A.R.Rahman l Mani Rathnam l KADAL

[baba88]

The official confirmation is finally here; Mani Rathnam has got everything ready and decided for his next project, a romantic bilingual in Tamil and Telugu. We have been hearing all kinds of reports about this for a few months now. While most of them were true, the title of the film was just decided. It is not Pookadai, as was widely speculated, Mani Rathnam has christened his 23rd film Kadal.

As reported throughout media circles for quite a while now, Karthik’s son Gautham will make his debut through this film. It will be a unique generation shift, with Mani Rathnam having delivered the evergreen Mounaragam with Karthik himself. Playing Gautham’s pair in the movie will be the rising heroine of the Soouth, Samantha. She is having quite a time both in Telugu and Tamil. Her film with Mahesh Babu, Dookudu, broke quite a few records while she has Neethane En Ponvasantham under Gautham Menon coming up for release.

However, the big casting news is the presence of Arjun. It will be interesting to see what plans Mani Rathnam has for this senior star in a romantic movie. And, the biggest surprise of all was the return of Aravind Swamy to the silver screen after quite a while. Quite rightly, it is under his mentor and we are sure that Mani Rathnam would not have called upon him without a good enough reason. Thambi Ramaiah too is being considered for an important role, it is reported.

Finally, there are the constants without which a Mani Rathnam film is never complete. Yes, A.R.Rahman will be scoring the music for Kadal and this will be the first occasion since Alai Paayudhe when Rahman and Rathnam are combining for a full fledged romantic flick; expect some magic. Rajeev Menon will handle the camera. The film will be produced by Mani Rathnam’s banner Madras Talkies.

Mani makes use of Vairamuthu's poems

Work is going on in a fast track as far as Mani Ratnam's forthcoming film 'Kadal' is concerned. Two songs have already been recorded by A R Rahman and the director is gearing up to starting the first schedule of shooting soon.



Says Vairamuthu, "Mani Ratnam has handpicked two poems from my book Vairamuthu Kavidhaigal and asked Rahman to compose it as songs. I recently listened to both the numbers and they are stunning."

Claiming that one of the two numbers would occupy a place in 'Best 10 songs of the decade', the ace lyricist says, "I am happy that my poems have used by Mani Ratnam and they are beautifully given shape by Rahman."

Vairamuthu, who took a break from actively penning lyrics for films, adds: "That's because I had some personal commitments to honor. I have completed all of them in the last five years. Both my sons got married and I had built a house. Now I am back to penning lyrics in full swing."

Arjun's get-ups in 'Kadal'

IndiaGlitz [Saturday, March 03, 2012]






Arjun is all thrilled. For he is appearing in three different get-ups in Mani Ratnam's forthcoming film 'Kadal'. "Mani sir has finalised two looks and is currently working on the third one," says the 'Action King'.

"Though I received an opportunity to work with him only after completing 150 films, I should say he has given me a satisfying role. And no, I am not supposed to say anything beyond this," says Arjun.

The actor, who is quick to add that there were no such restrictions from Mani Ratnam not to speak to anyone about his character in 'Kadal', adds: "But it will be no right on my part to reveal about the film. Mani sir should talk about it."

This year, Arjun has big plans in Bollywood. "I will soon direct a Hindi film besides a movie in Tamil, to be produced by Aascar V Ravichandran. Kananda film Prasad, which will soon be released in Tamil, is my 150th flick," he says.

[SVN]

This must be a great album to look forward to.

[A.ANAND]

Mani’s waves of happiness

Mani Ratnam is smiling. His forthcoming film Kadal with newcomers Gautham Karthik and Thulasi Nair is almost complete. Recently Mani and his trusted cameraman Rajiv Menon saw rushes of the film and were delighted with it.

Sources swear that after seeing the rushes, Mani sir broke out into a big smile as he is said to have been very impressed by the performance of Gautham Karthik. Remember, Gautham father Karthik was one of Mani’s favourite actors. Who can forget his realistic performance in Mani’s Mounaragam and Agninakshtram ?

Kadal features Gautham Karthik and Thulasi, daughter of Radha and sister of Karthika in the lead. It also has Arjun, Arvind Swamy, Ponvannan, Pasupathy and Lakshmi Manchu.

