Another feather in HJ's cap
This song "Vaarayo Vaarayo" seems to be inspired by an old song called "Enge Nimmathi" from the movie Puthiya Paravai. This is just the first impression I got after listening to this song.
Another album, another director .. same actor.. (Suriya Again???) . The last time I made a comment I spoke too soon about Ayan.. being one of his weakest effort.. Atleast I was soo wrong about the Palapalkira song, to listen to the aspiring little kids coming on the singing shows just tells me how much reach HJ has.. Another Album, another success Ayan was no exception either..
Rashid whats with your apology and stuff? What suddenly the 'other' camps has 'sensitive' folks ? What with the reasonsing that somebody has to accept someone being fair becos they appreciated VA.. appreciating VA is telling a dumb buy that he cant speak..? .. VA doesnt need a review!!!!
Has anybody checked out the first 5 pages of this thread.. abuse ..abuse and more abuse ...Lets face it, HJ is the least loved MD in tfmpage. It is as simple as that .. just look at the other threads ..
Ppl will burn thier midnight lamp waiting to post about some producer who said that he likes 'our' MD's songs, when they called them about an album which cant be seen in the market..
Posting stuff about some directors who just happen to take the best from 'our' MD and praying his return to their camp..
Even worse.. quick to throw advices like "Even i hated in the beginning, dont give up ... listen to 100 more times, then you will find out that there are more layers in the music than earth's crust.. blah blah blah ..
and here is HJ he jsut won his filmfare.. his songs rocked TN.. Anjela becomes an anthem .. Vozhi Moodi becomes college mantra... and will wake up to a familair comment " He just lacks Variety .. U1 will the leading MD in tfmpage after ARR" (Im in no way pulling U1 legs..i just saw the thread ..it looks like U1's leading!!!)
Forget U1's fans, even U1 doesnt know when he had his last hit song that swayed TN..yeah granted he has 12 movies lined up .. lets hope lets hope...Im really sorry U1 isnt even in the same orbit as HJ right now.. GVP stormed with AO.. JV made us sway with "Oru vetkam varuthey".. IR breathed life with "Oli tharum Suriyanum" ... and U1?? . Not that it matters to me, let U1 win the poll and hope u all end up sleeping well.
Variety ..?? hmm "Dekho Dekho" will hopefully shut some mouths.. classical .. pop, rap.. rythm.. all in the same song.. are u kidding me.?. has anyone used the guitar like that in a tamil song??!!!
Vaarayo Vaarayo spoiled happily by Unni still feels good.. and Hasile will rock the colleges again...two other songs are average and Masi song is really bad together with this famous gibberish language.. . who knows I may be proved wrong again..But HJ seems to create a trend for opening hero worship songs, whatever happened to the kuthu songs.. Man I really miss the king of Kuthu VS. I think VS more than a melody king will remain to me as a King of Kuthu.. no peers for him int hat department..
One thing I have to give it to HJ.. his recording skills is second to none..the Surround sound was spectacular..
Again IMHO. Other observation looks like like IR thread is active these days what happened to the others..
No man. But it's hard talking in here, when everybody is against you, even one small thing you say, there's 10 people in the your back yelling.Quote:

HI all!!!
After listening to Aadhavan, I think its an ok album...Nothing great to write up. The songs are catchy...Some where you can find the old HJ style popping up in peppy numbers...But there is no surprise factor...Same old beats, tweaked tunes...
For eg. Hasile Fisile is much talked about...In my opinion, other songs in the album are sounding better than Hasile Fisile(barring that Mano number)..The reason is he is simply reusing his same old tunes....
Moreover Hasile Fisile reminds me of HJ's earlier composition "Eh Mugale Mugale" in an Arjun-Lara Dutta movie..
Like that, so many songs are just re-engineered and tweaked...
But overall, its a good album, a sure hit...The one praiseworthy thing in Harris' songs are the guitar usage...Man!!! he rocks there...Be it distortion guitar or bass, he gives his best...
Ayan was better than Aadhavan...May be songs will become hits as soon as movie is released...
Yes... One shud agree with that.. HJ uses the guitars to the best.. Better than the other composers in the scene....
The guitar interlude in Nenjukkul peidhidum is one of my most favourite interludes outside IR/ARR sphere of excellence.. His guitar ludes are indeed good.Quote:

