows a superb pattern like that of Nenjathilae. You will get to know what I mean after you hear the song. Do I need to say that Shreya, like always takes the song to other level? There’s a very beautiful small alaap by Shreya at 2:48. It’s just a 2 second alaap but adds a classic touch to the song. Its one of the best Tamil songs of Shreya!!

Sau Baar - Yamla Pagla Deewana

Finally I am writing about Sau Baar. It’s a new song by Shreya and Nauman from the movie “Yamla Pagla Deewana”. Music of this particular song has been composed by Sandesh Shandilya.


The track runs for 4 minutes 13 seconds. Its a light romantic track. The male singer has a voice texture like Atif Aslam.. don’t know whether others feels the same! Anyway, the song is nice but Shreya starts singing from the first antara. The track starts with a nice flute piece followed by a guitar piece and Nauman's singing (which didn't impress me much). The interlude before the first antara is nicely made. Shreya, in her mesmerizing voice starts singing with "Aankhon mein dekha jo tune.... " giving a 70's touch to the song. The second antara follows the same tune. Ending of the track is nicely rendered by our Shreya followed by alaaps by the male singer's alaap!

Dhinaku Dhin (Telugu)

This post is about Shreya’s new Telugu song “Dhinaku Dhin” from the movie "Mirapakay". Music has been composed by Thaman S.


The track is a duet by our Nightingale Shreya and Shankar Mahadevan. It runs for 4 minutes 45seconds. Its a beautiful blend of Carnatic and slight western music. It starts with a beautiful lines sung by Shreya amazingly. Those lines are my most favorite part of this track. Then the awesome piece is played on saxaphone and Shankar Mahadevan continues with the song with western beats in the background. Shreya sings "Dhinaku Dhin" in a low scale to suit the theme of the track. The lines "sumashyamala" repeats in the song many times. The first interlude by the chorus is a music hear. Thaman S has done a wonderful job. The antaras are fab as well.


Overall, this track is mostly based on Carnatic song.

Shehar Ki Rani - Tera Kya Hoga Johnny

I am back with the bang guys!! I was busy with my final exams, so couldn’t review the new songs.Two exams are still left but I couldn’t stop myself from posting.Its quite late already.Anyway, coming to the track, its titled “Shehar Ki Rani” . Its a solo by Shreya. Music has been composed by Abhishek Ray.


The track runs for4 minutes 10 seconds. Its a full on peppy track and usual music lovers will surely not recognize the voice of Shreya. She is totally rocking and again, this song is a slap on her critics and those who say that she cannot sing fast numbers must hear this, along with few other numbers! Sometimes, people follow the same mindset for years even if they are noticing the change.


Talking about the song, Abhishek Ray has done a fantastic job with teh composition. Wonder why this song was not promoted. It really hurts. Shreya has done sucha mindblowing job and the producers didn't promote it. The interlude in between are of arabic style. Hope people doesn't ignore this song without hearing!

Shreya's recent interview at Radio City Studio!

Shreya was recently interviewed at Radio City Musical-e-azam.. She sings her various songs like Urzu Urzu Durukut, Chori Kiya Re Jiya and some oldies like Bahon Mein Chale Aa!! Here is the video!!


Sanju Weds Geetha (Kannada)

Finally, the most awaited post is here! I know I am late in posting but you all know the reason! Anyway, lets leave all that and come to the point!

Shreya has three beautiful solos in an upcoming Kannada Movie "Sanju Weds Geetha". Getting three solos by Shreya in one single movie is an rare opportunity for fans. Music has been composed by Jassie Gift. Lets come to the songs now!

The first track is titled "Gaganave Baagi". The track runs for 4 minutes 43 seconds. It starts with a beautiful alaap sung by Shreya, followed by a nice harmony. Shreya starts with the song and the moment I heard the first line of this track, I just fell for it! Believe me! Its so well composed and ofcourse sung by Our Nightingale. These type of tracks are rarely made. The beats, the instrumentation are so rare and beautiful! The tune which plays at the background starting from 0:57 just takes my heart away! Its one of the major beauties of the track. The interlude is beautifully composed , supported by santoor. The antaras are so beautiful and pure. The instrumentation, composition, singing of course is just AMAZING! I don't have words to express my feelings about this song. If any music lover miss this song, then he is in a big loss!!