The highlight of this film is going to be the fresh new story told by Mani and Jeyamohan on the life of fisher folks in the southern most tip of India in Kanyakumari district. It is a basically a love story woven with some real life incidents.


Mani and his all-time favourite music director AR Rahman is said to have spent days in coastal Tamil Nadu to get the right tunes for the film penned by Madan Karki

AR Rahman 'Nenjikulle' song from 'Kadal' rocks!

AR Rahman premiered his Mani Ratnam’s Kadal song at MTV unplugged season 2, which was telecast on Saturday (November 3) night.

AR Rahman performed "Nenjukulle" from Kadal sung by Shakthisree Gopalan. The song a soft poignant melody became an instant hit with viewers and was trending on Twitter.

The US based Filmmaker Naveen said: “Nenjukulle is a heart-stroking composition, mellifluous poetry, perfect rendition and wonderfully arranged!Most of AR's female vocal finds have a good 'bass' voice including Shakthisree Gopalan. There is magic with the violin by Anne Marie Calhoun.”

The song has less instruments and more melody with lovely meaningful lyrics by Vairamuthu.

The ARR number has also made the Chennai based singer Shakthisree Gopalan even more popular. Recently she sang in Jab Tak Hai Jaan with Javed Ali under AR Rahman baton.

Now fans of AR Rahman are eagerly looking forward for the audio launch of Mani Ratnam’s Kadal which will take place later this month.

[Sunil_M88]

I have attempted to translate "Nenjukkulla". Those who are good at translating, please improvise / correct accordingly to make it better.

The song is about a girl who has fallen in love but unable to express her love to her lover. The song is composed based on the lyrics from an existing poem from vairamuthu's collections. The poem has a very good use of rhyme and alliteration. Thus, the words rhyme well in Tamil.

Translation:

In my heart…
I’ve tied you...
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?

You threw an innocent look at me
My mind, which couldn’t resist that, is like a wet mirror!
A Colorful dollar chain...A watch on the right hand…
And an authority that controls even Elephants and Tigers!!

Even after you had left
Your shadow hasn’t gone
It had fallen in my heart
I rose up seeing this
And after, I never went down
My mind is straight like a metallic rib in an umbrella…

In my heart…
I’ve tied you…
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?

Birds have slept already
Milk has turned into curd
Even the leaf in the tree has slept

When people with Cancer could sleep
I am infected with this desire and
I Couldn’t sleep even for half-a-minute!
(“Kaasa Noi” means Cancer and “Aasa Noi” means Infected by Desire; the words rhyme well in Tamil)

In my heart…
I’ve tied you…
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?

I couldn’t eat…
My tongue is dry…
It’s been 7 to 8 days and
I haven’t even swallowed my saliva!

I am a poor little girl
who couldn’t express anything
Like a rubber bangle
Which couldn’t make any sound!

In my heart…
I’ve tied you…
I don’t know in which direction my day rose?

I am really happy that this place is getting back alive again. It has been really quiet for a while even with the releases of ek deewana tha and jab thak hai jaan. I really missed an ARR an album set in rural theme. I mean ARR is unaffordable for young directors who make movies like veyyil and paruthiveeran. Now after nearly a decade we will get some beautiful melodies without big electronic instrumentals or rap parts or a lot of experimentation.

One may have the fastest brain,one's knowledge in music may be limitless, but that doesn't guarantee creativity.. To make a tune like nenjukulle you need all the above plus something beyond which is inexplicable... ARR has that magical factor,tonnes of that.. Guys,nenjukulle is just the beginning.. Kadal will rock big time.... Waiting..

Srinivas Doraiswamy Was privileged to hear the original tune played by ARR in the accordion.. Well, that is Magic beyond...

Striking a chord

Ace composer A. R. Rahman’s song ‘Nenjukulle’ creates waves on Twitter. Even he was moved by the phenomenal response to his programme on MTV Unplugged, particularly to his song in veteran director Mani Ratnam’s next film, Kadal.

Music director A. R. Rahman is someone who seldom gets excited. But even he was moved by the phenomenal response to his programme on MTV Unplugged, particularly to his song in veteran director Mani Ratnam’s next film, Kadal.

The number, titled ‘Nenjukulle”, aired on MTV first and a link to the video posted on Twitter later, seems to have evoked quite a lot of interest and admiration among fans across the globe.

