Eenam!!! First online malayalam album released.


Malayalam bloggers join hands with Malayalamsongslyrics to create the first online Malayalam album! A brave initiative by a group of music lovers who took the challenge of providing good quality music freely to common man! An all time dream come true for those who withhold nostalgic memories of delightful Malayalam songs.

Eenam is conceived with a set of well defined objectives. These include providing a stage for talented singers who wishes to reach a wider audience; being an alternate media for those adept writers who otherwise confines to their blogs or notebooks and functioning as a creative common platform for budding music directors. Working towards these goals, we request each and every Malayalam music lovers' generous cooperation and support.

We do not claim the first release is perfect. Inspired by the poetic fancy of a single world and supported by modern technology that almost nullifies the distances between minds; these songs are conceptualized by a set of dedicated people from different locations of the world, who had never met each other. We realize that this could have led to deficiencies. We seek all well-wishers valuable advice and guidance to circumvent all such issues in future endeavors. It was a memorable experience to have realized it in a short period and with that pleasure, we cordially welcome you to the first release of Eenam.
മലയാളം ബ്ലോഗേ­ഴ്സും മലയാള­ഗാന­ശേഖ­രവും കൈ­കോർ­ക്കുന്ന മലയാള­ത്തിലെ ആദ്യ സ്വതന്ത്ര­സം­ഗീത സം­രം­ഭം! ആസ്വാദ്യ­കര­മായ ഗാന­ങ്ങൾ സൗജന്യ­മായി ജന­ങ്ങളി­ലേ­ക്കെത്തി­ക്കുക എന്ന വെല്ലു­വിളി ഏറ്റെ­ടു­ത്തു കൊണ്ട് രംഗ­ത്തിറ­ങ്ങിയ സംഗീ­ത പ്രേമി­കളു­ടെ സംഗമം! ആർദ്ര­മായ ഗാന­ങ്ങ­ളെ എന്നും ഗൃഹാ­തുര­ത്വ­ത്തോ­ടെ മന­സ്സിൽ സൂക്ഷി­ക്കു­ന്ന സ്വദേശ-­വിദേശ മല­യാളി­കളു­ടെ ചിര­കാല സ്വപ്ന സാക്ഷാ­ത്കാ­രം!

ഒന്നല്ല, അനേകം വ്യക്ത­മായ ഉദ്ദേശ ലക്ഷ്യ­ങ്ങളോ­ടെ­യാണ് “ഈണം” മുന്നി­ട്ടിറ­ങ്ങു­ന്നത്. കഴി­വുള്ള ഗായ­കർ­ക്ക്, തങ്ങ­ളുടെ ശബ്ദം പുറം­ലോക­ത്തേ­ക്കെ­ത്തി­ക്കു­

Blogswara-5 released!!!!!

Hi folks,
Blogswara has released its fifth volume!!!!
This time I have sung the song 'chempaka pooviriyum' composed by Nishanth mani and lyrics by Sreeja. Its a very romantic song. It was a great experiance working with the whole team. This is the second time I am working with them. Thank you all. Keep rocking as always.

Blogswara (http://www.blogswara.in) is an internet music community which acts as a common platform for musicians (a majority of whom are amateurs) to showcase their talent before the world by producing original music and share it over the internet. It is also a free-music movement where visitors/listeners can listen and download the mp3 files free of cost. So far we have released 4 internet albums and Blogswara Version 5 is scheduled to be released by the year end. The songs are in multiple languages and so far we have had songs in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. People from abroad have also shown interest in Blogswara. There is an American musician, who plays Sitar, will be working for this year’s album.
Blogswara proves that people, wherever they are or whatever languages they speak, can come together for a cause - here the cause being music. And the digital age has made it easy for them to meet each other and collaborate. Many of the individual musicians who have appeared in Blogswara have not seen each other in the real world but they are still able to collaborate. Human spirit is what drives Blogswara. Like the Blogswara tagline (United in Music) says here people unite in music.

kannin vaathil chaarathe from Mulla!!


Dear Friends,

Here I post a song after a long gap. I was busy with my final exams and projects. The projects are still not over yet.
Recently I got a new online friend whose name is Charu Sitaraman, who has a cute son named Nikhil. I lately came to know that she had been following my blog for quite a long time. I was really happy to hear this. Here I dedicate this song exclusively for Nikhil mon hoping he will enjoy this rendition of mine. The actual request was for another thaaraattu song which I will be doing soon, but immediatly when I got my first mail from Charu chechi this song from Mulla struck my mind and was really wanting to sing it for her cute son :).


Film: Mulla
