Finished listening to the entire album - Just one line to describe
MX is AWESOME, BRILLIANT Stuff - many many Thanks to Padma Shri Kamal Hassan to have brought out the unique Raaja yet again
and critics of Sonu Nigam's voice are sure to rethink/change their opinion after listening to this album - impressive effort
Oh ma...n This guy never retires is it?!!! :D
Ive never waited so tensely for any other album of IR.... and the waiting was worth it :D
thanx Mumbaixpress
are you releasing the songs over net officially?
even if not, never worry mumbaixpress team everyone will buy this album after listening to it. me for sure. would love to hear these from original CD in a high blown stereo player.
i find myself awestruck to write a review about this album :( the music is highly trendy and its giving me a new experience who had been listening to raja for 29 years.
the pick of the album should be yaele nee ettipo, kurangu kayil malai and poo poothathu,and these are the only three nos. in the album :) while vandhe matram is a bit chorus song retaining the original tune from the film 'Anand mut' and gaining pace at the end of the song. there is also two theme musics.
theme music 1- 5.04 mins highlights the life at 'mumbai' i presume. let me check out the visuals later. the music explains the life at mumbai as modern,trendy embracing all who comes to her, adding on another layer of satire, with its underworld kingdom, corruption et all and the peoples life living over platforms and dwelling in slums,. the red light areas, the fun and frolic over there the underlying sadness in their life. oh god this is a perfect musical tour of mumbai.
theme music 2- 3.24 mins this takes us deep into some mystery and adventure and while we are at it stupified, gives us a breath of fresh air and journeys into calmness and love and a feeling of alls well that ends well
the songs are too trendy and i cant stop tapping my foot for yaele ne ettipo and kurangu kayil malai. the songs are like something we have never heard from Raja. with all those saxofone trumpets and drums raja has transcedended into something new and if this is what he is gonna be, There will be no one to beat him for another 20-30 years.kamal sings both songs while he has someone else along with him singing in kurangu kayil malai[ is it shaan?]. listening to the interludes i feel its rich in format intricately woven patterns of drums sounding jamaican or mexican!? and sax sounding WCM and added with layers of trumpets, piano, guitars all making a complete world music. this one particular interlude from Kurangu kayil.. is enough to prove how deep is Raja's knowledge of world music - which has got nothing to do with 'loops' or 'softwares' :)
next he takes us to soft melody with 'poo poothathu' where he excels always, this time no tabla- well he uses synthesizers and piano to sizzle our brain and sooth the mind. the humming of male voice 'nananana nananana' and 'yayayaya..' is something listening to which we can say 'this is not Raja'. he never stops amusing us isnt it. yes this is Raja.Sonu nigam is male performer and i doubt the female to be Bhava?.Sonu nigam has got perfect control over the language and he has delivered the feel of the song too in perfect manner.
how far is mumbaixpress from annakili...?
how far has Raja travelled?
traversing all musical forms and still seeking to find the soundless space.
well till then we are breathless and speechless before his musical genius.
poo poothathu is THE song of this wonderful album..wow!
p say it is the song of the season !
Can any one give me the URL of ME songs?
In chennai, in which theatres ME going to release?
Yappa- what junk!! I wasted my broadband bandwidth downloading this crap!! Is the same IR who gave a gem in Bharathi!! Songs look like as if Sirpy or SA.Rajkumar has composed!! Better luck next time!!
