As sweet as Sakkarakati
When debutant director Kalaa Prabhu approached music composer AR Rahman to compose music for Sakkarakatti, the latter was sceptical.
¡°I¡¯m busy with other projects,¡± he said and added, ¡°I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll be able to do full justice to it.¡± Kalaa Prabhu handed him a note with six Hindi songs and just asked Rahman to ¡°Tamilise¡± them.
¡°That would be cheating my listeners,¡± said Rahman, and after listening to the script thoroughly, gave Kalaa some beautiful tunes.
The high-profile audio release of Sakkarakatti, held recently at a city multiplex, was well-attended by celebrities of the film fraternity.
Veteran directors like K Balachander and SP Muthuraman wished the debutant director, who is producer Kalaipuli Thanu¡¯s son, the best of luck for the film. Sakkarakati also also marks the debut of Shanthnoo Bhagyaraj, son of renowned film personality Bhagyaraj.
Director Bharathiraja had the audience in splits when he said that he would make Rahman act in his next film. Realising that some members of the audience were laughing, he said, ¡°It¡¯s difficult to get tunes from him, but I will surely make him act in a movie soon!¡±
I guez this album wud create history..
A best album given by Rahman after Boys..
A fabulous stuff.. watt songs.. nearly 500 times I have listened all songs are good..
1."Eley" Waata classy composition. . I felt its a better version than "roobaroo"RDB which has more of an Irish Jazz touch..I feel this bcz Roobaroo has a simple scale transition.. The harmonica and violin are said to be perfectly rendered.. The acoustic guitar scale transition in the "Eley" when it is repeated seems to be an outta world progression. . No tamil or hindhi song has such a transition, I find a mixture of Jazz &Blues genres.. The lyrics seems to very suitable for the tune it carries away anybody to 500 yrs from now..
2."Marudani" This song is gonna be the song of the year.. The melody, the tune and freshness it has in it can beat any track. The loop seems to be very unique and new. The important point is that the tracks tune overlooks the orchestration. . The first Piano interlude starting of with a major transition just flows in ur mind straight away and the middle parah's highlight seems to be our Rahmanji's humm it comes in fades away within phew secs.. the song's lyrics is said to be very colorful based on the tradition of a gurl and her love..
3."Naan Epothu" This song would capture anybody in the first listen.. Watta tune man it kills anybody with its feel.. The best part is that the remade lyrics suits well in tamil.. I feel this song seems to be different in tamil .. The lyrics and feel made me cry.. I simply love it..
4."Chinnama" This song seems to be a pure south Indian composition. . It makes anybody to dance.. A next "Chayya Chayya" in the making.. The voice of Benny seems to be better than that of Sukhwinder and Chinmaye I doubt whether it was her voice bcz it was totally different from "I miss u da" this shows her versitalty. This song wud be a mass hitt.. The lyrics and tune seems to be even more better in tamil..
5. "Taxi Taxi" This song a pure youth anthem on the cards.. The track has an international ffeel..It has spanish & french lyrics..The backgrounds pads and bass seems to be the best part of the song..
The song has French lyrics..
il faut que je me depeche parce qu'on m'attend au chennai
il faut que j'aille prendre le taxi ¨¤ Paris
It means "it is necessary that I myself depeche because one awaits me to the chennai i must will take the taxi to Paris"
Another main part is the lyrics on friendship..
6. "I miss u da"
The song tune is of 50's but the song's beat and orchestration seems to be trance and a bit of arabic in the interludes.. The song is like a dream .. nobody could imagine an orchestration this way..
tamil ppl.. will know more regarding this sorta compositions. .I guezz Well bcz .. These kinda songs where given by MS.Viswanathan in the past 1950's, tracks like "Maalai Pozhundhin Mayakam" which is considered to be a super hit in the 50's which is too of the same kinda genre. I feel he is trying out new style of compositions like bringing out old 50's music touch with a new unique kinda orchestration. . Well!! tracks like "Mayail Iragae","thigu thigu","Munbae Va", "Inisaai", "Thazhuvadhu" , "Maja Maja" will all come under this catogory.. The track "thottal poo malarum" new was too a track of M.S.Viswanathan re-tuned version of Rahman..
Tamil ppl like these kinda songs bcz the old type feel is still considered to be evergreen.. And since it has been softwares dominating the period of time.. Well, Rahmanji is trying something to look back, i.e to look back to old music which is said to be lost..
I feel this could be a trend change.. Soon there would be a demand for these kinda songs..
Whenever i listen to this i find something new.. It grows on one slowly...
