Ninna Nenapu

(Field of) associations, references, (dis)connections, perceptions (part/whole) that Ninna Nenapu album evokes - relevant and not-so-relevant

*-Alaipayuthe (Pacha Nirame)

-Minnale (Vaseegara)

-Kaakha Kaakha (Uyirin Uyire, Ondra Renda, Thodhu Varuma).

---------------------

* Among unself-conscious, casual (untrained?) listeners: younger lot could take to Suchitra's songs (except Kalla Bekkanthe?), older/elderly - Nitin's, Supriya, Kalavathi. The young say Suchitra's songs are filmy,peppy, dancy,playful, bindass, and the older/elderly see Nitin and co' songs as peaceful, emotional, moving, nostalgic, relaxing, restrained; Suchitra's songs modern and Nitin's traditional.

----------------------

* That album on a larger plane is divided between or characterised by fundamentally two moulds/frames/moods/styles - Suchitra on one hand and Nitin on the other. The songs/mood/pace infact follow in that order one after the other and acquire a pattern?