Old tunes, new album!
Hasili Fisiliye...— the popular song in the upcoming Suriya-starrer Aadhavan — might be on everybody’s lips but it has lent credence to the musically-inclined who find music composer Harris Jayaraj repeating his own tunes. The opening lines of the number sound suspiciously like a number he composed for Sathyam (Ada Gada...). And, that’s seeped into the other parts of the song too, which, according to many in the
industry, sounds a lot like Oh Mughalai… from Arjun’s Arasatchi. That’s not all… tunes in the melodious Vaarayo… sound like Un Siripil… (Pachaikili Muthucharam) and Nenje Nenje… (Ayan).
When we asked a leading director about this, he openly stated, “Yes, Harris has been repeating his old tunes.” On the condition of anonymity, he added, “The ‘I’ve-heard-this-before’ feeling is what strikes you when you hear the songs of Aadhavan.” Well, it’s time the Minnale composer went tunehunting…

Music review: Aadhavan (Tamil - Harris Jayaraj)
Posted by: Karthik In: Tamil OST
Hasili fisiliye is typical Harris fare - gibberish opening and a simple, rhythmic pattern; does get addictive after the initial annoyance. Yeno yeno has plain horrendous Tamil pronunciation by Shail and Andrea, with Sudha Ragunathan sadly sandwiched between both; this one and Vaarayo are painful leftovers from Harris’ earlier debacle, Satyam. Damakku is assembly-line and thoroughly irritating, while Dekho dekho is so slow that there are sleep-inducing moments even in between the track! Massi massi is nothing but an unnecessarily rude joke on Harris’ loyal fans. This is Harris’ weakest score and shows he’s taking his earlier success for granted.
Note: I gave a NW1W verdict via the Milliblog twitter feed (http://www.twitter.com/milliblog) for this soundtrack earlier. But, given the number of requests that came in for Aadhavan, its only fair that I give it its 100 words worth of spanking ;-)

The reviewer has told the 'source of inspiration' also...
Enna koduma HARRIS ithu... :roll:
After K V Anand's Ayan, Surya is back with K S Ravikumar's Aadhavan, produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin. Nayanthara [ Images ] is the heroine. Harris Jeyaraj has composed the music to the lyrics of Thamarai, Na Muthukumar and Vaali . Here's what the album has to offer.
Mellow guitar strings begin Yeno Yeno Panithuli, which kind of remind you of an ABBA number but it's soothing, gentle, and does get your attention. The beats are steady, while Shaila Hada, Sudha Raghunathan and Andrea Jeremiah supply the vocals. The sax takes over the interlude, while the charanam sort of meanders from one end of the romantic spectrum to another. The rap segment is appealing, and the number maintains its softness throughout. Not scintillating but a pleasant listen.
The smooth, romantic number Aaraayo Vaaraayo, of Unni Krishnan and Chinmayi make you think you're listening to Gimme Gimme (another ABBA hit) as the subtle notes of a piano reach you first. Strains of Nenje Nenje can be heard as well in the charanam. It is mildly pleasing to the ear, but still, very familiar. The violin interlude is intensely bewitching, and some of its appeal continues into the charanam as well. You can't help feeling as though you've stumbled, sometimes, into a late eighties album. It might grow on you as you listen to it a couple of times but the credit for that would have to go to the instrumental music, and not the vocals.
Sandhya and Suvi Suresh begin Dheko Dheko, which harks back to the Rahatulla number from Ghajini [ Images ] and that pretty much says everything about this one. The lyrics are a mishmash of don't-care attitude (which grows tedious after a while) and liberal doses of rap. The pace is slow and steady, while the charanam suddenly morphs into an old-fashioned melody. It should have been mesmerising but somehow, its not. The veena interlude is sort of the saving grace of this number, but that's pretty much all you can say about it.
You can't really help it if the notes of a harmonica automatically remind you of Paartha Mudhal Naale, but there the resemblance ends. Benny Dayal takes up the reigns to render this one, and it's supposedly a happy-go-lucky song. The notes are stale, the beat only mildly interesting and the lyrics are all about winning the earth, the sky and the whole universe, come to think of it. A run-of-the-mill number.
Maasi Maasi is one of those songs which make you wish you had a universal translator device to make sense of the words, which sound like something straight out of an African ballad! Mano's deep voice supplies the vocals in company of Mega who certainly uses hers at full strength. The tribal echoes continue, but there's nothing haunting about it. It's a plain, beat-driven, and oft-heard.
After a list of mediocre numbers comes Hasili Fisiliye (you wish you knew what that meant), yet another romantic number, rendered by Harini and Karthik. After a few moments, you almost fall asleep. Which says much for its appeal.
Harris Jeyaraj is one of those composers who is not capable of turning out bad stuff even on a bad day, but this is one of those albums you can smell mediocrity from a mile away. Looks like Harris Jeyaraj is caught in the recycling rut. Yes, there are brief flashes of inspiration, but they last only moments.
Rediff Rating: **
Right from the start, Harris has started to tweak his own tunes and he has used in his movies..Moreover he is unable to change his style. Same old beats, slow songs with occassional brilliant song(off course due to his guitar usage)..Be it bass,acoustic or electric guitar he is the best in the current lot now....HJ formula is simple...Soft and slow music,one semi classical song, heard before tunes,soulful guitars,same beats,occassional rap thrown in..He needs to break the pattern..
But to sustain further, he has to change his style or accept offbeat movies like village subjects....His earlier so called village subject movies did not carry authentic village sounds...All were electronica music...
May be he needs to take a break and compose for fresh subjects...
aathavan song fetch bad reviews
something never expected from the great
music director Harris Jayaraj. The recent audio release of ‘Aadhavan’ turned spotlights of entire town to heed for the melodies. However, soon after hearing, the masses were enraged as Harris Jayaraj had loosely inserted his old own compositions. It’s more illustrious with ‘Hasiliye Fisiliye’ that is nothing but ‘Ada Gada’ from Satyam and ‘Oh Mohalai’ from ‘Arasaaktchi’. ‘Vaarayo’ reminds us off nothing but ‘Un Sirpinil’ from Pacchaikili Muthucharam and ‘Nenje Nenje’ from Ayan.
Earlier, Harris Jayaraj used to add the words from Christian prayer songs…. The exemplification lies with ‘Mudhal Naal Indru’ from ‘Unnale Unnale’ where you will hear ‘Hosanna…Hosanna’. Likewise, the song ‘Oru Maalai’ from ‘Ghajini’ has ‘Alleluia’…
Well, the ‘Minnale’ song – Vaseegara was nothing but a strong base of A.R. Rahman’s ‘Pudhu Vellai Malai’ as we hear the instrumental on flute.