Responding to the congratulatory messages, the musician tweeted, “OMG (Oh my God)… Didn’t expect such kind remarks for our MTV unplugged2 event. Thanks so much for all your love.”

A.R. Rahman premiered the sounds of Mani Ratnam’s Kadal in an astounding performance on a special edition of MTV’s Unplugged on Saturday. He along with his backing band and singer Shakthi, performed the track ‘Nenjukulle’ from the yet to be released film.

We are now getting reports that Kadal’s soundtrack will have a total of 7 tunes including the track that was unveiled over the weekend. The song has truly gone viral and music lovers are going ga-ga over the composition. Rahman too has acknowledged the appreciation that has been pouring in from all quarters. He has thanked the audience through his micro-blogging page for the overwhelming response.

Lyricist Vairamuthu too released a note of acknowledgement that claims that A.R. Rahman and Mani Ratnam are pillars of gold that can sense the true beauty of art. He also pointed out that ‘Nenjukulle’ was only a droplet in the vast sea of music that has been scored for Kadal.

Whats there to get shocked?! His praise towards Rahman is his IMHO. Keep that aside. But if anything attempted about any 'other' MD, that too wrt creativity, its pure comedy! Just ask him go say or show this comment to his industry friends, their reaction wud be :rotfl:

[baba88]

I am so excited that ARR gets to work with his best buddys where his comfort level seems to be. Mani Rathnam, Bharathbala, Shankar, Gautham Menon, KS Ravikumar. They are sure to get the best out of him.

Kadal has the ARR x MR combination. Plus its Mani Rathnams first straight tamil movie after a long time.

Mariyaan has Bharathbala as the director who is one of ARRs best friends. Plus Danush natural acting in a rural theme

Kochadaiyaan is a carnatic dance themed movie with rajinikanth. I hope to get another Sangamam type of soundtrack

I has the Shankar x ARR combination. Plus it is Shankars first love thriller after Jeans (or Boys) so expect some nice melodies

Yohan will have Gautham Menon as the director and I hope he brings out some nice tunes like he did in Kakka Kakka or VV

Rahman in Love (http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/PMN3mqKc3IHW7AUdojRmdJ/Rahman-in-Love.html)

You’ve probably heard a lot about Nenjukulle, the preview of a song from AR Rahman’s forthcoming soundtrack for Mani Ratnam’s December release Kadal. If you haven’t heard the song itself, in spite of the collective crush that sections of the Internet are harbouring for it, you must not be Tamil-speaking. Or possessed of a heart, I guess.

I’m kidding. This is pretty great, though, and if you follow this helpful guide to the Vairamuthu-written lyrics, with Tamil, English transliteration, and a rough English translation, you’ll probably be inclined to think so yourself. (Here is another good English translation.) Shakthisree Gopalan’s beautiful smooth-jazz voice has a lot to do with the success of this song; you probably missed her singing in Jab Tak Hai Jaan’s title track, given that the song appeared during the end credits, but queue it up if you haven’t heard it already, because she is a winner.

I’m still in two minds about the champagne-y concertina. I know this is rich coming from an unabashed fan of Rohail Hyatt’s work on Coke Studio Pakistan, but this MTV Unplugged set, where Rahman previewed the song to widespread surprise and delight, was a little too smooth and pleasantly-pitched for me. Rahman has always been a master manipulator of the pleasant pitch, but a wonderful thing about his best work is how he can surprise us — scratchy percussion here, an unexpected dip in a vocal there — even when he is lulling us into submission. What’s can a full orchestra do with Rehna Tu that the original soundtrack hasn’t already done? So as much as I’m enjoying this, I await Nenjukulle’s appearance on the soundtrack of Kadal, reportedly releasing on 23 November.

The heart of this song’s success, and the reason so many fans are calling it a “comeback” for Rahman (who I, personally, don’t think went anywhere), though, is its clean, waltzy melody; one of those instances when you understand why certain kinds of film music have endured for generations. My grandfather would have loved Nenjukulle just as much as a teenager in Madras does. Songs like this make me think about an early strand of Rahman criticism, which claimed that he was a synth merchant whose talents with machines were superior to his grasp of melody. This was really a laughable accusation to level at someone who debuted with the music of Roja, but now that we have two decades of his work on which to pronounce judgment, this becomes a little easier to refute.

