This was a peppy duet number in the music direction of Harris Jayaraj.Her first duet with Hariharan "Oddiyaanam" from the movie Arul composed again by Harris Jayaraj was a super hit chart buster and she had finished recording for the song in just 20 mins. She was spotted by Director Bala while singing chorus for the movie Nandha in Yuvan shankar raja music. He liked her voice and made her to sing a full song in the same movie. "Kanaa Kaanum Kalangal "from the movie 7G Rainbow Colony gave her a critical acclaim.

"ISAI CAFÉ" shows that she did along with her sister Charulatha for RAJ TV was a worldwide success.