Suriya, Jo unite Goutham, Harris
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, September 10, 2009]
Believe it or not, Tamil film industry grapevine has it that a recent dinner party hosted by Suriya and Jyothika has united the Goutham Menon-Harris Jayaraj duo, which witnessed a break after an eight-year long successful partnership.
If sources are to be believed, the actor couple, whose career graph touched great heights after Kakkha Kakkha, directed by Goutham and music composed by Harris, decided to smoke the peace-pipe between the filmmaker and music composer.
As a result, they arranged for a dinner, for which they invited Goutham without mentioning that Harris is going to take part and invited Harris without telling him that Goutham is going to attend.
Both Harris and Goutham were initially shocked to meet each other at the dinner. They however exchanged pleasantries after a short while and were seen chatting for a long time, it is said. When the party came to an end, they reportedly left the place with all smiles, thanking Suriya and Jo for coming up with such an idea and implementing it.
Goutham and Harris, who worked together ever since they started their career with Minnale, parted ways during Varanam Aayiram, starring Suriya. A R Rahman is the music composer for the forthcoming two projects of Goutham- Vinnaithandi Varuvaya and Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkalam.
Its funny no 1 did all these when Shankar and A.R.Rahman parted awhile for Anniyan...Quote:

In the latter, there was NO split at all (in terms of any difference of opinion).. Shankar himself told in many interviews during Anniyan release that ARR was too busy by then.. he could NOT rope him for that project... he just went to HJ as an alternative...
whereas HJ-GM, there was a split during VA composing... what I heard from reliable sources was.. Harris composed the song 'Adiye Kolluthe' for VA which GM also liked very much.. but GM cannot fit this song in the VA's screenplay... but Harris insisted to have this song to be picturised in the moviw... he was damn sure abt the success of this song..
also, if you remember correctly, 'Adiye kolluthe' song was first released as a solo song before releasing the entire album.. (something similar to Lesa Lesa song from the same movie).. The response was excellent which forced GM to picturize this song in the movie.. this might have irked some problems.. also if you would have seen any recent interviews, GM told that only HJ decided NOT to work with him... he is ready to patch with him again...

If David Letterman were to compile top 10 reasons that you know that you love ARR too much and become a sore loser, this would top it...
Well maybe not.. ANAND may come up with the best one.. how about Minnale song copied from ARR wake up alarm !!! get a life guyz...
And whats with the christian references..???? what is he trying to do here??? The other day I was wondering what "Aadi Mahamaayi" was being used in Ada Gada Da song..so anybody else going to jump on some religious bs..
Please whoever it is.. if somebody knows him ask him to chill down .. I know he is hurting from the unconditional apology letter written by many like him for VA.. tell him this is not the time nor the place.... tell him that HJ is here to stay ...
And the other ARR fanatics!!,
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
keep em coming!!!...
sloshed, what do you say about Partha Mudhal Naale :lol2:
jaaze...
Yeah I got some pretty nice things to say about the song.. the most popular song in VV.. probably the one which stayed on channels for a loong time... and with your smiley content i am assuming you want me to comment on the references of "Jesu Azhaikiran" song? ..
Have you even heard the song.. ?? So there you go ..absolutely no insinuations!! ...