I think there are times when Rahman doesn’t quite tell the stories he’s supposed to with his music -- this happened most recently on his soundtrack for Jab Tak Hai Jaan (my review). He’s sometimes described, even by fans, as a composer whose work has increasingly needed patience and repeated listening to get into, because he’s sacrificed spontaneity for textural complexity. But I’m also going to go ahead and propose that Rahman on form has produced some of the finest love songs of the last few years. Think of Rang de Basanti’s Tu Bin Bataye, or Ay Hairat-e-Aashiqui from Guru; my own favourite is the aforementioned Rehna Tu from Delhi-6, a strange, luminous thing sung by Rahman himself. These songs all fall well within the tradition of the epic Hindi movie love song, which has been a somewhat beleaguered genre in the last few years; but I don’t think any of Rahman’s contemporaries, even the talented innovators, could have pulled them off with quite the same grave resonance. And these are just the product of the recent, more gnomic years. This is the composer who gave us Kaadhal Rojaave and Uyire; his Yennavalae from Kaadhalan is enchanting even in the piped muzak form in which it plays over lunchtime customers at Saravana Bhavan in Delhi’s Janpath.

However, many of these have been duets, or male solos. This is much in keeping with the gendering of our movies. Rahman, you will have noticed, composes for a lot of movies that include happy women singing about their freedom and oneness with the universe -- does anyone have a word for this category? I’m stuck on “cool singing girl” — from his very first hit song, Minmini’s Chinna Chinna Aasai (Chhoti si Asha) in Roja, to Sujatha’s Poo Pookum Osai in Minsara Kanavu, transformed by Hema Sardesai as Aawara Bhanwarey Sapnay, to Neeti Mohan belting Jiya Re in last week’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan. But these are different from songs about love, which, while certainly not new to Rahman, are altogether fewer. So Nenjukulle doesn’t have as many predecessors as it might have had if it were sung by, say, Naresh Iyer. But it reminded me of at least one other great Rahman composition for a Mani Ratnam film, Sadhna Sargam’s Snehidane in Alaipayuthey (transmuted into the somewhat duller Chupke Se in Saathiya, Shaad Ali’s Hindi remake). Will it become as popular? Let’s give it another decade.

[Sunil_M88]

Nenjukulle’s first line itself reflects how I feel about this song in its entirety as I have “in my heart, tied” this song. My heart is an empty canvas to which Rahman Ji comes with an array of colourful instruments. He paints a vehicle in which I’m the passenger and Shakthisree Gopalan is the driver. She drives me through time, I see my playful childhood right in front me, she drives me through many emotions, I see my mum and dad looking after me and finally she drives me through all the four seasons. But If I had to pick a season which is the essence of the song, then it is autumn and the shakers sound like the shuffling of leaves.

Although Rahman Ji has completed this wonderful painting of a song, I’m still a passenger who along with the driver has only just begun this journey of a lifetime. Yedhum Solla Mudiyala!

'Kadal' second song on Dec 10

Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman is trying out new ideas to popularise the Kadal music. The “Nenjikullee ..” song which was first played on MTV became a sensational hit and made Kadal music a brand.

Now another song from the Kadal album “Elay Keechan..” written by Karky and tuned by Rahman is going to go on air on December 10. The song according to insiders can further boost the album.

Meanwhile Madras Talkies has made it clear that Kadal audio by Sony Music will be launched officially on December 17.

A Mani Ratnam film normally does not have an audio launch and it will be straight to the stores.

Hey girl, As I rig the sails - Oh my fate,
With a whiff of a pomfret bait
Here comes the fish..tiger fish
Your tiger fish !
At night eyes from an owl, he'll ask
And also a prawn's mustache he'll ask
Then, he'll come in a tiger's mask

Shuddering shuddering
My sarong, darling won't it sing your name ?
Once.. only once you brushed past
And with that, my life you blast

ஒனக்காக வலையொண்ணு வலையொண்ணு
விரிச்சிருக்கேன் நான் தவமிருக்கேன் - நீ

நீ வேணா சொன்னா..
எங்க எங்க போவேனோ தோமா...

