Yuvan has a rocker to offer

The way music directors in the south like A R Rahman, Illayaraja and Yuvan Shankar use singers from the North (most of them who hardly can pronounce South Indian languages clearly) has to be truly lauded.

Who else would imagine Adnan Sami to be singing a Tamil hit. Check out "Oru Kal" Yuvan's offering for the Tamil movie "Siva Manasula Sakthi". Yuvan's version of the same song is not bad either. I wonder if Adnan Sami could have composed a hit as this. In fact it's been quite a while since we heard a hit from him.

"Oru Adangapidari" sung by Shankar Mahadevan is also bound to become popular. So is the reggae influenced "Eppadio Mattikiten" though it could have sounded better had it been a faster number.

"Oru Paarvayil" by Ranjith is a good tiny number.

Meanwhile Harris has a good one in "Nenje Nenje" in the up-coming Suriya-Thamanna movie Ayan.

We love you Harris Jayaraj

It's been a long time since I posted anything on madrasbee and Harris's numbers from the up-coming Surya, Thamanna starrer "Ayan" tempted me to make this post. "Nenje Nenje" with soothing saxophone is the one bound to be more popular. Other songs are catchy but Nenje made a good first impression. Check out the songs here.

Meanwhile though A R Rahman has brought glory to India winning a Golden Globe there is no comparision to the songs and music of the Hindi Ghajini to that what Harris Jayaraj contributed in the Tamil original. The music of "Slumdog Millionnaire" also sucks.

New delightful numbers from A R Rahman and Harris Jayaraj

While A R Rahman does it in Hindi for the film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Harris does it for the next Goutham Menon's Tamil movie "Vaaranam Aayiram"

It is difficult to believe A R Rahman's perfect and befitting sound and music for the campus story. Three songs are extremely pleasant and catchy. They are "Kabhi kabhi Aditi Zindagi" sung by Rashid Ali, "Kahin to Hogi ho" by Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das and "Tu Bole main Booloon" by the little master A R Rahman himself.

As for Harris's songs Music India online has only a part of the song "Ragasiyame" from Vaaranam Aayiram but you can listen to this beautiful song in its full version on the MusicMazaa, one of the many other sites besides Raaga.com and musicindiaonline.com where you can listen to a ton of new and old music.
