Legendary Carnatic musician and singer M.S. Subbulakshmi passed away a little more than a year ago but she till lives in the hearts of music lovers. Going a step further, K.S. Chitra is paying a unique tribute to this great musician by rendering nine kritis and bhajans of MS. She also has tried her best to be faithful to her by rendering in MS' style.

Chitra said in the a short tribute at the beginning of the album that she grew up listening to MS' heavenly voice like millions of other music lovers. She has included kritis and bhajans that MS used to conclude her concerts like "Broohi Mukundeti... ", "Bhavayami Gopalabalam... ", "Kaattrinile varum...", "Bhavayami Raghuramam..." and "Kurai onrum illai...".

The use of various instruments has provided modern touch to all these songs. People who have listened to MS' concerts several times with traditional 'kutcheri' instruments as backup may not enjoy this album. However, the beauty of these songs grows in you the more you listen to them.
