Outcast Vocals

I had thought of jamming some random/popular/rare songs with a bunch of young creative musicians for Rosebowl channel!! I hooked in Suchith and Sidharth who are from the popular band 'Udaan' and an excellent Jazz pianist, Vineet. Bass guitarist of 'Avial', Benny accompanied the team on his guitar and he really must have hated us!!... cos we sort of kept him up all night during the final practice session :) Nevertheless, things went awesome and it took me a while to get the videos and upload them... *TAN TA DAAAAAAN*

Also coming up with name for the show was a huge fun process. We initially came up with Coconut Machans, tuner wardrobe, kappa 'n meen curry, etc.. but finally after the shoot was done, we realized that it didn't turn out to be that funky and was more of classy and suttle numbers, hence the name, 'Outcast Vocals'


This track is Parayan maranna paribhavangal by Pt. Ramesh Narayan and lyrics by Rafeeq sir. Vineet George Panikker has done the backing of this unplugged version.





This one is a very popular ghazal of Hariharanji , Jhoom Le. Backed by Vineet and Benny chettan.





This one is a collage of my two very favourite songs: Ishq ada hai and Thamara noolinal. It was just an attempt !!

You have a great voice. Preserve it at any cost. And all the best for bigger things in future. :)

btw, I have a thought...don't take it critical..it's just n observation that immediately came to my mind when I heard the song..

When you sang "Ishq Ada", it sounds as if Parul Mishra (the original female singer of the song) singing. It sounds a bit imitative. I have heard ARR songs over and over. may be I felt it because of that.

btw, it's not a personal attack. take it as a frank opinion. Just leave it if you think that I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. :)

Emmanuel : Thanks a lot for dropping by and listening to them! And thanks once more for caring to comment so honestly. I have observed your critical take on the video very positively and I'll make sure that I bring a uniqueness whenever I sing.

Emmanuel said...

To be honest, I was so apprehensive to say that in my first comment itself because I felt you might get offended. Happy that you took it positively. And don't take my observation serious. Wish you all the best for future! :)

Beautiful rendition of "Jhoom Le". I simply loved it. You surely have got the talent. I know it is difficult to cut into the playback singing circuit but you definitely need to keep trying.

And hey, sorry for asking, did we interact before on my blog anytime? I have interacted with "Neha Nair" (name sounds very familiar) before but I am unable to recollect when and in which post.

A message.... said...

Some thing in that voice, makes us feel close to home, yet being so far...

U've done justice to Nin Hridaya Mounam...Keeps one yearning for more...To slow down, would be injustice; to stop would be a crime!

Keep doing , what you do the best - allowing us to lose ourselves from our peace-ridden days!
