Deva - Loreena McKennitt - Yuvan Shankar Raja

• “Engenge Engenge” song from “Nerukku Ner” by Deva is one of my very favorite songs.

• The prelude to the song is something exceptional.But the bitter truth is that the best part of the prelude(What i felt) is actually not deva’s original.It’s taken from Loreena McKennitt’s outstanding piece of music “Full Circle” from the album “The Mask and the Mirror”.

• Every song from the album “Nerukku Ner” by Deva has some shades of inspirations from other composers.Let’s talk about it later.

• Listen to the great piece of music “Full Circle” by Loreena McKennitt here.(Released in 1994).

• Here is the song “Engenge Engenge” from Nerukku Ner by Deva.(Released in 1997).

• Though a small piece(say a sample) from the original is used by Deva for that song, the impact made by that small piece on the song is great (In My Opinion).

• One more interesting thing i forgot to mention-Another song “The Mystic’s dream” from the same album “The mask and the Mirror” by Loreena McKennitt is used by deva for the prelude to “Engenge Engenge”.

• At the start of the prelude to “Engenge Engenge” you can hear a female voice(Low tone) and it is more like Loreena’s “The Mystic’s Dream” if i am right.

• Hear the wonderful piece of music “The Mystic’s dream” by Loreena here.

• How do you like this music? IMO, “The Mystic’s dream” also reminds me of Yuvan’s background music style(in 7g Rainbow Colony, Kadhal Kondaen or Thulluvadho Ilamai).Whats your opinion guys?

• We should appreciate Deva sir for this song “Engenge Engenge”.The prelude is sampled from two of Loreena’s songs.Then What about the interludes,Pallavi and charanams?You may ask? Only God(if exists) and Deva Knows.

• Please rate this post and comment if possible.Thank you guys.See you later.

Jennifer Lopez - Yuvan Shankar Raja

• Yuvan Shankar Raja has come out with a pleasing album “Paiyaa” this year. Though the songs are very catchy, some quantity of “recycling his own tunes” is clear in this album.

• And one more thing, The song titled “Poongatrae Poongatrae” sounds very much similar to “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopez.A clear case of Inspiration is visible throughout the song.

• The interesting thing here – “Waiting for Tonight” song is originally tuned or recorded by “3rd Party“(a dance-pop team of 3 members) for their Album titled “Alive” in the year 1997.It was later remade as “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopez for her album titled “On the 6″ in the year 1999.

• Listen to the song “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopez here.

• Here is the song “Poongatrae Poongatrae” by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

• I can’t find the song “Waiting for Tonight” by 3rd party in Internet.I am sorry.

• Though inspiration is visible in some parts, The song “Poongatrae Poongatrae” is very good and catchy IMO.

Yuvan - R Kelly - G V Prakash

• Oh My God, It’s been a long time since my last post.I am extremely sorry.

• You guys may notice the similarities between “Adadaa Vaa” by Yuvan Shankar Raja and “Un Mela Aasa” by G V Prakash Kumar.They are almost same tunes.

• I happened to hear a song which has a striking resemblance with Adadaa vaa(or Un Mela Aasa).At least to me..What do you think guys?

• The song is “Thoia Thoing” by R.Kelly released in 2003.

• Listen to the songs “Adadaa Vaa” by Yuvan and “Un Mela Aasa thaan” by G V Prakash Kumar here..

• “Azhagai Pookudhey” song is my pick from this album though the pallavi sometimes reminds me of an Ilayaraja song from “Krishnan Vandhaan”.

• “Sexy Lady” song from Ninathale Inikkum movie has been telecasted now and then in Sun and Kalaignar TV.

• It reminds me of “Jigiru thaanda” song from “Machakaran” .Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

• Listen to the song “Jiguru Thaanda” from Machakaran here.

• Enya -The first album released by Irish singer Enya in the year 1987.

• “Boadicea” is my pick of the album.Its simply nice to hear.I like it very much.

• Some parts of “Thathi Thathi” soundtrack from Kadhal Kondaen Movie is heavily inspired(or influenced) by Enya’s “Boadicea”.Hence,We got a Tamil song equivalent to Boadicea.

• To be more Clear , here is the soundtrack “Thathi Thathi” from Kadhal Kondaen movie released in the year 2003.
