The Oscar fever may have died down but that hasn’t deterred Isai Puyal AR Rahman’s fans from dedicating an album to the accomplishments of Amish and Rodneythe composer.
Thamizha Oscar Thamizha is just that — a tribute to Oscar winner Padmashri AR Rahman. “It was the three magical words Ella Pughazhum Iraaivanukke, that Rahman uttered at the Oscars ceremony that led to the launch of Thamizha Oscar Thamizha. This is our second album after Isaikaatru. It’s a collection of five songs — Nitham Pala Vetri, Ulaga Arangil Nee, Tamizhgu Sondhaman, Far Above The World and an instrumental piece. They are based on different themes — celebration, success and inspiration. And the best part is that each song in the album is penned by a different lyricist,” begins Amish Kumar, the creative head of the album. “We decided to write the lyrics in Tamil as it would then appeal to a larger audience. After sixty years of independence, Thamizha Oscar Thamizha has a different approach to patriotism, that’s blended with the celebration at this year’s Oscars,” says Ponmurugesan, one of the lyricists of the album. And these young musicians are all praise for the musical genius. “AR Rahman has proved that good musictranscends boundaries, languages and mindsets. We have created the album to celebrate the double win at the Oscars,” says Rodney J, music director of Thamizha Oscar Thamizha. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4948291.cms “We have roped in some of the big names in the film industry including Haricharan, Keith Peters and Rahul Nambiar so that the album also has a mass appeal. The album has already hit the stands and is getting a good response,” winds up Amish Kumar.
