Singer Sithara Krishnakumar launches her new song, ‘Chaayapaattu’

Two-time State Award winner singer Sithara Krishnakumar’s band, named Project Malabaricus, has been enjoying quite a bit of fan following for their original tracks, for a while. The 10-member band’s latest production is named ‘Chaayapaattu’ and Sithara shared it on her social media page recently. The song is interestingly written by Muhsin Parari, who directed the movie ‘KL10 Pathu,’ and also scripted ‘Virus’ and ‘Sudani From Nigeria.’ The song is composed by Sithara herself.
Sharing the song on her pages, Sithara wrote, ‘This is ‘Chaayapattu.’ It is written by Muhsin Parari, and was ‘painfully’ born during a chat session. Big thanks to Sreenath who played harmonium, Ramu who edited it, Ashwin who added the lines and boosted up the video, and Gopichettan who captured it feeling sorry for me while I was dealing with it all with my phone and a glass of black tea.’ Interestingly, the visuals of the song’s video are by composer – singer – actor Gopi Sundar.
Project Malabaricus is a 10-member band and Sithara, who had also turned a composer in movies recently, has called it a musical series listing tracks that don’t belong to any one genre of music. The songs of Project Malabaricus are composed by Sithara and singer Mithun Jayaraj, with whom she had composed songs for the movie Udalaazham - the film which was produced under the banner – a doctor's collective which included her husband Dr. Sajish M. She had also done a cameo appearance last year in the Mammootty-starrer movie ‘Gaanagandharvan.’ Her most recent songs in movies are for ‘Bhoomiyile Manohara Swakaryam’ and ‘Kappela.’
