Soulful Malayalam SOlos VOl7

MB Sreenivasan gave excellent scores to SJ and one significant feature in his compositions to her was minimal(or at times no) Back ground music. “Ettumanoor Ambalathil” from Oppol for which she won her 2nd National Award falls under this category. He composed two versions of this song – One with background music and other with no BGM. She was awarded for presenting the song in perfect tune without any help of instrumentation. They came together with similar experiment in “Oru vattam Koodiyen”. He was one music director who worked with SJ right from her beginning days till mid 80’s.

MS Viswanthan gave more memorable tunes to S Janaki in Malayalam compared to Tamil. SJ won Kerala state Award in his music too. “Aa Nimishathinte” can be termed as one of best from this combination which is covered in Vol 1. He also experimented with no BGM for a comparatively challenging song in “Marmaram” movie.

Ilayaraja’s first preference was SJ in Malayalam also as in any other language. This team gave wonderful melodies, though lesser in number compared to other languages. Songs like En Poove Pon Poove, Poovadikalil, Thumbi vaa, Veene Veene remained as All Time Hits !

Enjoy melodies of SJ in entirely three different styles of compositions from MB Sreenivasan, MS Viswanathan and Ilayaraja in this compilation. Best of SJ in their combination is covered in earlier compilations. So Please refer to those compilations also for more songs and stay tuned for songs of SJ in different combinations!!
