Malayalam Ghazal Album On Its Way...

I am happy to announce that a Malayalam Ghazal album is going to be released soon. Since I am doing an album of my own for the first time, I was very much particular about the fact that it should be composed by none other that my own Guru and the musical genius Perumbavoor G Ravindranath. I have been talking about this album with my Guru for a long time, even before I appeared on Idea Star Singer 2007. Due to busy schedules and other factors we kept it postponing. And since this is a Ghazal album, my Guru told me that the lyrics has to be there before composing. The lyrics for this album comes from 'Thankan Thiruvattar' who has been the lyricist for the film 'Saphalam' and quite a number of albums as well. When Perumbavoor G Sir called me one day and told that the songs are ready, I went to Trivandrum and heard them. Since then I am hearing and practicing them as he told me that I need to try and improvise a lot . The kind of melody and variety that Perumbavoor G Ravindranath produces in his compositions are amazing. One could understand why his compositions in 'Thoovanathumpikal','Innale',Sneham' etc are evergreen. The compositions for this album are very promising and I am very much excited to render them.

We are planning to start recording by mid of December. Also I am excited to say that a female playback singer too would be singing in this album. Till now we have not decided on the release date of this venture. I will update the blog about the happenings very frequently.
