A R Rahman is back with a bang and this time with 13 songs in his new album Slumdog Millionaire which includes two songs by M.I.A and 1 song from movie Don (new one).
MIA has teamed up with famed Indian producer A.R. Rahman on several tracks for the forthcoming soundtrack to 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
”O Saya” : performed by A R Rahman & M.I.A. is one of the finest tracks in this album. It is the first song of this album and moment you hear it you know A.R Rahman has did it again. Beats in this song are too rocking and you can literally feel the hard work put in it. M.I.A and A.R Rahman’s vocals make it a one of a rocking number.
”Riots” : by A. R Rahman is an instrumental number. The beats and the use of instruments do justice to the title of the song. It sure gives you a sense of Riot and tension related to it.
“Mausam & Escape” : by A R Rahman is a kind of fusion song. A.R Rahman knows how to bring music from two different cultures together and make a masterpiece out of it. The use of Drum in this instrumental number is superb and way music from Sitar and Violin is added to it is amazing. It sure does justice to fusion.
“Paper Planes” : is performed by M.I.A. No it is not a rock number but it would surely make you tap your feet and move your head. In short you would definitely enjoy it. The best thing, which I liked about this song, is sound of four gunshots, then reloading the gun and then the sound of cash register.
“Paper Planes” : DFA REMIX Performed by M.I.A. is the remix version of previous one but is more slower. The use of Saxophone adds peppiness to this song. Though it gets bit slow and monotonous by the end.
”Ringa Ringa” : by A R Rahman featuring Alka Yagnik & Ila Arun would remind you of your old days. How many of you liked the song Choli Ke Peeche? Well, this number is the same except for the fact that lyrics has been changed, Choli ke Peeche has be replaced by Ring Ring Ringa . On top of that Ila Arun sure seems the right choice for this number.
“Liquid Dance” : by A R Rahman featuring Palakkad Sriram & Madhumitha is again a fusion number. The use of violin and notes by Palakkad Sriram and Madhumitha makes this number a classic example of fusion though it has not come closer to the fusion song from movie Morning Raga – “Thaye Yashooda”.
“Latika’s Theme” : by A R Rahman featuring Suzanne is a slow number, The humming song by Suzanne adds a soothing touch to it. Suzanne yes the same who sung ‘Aye Bachchu’ in Ghajini.
“Aaj Ki Raat” : performed by Sonu Nigam, Mahalaxmi Lyer & Alisha Chinoi is the same number from new movie DON. You all are aware of it by now. Song is good and it is sung by three great singers of Bollywood. That says it all about this song.
”Millionaire” : by A R Rahman featuring Madhumitha is okay kind of number. Beats are fast and background sound by Madhumitha adds a human touch to it. Though it does not leave a long lasting impact. More of an Instrumental it is.
“Gangsta Blues” : by A R Rahman featuring BlaaZe & Tanvi Shah is a gangster number by all means. No it is not Nelly or Jay Z. Though it sounds like a gangsta number but it is bit slow.
“Dreams on Fire” : by A R Rahman featuring Suzzanne is a slow, soothing and a very sweet English number. Suzzanne has again proved how good she is in singing. I first heard her in Ghajini’s Aye Bachchu song. She sounds good and the use of flute in this song adds more soothness to it. It would sure make you relax.
“Jai Ho” by A R Rahman featuring Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah & Mahalaxmi Iyer is a fast and patriotic number. Remember Sukhvinder Singh who sung the famous Chak De song; hope Jai Ho gets popular the same way. A.R Rahman who is known for his patriotic song Maa Tujhe Salaam has come up with yet another patriotic song. In the end of the song the use of violin has added a nice touch to it.
So if songs of Ghajini, which are composed by A.R. Rahman, disappointed you all then you should listen to this album. He has back to prove his critics wrong. I personally loved the songs from this album. I would rate it 4 out of 5.
PS : Incase you do not like instrumental, fusion numbers you may not like this album.