Just for you, a net I cast
I sit in penance and fast
Hoping you'll fall, burning midnight oil
Keeping awake, I toil
I'm bit of a lunatic
If you say no,
Where will this Thomas go ?

ஒத்த அலையுல மெதெக்குற
ஓடம்போல் உன் நெனப்புல
நான் மெதந்து கெடக்குறேன்
ஓரப் பார்வையால சிரிச்சா என்ன ?

On a single wave, like a raft
In your memory, I waft
From the corner of your eye
Why not, a smile for this guy ?

நீ திடு திடுக்க
மனம் சுத்தி வளைக்க - நான்
வெள வெளக்க - தல
கிறு கிறுக்க

Making me quiver and shiver
Me, you surround around
I become ghastly grey
And my head reels teeter-totter

நான் பார்த்த நொடியே - ஹே
பித்து பிடிக்க
தூத்துக்குடியே - ஒன்ன
தூக்கி இழுக்க தூக்கி இழுக்க

Instant, I saw you
I became insane
All of my Tutircorin
Now, pulls you in

ஏ இத்துன மச்சம் - ஹே
எத்தன் லட்சம் - அத

வாரி எடுத்த வாரி எடுத்த

Just in one catch,
All, you bestowed
As a mother's lap
Me, you gathered

Javed Akthar was right in saying, “I think Rahman is one of those people, who have changed things and he has given a kind of new sensibility to an Indian music listener and the music makers Vis-à-vis the sound, orchestration, structure of the sound. He has challenged the basic structure of Indian film songs and he has altered it.

He is not much influenced by film music!

His sources are different!

He has a kind of courage where he is not afraid to experiment!

He is not afraid to fail and that is why he succeeds!”

I wonder what Rahman JI’s main source is, he has this childlike passion to always challenge others and most importantly himself! I have not witnessed the passion in other Music Directors Twenty years down the line from his debut, he still ventures into avenues unknown the Indian film music. “Elay Keechan” is a prime example of RAHMAN JI being THE ONLY PIONEER in Indian cinema! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Thought of clarifying the line 'ஈசா வரம் பொழிஞ்சாச்சு’. 'ஈசா' is another name for Jesus and it is mainly used by the Muslims. Muslims in all parts of the world refer to Jesus as Prophet Eesa (Eesaa Nabi, in Tamil). Even in the Quran Jesus is referred to as Eesa. Karky always tries to come up with some unused terms in his lyrics and this is one such attempt (in Tamil songs they always use யேசு/ஏசு for Jesus ). I don't know whether some Christians in TN use the term Eesa for Jesus. Perhaps, Joe can clarify.

Elay Keechan is right there at the top in the iTunes 'Top Songs' category on the day of its release. That's king for you.. :)

Kadal Remix - Nenjukkule Chill Dub Mix http://youtu.be/fI02BDxSIe4

It actually has a nice feel to it. But if I may give you some advise, please turn down the volume of the drums and snares a bit or turn the volume of the vocals up. And just remove the sounds you put on the "Nee pona pinbu nilal..." part. The additional drums on that part are enough I feel. I hope I get to hear a version with the small changes soon :)

'Elay keechan' top itunes chart

A.R. Rahman's 'Elay Keechan' tops the charts

A.R. Rahman's just released 'Elay Keechan' from Mani Ratnam's Kadal has topped the iTunes chart with in hours of its release. This heart-wenching number, rendered by Rahman himself has overtaken Dabangg 2, Talaash , Khiladi 786 and other Bollywood tracks, to reach the no:1 spot. Madhan Karky has penned the lyrics of 'Elay Keechan'.

'Elay Keechan' is likely to take you by surprise, as for the for the first time a composer has given a western touch for a fishermen song.

[Guess_Me]

I wish Flipkart offered free MP3 singles to those who pre-ordered the audio CD. The CD itself costs Rs 125 and now they want Rs 12 for each single as well from fans like me who are eager to listen. At this rate, for 7 songs it will be Rs 84, on top of the 125 already paid for the CD :(

Can someone please send me the MP3s of both songs? All the ones available on the net are downloaded from YouTube, which doesn't sound good and Nenjukkulle is the unplugged version without the flute and ARR's humming.

Javed Akthar was right in saying, “I think Rahman is one of those people, who have changed things and he has given a kind of new sensibility to an Indian music listener and the music makers Vis-à-vis the sound, orchestration, structure of the sound. He has challenged the basic structure of Indian film songs and he has altered it.