-Normally I wud not get completely satisfied.. with an ARR album.. but this album seems to be something above, it seems to be more than expectations. . This album would surely be noticed for many more years to come.. Sure that its gonna create a history.. Rahmanji has done his best ever..
Lets hope the best & pray for the Director to equalize the expectations & standards something creative in his videos.. Bcz the video would play an important role to make the songs familiar among ppl..

Sakkarakkatti is worth a listen

"A musical treat from A R Rahman!" shouts out the message that comes with the Tamil movie Sakkarakkatti (Lump of Sugar), produced by Kalaippuli S Thaanu, and starring debutant Santhanu, the offspring of talented director K Bhagyaraj.
The story revolves around five friends who grow up together -- and then, at the right time, love blooms between the hero and heroine. What will win the final round: friendship or love? That's the question this movie (hopefully) seeks to answer.
In the meantime, the makers promise a feast of music for this romantic film. So let's see if the soundtracks deliver the promise.
Taxi ...Taxi... rendered by Benny Dayal, Blaaze, Viviane, and Javed Ali starts off with a Hindi hip-hop tune and a thumping beat that lets the singers extol the virtues of friendship. Apparently, as per the lyrics of Na Muthukumar, Blaaze and Viviane, a good friend is a lot like a taxi in your hour of need. With a bout of synthesised music interspersed with Viviane singing in some unknown language (French?) combined with weird sounds that make you giggle, the song proceeds at the same steady pace, but the tune makes you sway lazily, and when it ends, with a regulation mixture of rap, English verses and sounds, you're quite caught up in it.
Marudaani ...begins with a 80-esque music with Madhushree's melodious humming. This one is a lot like Rahman's previous romantic numbers, harking right back to the Pudhiya Mugam times, with piano music mingling with the tunes, and Vaali, with his extensive experience in romantic songs has fallen back on it. Henry and Rahman have produced a continuation of the humming from the first few moments, while Madhusri takes up from where she left off, ending with the sound of anklets jingling away. On the whole, a ho-hum number.
I Miss you Da...is up next. With what you can only assume is either the a) the name of the hero, b) an equally weird nickname -- both of which sound bizarre, this one kick-starts with Chinmayee's husky voice as she whispers romantic-nothings, penned by Na Muthukumar, about (presumably) her beloved. Indai Haza's strong voice echoes with the Miss You refrain as Chinmayee branches off into apparently unconnected phrases eulogising love. By the time she segues back into the first line, you sort of get used to it. You wish you were able to make more sense of the lyrics, though -- they're mince-meat, as it is. Still this one stands the best chance of becoming a youthful stand-by.
After all those synthesised blasts and strange languages, Chinnamma ...starts off refreshingly with a folklore-flute music piece, intermingling with a rousing beat. Benny Dayal's voice begins confidently in a rural tune, while Chinmayee, in a different manner from her previous number, takes on a deeper tone. Pa Vijay's lyrics bring out the folk flavour, while the chorus sounds sweeter than the lead singers at times. The flute interlude reminds of the ancient Sivaji-starrer Pazhani's song. In the second half, though, the song is a bit perplexing -- as though the music-director couldn't decide between turning it into a completely folksy song, and leaving traces of trendy modern stuff in.
Following this piece we have Elay. This combined effort of singers Krish and Naresh Iyer starts off with a striking guitar piece that reminds you of the title piece of McKenna's Gold and traces of Rang de Basanti [Images] -- but it loses none of its charm for all that. Na Muthukumar's lyrics are an exercise in a feel-good song about winning the world, in Thirunelveli slang. Violins provide an excellent background; the next few segments only reinforce the Wild West theme even more, as a harmonica adds its snappy tunes to the mix. There's a brief hint of 40's Broadway music that transports you for a few moments into Hollywood's past -- and then it's back to the guitar, snazzy violins and the harmonica. This piece is easily the star of the whole album; it's dance-worthy, magical, and brings a whiff of the Rahman of yore.
Naan Eppodhu sung by Reena Bharadwaj begins softly with a distinct North Indian flavour. Guitars accompany her voice with a serene beat. A little later, the rhythm changes to a softer, conversational piece, after which it segues back to music. Pa Vijay's lyrics seem to suggest a coming-of-age song, where the heroine probably has fallen head over heels in love. It's melodious -- but oft-heard.
Weighing it on your auditory scales, barring the romantic songs, the rest seem to be an interesting mixture of tunes; some strange, some familiar. The final verdict? Vintage Rahman peeps in only once or twice -- still, it's worth listening.
