Malayalam song "Kadappurathoru kalyaanam" from an obscure movie SMS (2008). It is highly unfair and a pity that such GREAT compositions of IR go totally unnoticed.

A Middle-Eastern themed romantic duet with super-addictive prelude and interludes, featuring the sweet and youthful vocals of Manjari and Madhu Balakrishnan. Most probably, a wedding-based situation. Bet you cannot stop listening to it once you have heard it. And then it sticks to your mind so much that it refuses to leave (as with most pieces of IR music).

The defunct Maha2014 channel had this song. Luckily, it is still available now:

One of the rarest gems of IR for Mollywood. His Malayalam numbers are always in a different plane altogether. This one is such a soul-healer; IR's soulful vocals is an added advantage. Sadly, it fell in a highly-unfamiliar movie.

The uploader Adithya's Rewind Retro has amazing content - only IR music!

"Ponathevide" from the 2008 Malayalam movie SMS (featuring another gem "Kadappurathoru" mentioned in the previous post):

A peaceful Carnatic song of IR that would make the Trinity feel proud!

Most songs are sung by IR, arranged and produced by him. With IR being the lyricist too (for the entire album), he IS undoubtedly the GREATEST and the FINEST of all the composers ever known.

"Maathru boodheshwari" (Raagam: Sarangatarangini) from the IR's devotional album "Guru Ramana Geetham" in the pleasing vocals of Bombay Jayashri.

I feel IR has used BJ and Sudha Raghunathan to their fullest vocal potential. Nithyashree's 3 songs for IR are unreleased; so we do not know how does her voice sound in IR's music.