He is not much influenced by film music!

His sources are different!

He has a kind of courage where he is not afraid to experiment!

He is not afraid to fail and that is why he succeeds!”

I wonder what Rahman JI’s main source is, he has this childlike passion to always challenge others and most importantly himself! I have not witnessed the passion in other Music Directors Twenty years down the line from his debut, he still ventures into avenues unknown the Indian film music. “Elay Keechan” is a prime example of RAHMAN JI being THE ONLY PIONEER in Indian cinema! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Great post Sunil!! Agree with every word you said except the underlined one to be replaced with "recurring"

Elay keechan is truly a unique composition and a great job by Mr. & Mrs. Karki for the lyrics and translation it does help to love the song in a better way.

I doubt its longevity but I will give full marks to ARR's daring experimentation he mostly comes up with a innovative and pathbreaking no.s Elay keechan is certainly one.

Easily the song of the year for me!! Waiting for the rest of the songs to release :)

This is one song that have seperated Karky from (not his father) but Vaali/Pa.Vijay in this territory. Has anyone other than Vairamuthu written lyrics for Mani films in the last ten films?

This soundtrack turns out to be very earthy and modern with lots of international appeal. Loving it!!

[Roshan]

Ever since Roja, it has always been Vairamuthu for MR movies. This is the first time another Lyricist has written songs for an MR-AR combo.

And regarding your comment about longevity, I felt the same when I first heard Roja songs :)

Looks like that was removed. Did you listen to all samples? What do you think?

[ajaybaskar]

samples are still there,bro

[Guess_Me]

samples are still there,bro

I see only 2 samples there Ajay. That page had 6 songs before Flipkart removed them.

[ajaybaskar]

Oh. I didnt refresh the page and I was able to listen to the samples until I checked if they had been removed.

Chithirai Nila,Moongil thottam and Anbin Vaasalile are melodies with the latter having a majestic choir. Adiye is a jazz number. Magudi is a techno.

[satissh_r]

CHITHIRAI NILA IS EQUALLY MESMERISING. :smokesmile:

[Guess_Me]

CHITHIRAI NILA IS EQUALLY MESMERISING. :smokesmile:

Yup. That is the pick for me, after Nenjukkulle.

I had high hopes for Haricharan's song. With heavy chorus, I think it is a Christian devotional song. I hope he gets a proper romantic duet from ARR in the near future.

Wow! Moongil Thottam is the slow poison. Can't stop now.

And Magudi is reminiscient of Fanaa

[ajaybaskar]

Thanks to Flipkart's mess up, the audio launch is preponed to Dec 15th.

[Guess_Me]

Looks like the long gap in Magudi's MP3 is not limited to Flipkart. Those who bought from iTunes and Nokia store are also saying the same. I hope the CD is fine.

downloaded from itunes... yes there's a long gap towards the end. :-(

[Sunil_M88]

Chithirai Nela

Is the pan flute sound a continuum? Overall, the song has an "Avatar-ish" cum Vangelis sound.

Anbin Vaasale

Jaage Hain anyone? The choir portions sound like Nadhiye Nadhiye from Rhythm!

Magudi Magudi

It doesn't seem fit with the rest of the songs but that might work in its favour. The arrangement is right up my street :)

Moongil Thottam

My favourite track of the album so far! I got a feeling this will be added to the list evergreen duets by Rahman Ji. It's vintage in every way.

Adiye

Please tell me this is a raga based composition. If not then Rahman Ji has certainly put his own subtle Carnatic stamp to it.

These are my initial thoughts and I am not rating it yet but I will this will be another VTV if not better.

Happy listening!

Sunil Malhotra

[Ramakrishna]

Brilliant songs. Can overtake VTV.

[satissh_r]

Adiye is the next Aaromale.. Totally unexpected

[ajaybaskar]

Mahen,

The songs are EXCELLENT. Now I am actually skipping Keechan and Nenjukkulle. Worth the wait!!!

[Sunil_M88]

Is it me or does Haricharan sound like Benny Dayal :confused2:

[ajaybaskar]

Greatest surprise is Vijay Yesudas. Wonderful and soulful crooning.. :clap:
