AR Rahman's up to new tricks, mainly some groovy numbers for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, with a jazz themed title track, finds Rachel Fernandes
The genius has done it again. AR Rahman has come out with yet another winner with his music for the soon-to-be-launched Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, the much talked about launch film of Aamir's nephew Imraan Khan. In the album, Rahman — no novice to singing his own songs — has sung the title track Tu Nole Main Boloon, a peppy jazz tune. A brilliant score accompanied by soft drums, saxophone and other instruments, the track can indeed be called the USP of the album. The other tracks too have a very vibrant and youthful feel to them and can be quite addictive then be it Kabhi Kahi Aditi belted by newcomer Rashid Ali or Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai sung out by Runa. The track Pappu Can't Dance has gone on to become a sort of a college rage. Then there is Kahin To sung by Rashid Ali and accompanied by Vasundara Das. A soft, romantic track with a very soothing feel to it, one can't but help wanting to play it on repeat mode. So is the musician making it a habit of singing his own songs? "Well actually, it's the directors choice, they like my voice and hence," he says very matter of factly. The Aamir Khan-AR Rahman relationship goes back a long way with Rahman having done the music for many of Khan's films including Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Mangal Panday. A name synonymous with good music, Rahman has catered to possibly every genre of Indian movies, be it period films like Jodhaa Akbar, youth centric movies like Rang De Basanti or even cult hits like Lagaan. Talking about how he has managed to sustain himself over such a long period, Rahman says, "It's a nightmare sometimes," and adds, "It's all about teamwork. The good part is I work with different teams and there are different vibrations." Rahman admits that the feeling of 'Oh my God! Such a big movie, how am I going to make the music for this one' is a recurring one for him. "I guess that's why I am so spiritual," he says with a grin. "We sit to work and something happens, whether good or bad. Thankfully, it's mostly been good," he explains. >From Roja to Dil Se, Guru and now Jaane Tu ..., it's been a long journey spanning over a decade for this maestro, who is considered a genius in the Indian music industry. Shy and reclusive, not only has he wowed the Indian audience with his work, Rahman has Hollywood directors raving about his talent with his works like Bombay Dreams and Lord of the Rings. His message for the growing breed of young Indian music directors is to carve their own spots in the industry. Says Rahman, "We should emulate the 60s style of working. There were many excellent music directors but they all co-existed in the industry while each of them maintained their own unique style of making music. It should be like that." http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Client.asp?Daily=TOIM&login=default&Enter=true&Skin=TOI&GZ=T&AW=1213595225343 Thanks to SHOUVIK ( ORKUT ) On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 10:38 AM, nivensamy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > WOW, Isn't this a good reason to be in this group.
