> Rehman has had his favourites over the years ââ¬" Hariharan and
Sukhwindara Singh come to mind instantly. But every once in a while,
he has made an inspired choice that completely transforms a number
from good to great. These aren't conventional voices, and wouldn't
work for most songs. But you cannot imagine how certain songs would
sound if sung by someone else. Here are my top five picks in this
category (links attached, in case you wanna lusten to them):
> 5. Raasaathi (Thiruda Thiruda): My favourite song in that album.
Also, one of the songs that Shahul Hameed is best remembered for,
other than Usilampatti pennkutti in Gentleman. Other than probably a
base guitar somewhere in the background (and I'm not even sure about
that), this song is a capella, with a lot of humming in the
background and Shahul's plaintive voice in the lead. (Listen here)
> 4. Chikubukku chikubukku rayile (Gentleman): Basically, this one
makes the grade because of how it reinvents Tamil pronunciation. If
someone spoke the language like that in my presence, I would have to
physically restrain myself from punching his lights out, but the
songââ¬Â¦ well, I can't imagine any other way to sing it. (Listen here)
> 3. Lukka Chhuppi (Rang De Basanti): I love Lata Mangeshkar, okay?
My dad's an old Hindi film music buff, so I grew up listening to her.
But hearing her sing Jiya Jale in Dil Se was the musical equivalent
of seeing Rajni romance Deepika Padukone. Her voice sounded tired,
strained, and clearly much older than the woman being depicted on
screen. To me, that song is one of Rehman's eminently forgettable
choices. But Lukka Chhuppiââ¬Â¦ who else could have conveyed Waheeda
Rehman's heartbreak at losing her son so well? The opening lines are
simple enough: We've played enough hide and seek/Now come out and
show yourself. The tune isn't exactly a sad one either. But the
evident ageing of Lata's voice and the tragedy being depicted on
screen make it what it is. I don't think there are too many instances
where Lata's voice would qualify as unconventional, but my guess is
that most music directors would've ended up using a much younger
voice here. Rehman chose well,
> and it made all the difference. (Listen here)
> 1. Vidai kodu engal naade (Kannathil Muthamittal): The scene
depicts a village of Sri Lankan Tamils being evacuated before the
airforce bombs the place into oblivion. No matter what your politics,
the sight a bunch of people leaving the place they had called home
for so many years is, you will agree, heart-rending. The lyrics
convey a sense of loss that remains with you long after the movie has
ended. But what truly elavates the song is the quality of M S
Viswanathan' s voice. You don't hear finely modulated sorrow, but
something raw and visceral. (Listen here)
