- The Magic Continues |
|||||||||||||
This year saw just four tamil albums of Rahman. But...as known,Rahman never compromises on quality. All four of these albums were big ones...Alaipayuthey, Kandukondaen Kandukondaen, Rhythm and Thenaali. Needless
to say about a Manirathnam-Rahman combo. Alaipayuthey was just another
such combination, which produced similar results. Endrendrum Punnagai,
Pachchai Niramey and Snehithaney were the first to captivate audience.
Endrendrum Punnagai, with its crazy beats, differed sharply from the
other two, which were ultimate melodies. September Maatham by Rajiv
Menon's second venture - Kandukondaen Kandukondaen soon followed Alaipayuthey.Rahman's
score for Rajiv's Minsara Kanavu won him the national award. This album
had everything right for him to do it again. My personal favourite being
Yenna Solla Pogirai by Shankar Mahadevan, which i would have listened
to atleast a hundred times ! Every bit of this song is enjoyable...good
lyrics, great singing and as expected great music. However Smiyai, a
faster song, was the first Two
big directors...now here comes the third - Vasanth. The film - Rhythm,
a novel effort, had songs about different elements of nature. Rahman's
music for each of them made people feel what they actually are ! Nathiye
Nathiye by UnniMenon, Kaatre En Vaasal by UnniKrishnan and Galagala
-vena Pozhiyum by Sadhna Sargam were the melodious numbers in the album.
Galagala-vena Pozhiyum differing only in the fact that it had more stronger/tougher
kinds of Finally,
to Thenaali ! How better could this get? Rahman working with Universal
Hero KamalHassan and K.S.Ravikumar on a project !! The Terrefic Three
had created enough hype, that in the absence of Vairamuthu, Rahman had
to prove himself to the world that his music was capable of dominating
Vairamuthu's lyrics. Without doubt, he did ! The title song |