Coming to the second track, its titled Omme Baaro which is a 4 minutes 50 seconds track. Just like the previous track, I fell for this track as well. The track starts with a haunting tune played on synthesizer, followed by a beautiful piece played on violin. Shreya starts with the song, supported by light western beats in the background. The saxophone in the background sounds amazing and adds Midas touch! The beats at the background changes in the antara and the way Shreya has rendered each and every word of this antara is totally mesmerizing. The antara ends with a beautiful alaap which takes my breath away Hats off to Shreya!! The more I hear this song, more addictive I become! I am so happy that Kannada Music Industry has such great composers. Hats off!!


Last track is the title track titled "Sanju Matthu Geetha". Its a solo but it also has a duet version in which one antara has been taken from the solo. So, better we talk about the solo! It runs for 4 minutes 39 seconds. The moment I heard this track, I was taken into a new dreamland. The song is so lovely, dreamy and beautiful. I don't have adjectives to describe the songs of this movie. Shreya has completely rocked the song as usual. The first interlude has a beautiful tune played on flute, followed by a well composed antara. Just like the above two songs, this song is also an masterpiece. Hear them to know what I actually mean!!


I am so addictive these songs. All the three songs are masterpieces. Those who have not heard, for God's sake, please listen them otherwise you gotta miss something big!!


Hats off to Shreya and the composer!! :)

ps: I request Kiran Raj to please post the lyrics and translation as comments.

You Are My Love - Kellafateh (Bangla)

Hello friends. I am back with a new post. Its for another Bangla track. The track is titled "You are my love" from the movie "Kellafateh". Its sung by Shreya and some chorus singer (don't know his name). Music is by Jeet Ganguly again!

The track runs for 4 minutes 47 seconds. Its a nice melody with a slight western touch at places (I am talking about the male singing here). It starts with a soothing sound made by bells, followed by the lines by the chorus singer! Shreya starts at 0:51 with her soothing voice. The English lines by the other singer adds a new touch to the song. The interlude before the first antara is very sweet. The background music in the antaras are very impressive and do I need to say that I am spellbound by Shreya's singing? Her voice, emotions makes this song more lively.

Overall, a very nice romantic track! :)

O Mon Pakhi (Bangla)

I am back with new posts. This time, I am going to talk about Shreya’s new Bangla track. Its titled “O Mon Pakhi”. Its from the movie “ “Mon Je Kore Uru Uru”. Music has been composed by Jeet Ganguly.

Shreya has sung this song with Soham (who also sang Pal Mein Hi with her) and Rana Mazumdar. The track runs for 4 minutes 13 seconds. Its a romantic track. It starts with a beautiful interlude and Soham starts with the song first. The mukhda is supported by light instruments like guitar. One of the major parts of the song is the line "Haye Rabba" which gets repeated in the song many times. Shreya starts singing from the first antara with her soulful voice. Shreya starts with a beautiful sargam and she sings the further lines according to the same sargam. Rana's line are impressive as well. Its a very sweet Bangla number. Hope you all will like it!

Isi Life Mein

Isi Life Mein comes from Rajshri Productions House!! It has four songs by Shreya. Music has been composed by Meet Bros Anjan Ankit. Shreya has sung four songs in it. Lets come to the songs!


The first song is Ramji 24*7 sung by Shreya, Kavita Seth & Debojit. It runs for 4 minutes 15 seconds. Its a very different type of song which I have never heard before. It starts with chorus singing by kids, followed by Shreya's cute humming. Kavita Seth starts with the song and the way Shreya sings "nai nai nai.. " is very very sweet, specially the one after "Pizza ka swad bhula dena". I guess this is a song made for kids. Its a nice celebration track. There are very cute hummings like "oye hoye" by Shreya in between. Both the antaras are sung by Shreya with some support by Kavita and Debojit.


Next song is an romantic track titled "Tere Pyaar Mein". Shreya has sung this song with Kunal Ganjawala. It runs for 7 minutes approximately. Its an amazing romantic track with full of emotions and feelings. The first interlude continues for a minute and Shreya starts the song with her angelic voice. The first line itself is very soothing. The line "main khili...tere pyaar mein" gives me goosebumps. The background music is also superb! Kunal has given good support. Interludes between antaras are very nice. The lyrics are nice as well. Instrumentation is very soulful. Shreya has completely rocked the song!!


The other two songs are Isi Umar Mein and Lol (Live Out Loud). Shreya hardly has two lines in both the songs.So, I wont talk about those songs but still, both the songs are peppy!!


ps: Posts about Sanju Weds Geetha and 2 bangla tracks coming in few hours!!
