Toshiba…
Vocals: Premgi Amaran.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
Smile-worthy lyrics extolling friendship on one hand and suggesting how to woo girls on the other! A jolly ditty is what we have here, with stylish inputs from the trumpet, guitar( quite good) and rhythms.Could catch the fancy of youth.
Adhe Neram Adhe Idam
Mudhal Murai…
Vocals: Haricharan, Harini Tippu.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
A soft, sentimental love duet, leisurely paced and interwoven with cute notes from the guitars( you hear them right through), flute, and veena( plaintive notes).Mellifluous singing from both. Just before the second charanam, Harini’s voice combines so well with the flute in essaying Reethigowla notes. Makes you want to hum along.

Vennilavu…
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas, Saindavi, Dhanvi.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
A strong Arabian touch is seen in the song, especially in the music interludes. The high pitched curving notes from the shehnai, guitars and the violin are proof enough. A passionate number, with not-so-subtlelyrics set to a stylish Sindubairavi scale. In both the charanams, the rhythms are subdued when the male sings, offering a nice variation.

Adhu Oru Kaalam…
Vocals: Haricharan, Premgi Amaran.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
Attractive notes from the Natabairavi raga have been strung together for this song, giving a smooth listening experience. Haricharan sings the sorrow of a jilted lover and Premgi consoles him. The initial notes from the guitar that start at the ‘pa’ swara and go ‘pa dha ni sa ri; ga ri— on to ‘dha’ and then on to ‘pa’ and then to ‘ri’ and down to the base’pa’ are elegantly played. In ‘neeyum naanum’ the notes ‘ni dha ni dha ni pa’ are often repeated. The use of dholak and tabla on and off add variety to the rhythms.
Nammoru Chennaiyila…
Vocals: Venkat Prabhu.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
Some cheeky lyrics, here! A song sung by a disillusioned lover, blasting womenfolk in general. And the shehnai alone stops us from taking it all seriously! And of course the speedy native rhythms. Fun use of the Revati raga too, from what we hear.
Verdict:
There is a conscious effort on the part of Premgi Amaran to give us melody and variety, and he has to be appreciated for this. Nothing strident or dramatic about the album. Quite a lighthearted one! He does have it in him to offer more original melodies, and we are sure he will. Overall, its an album worth a try!

Hollywood calls on India's favourite son

MUMBAI, India — Hollywood is finally getting to know A.R. Rahman, the short, humble and deeply religious man who took two Oscars home to southern India for his work on "Slumdog Millionaire."

In the eight months since Slumdog's surprise Oscar sweep, Rahman has survived the rage of felicitation that hit him when he returned to India -- even the prime minister offered his congratulations -- and embarked on countless lunches with studio executives in L.A. eager to match him with that perfect new film.

In between, he's managed to score two movies, hatched plans with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics to start a band, and is putting together a new solo album.

The Oscars, Rahman said, "got me an identity in the West."

"There won't be any doubts looking at me: Who are you? What are you doing here?" he said by phone from Medina, Saudi Arabia. "I don't have to prove again I can do this and that, and rather can just be cool about my musical statement."

His latest composition is for "Couple's Retreat," a yoga-inflected romantic comedy written, produced by and starring Vince Vaughn, released Friday by Universal Studios.

He spent nearly three months working on "Couple's Retreat," first in London and then in L.A.

"L.A. helped me hide," Rahman said. "I can walk on the streets, which I can't do in India. I can go to a coffee shop and sit there. I have so much freedom, whereas in India I get mobbed."

In India, Rahman enjoys a fanatical pop-star fame that stretches from barefoot slum kids playing cricket to the richest matrons of Mumbai. He has won 18 Filmfare Awards, three MTV Awards, and six Tamil Nadu State Awards, among others. In 2000, he was conferred the highest civilian honour in India, the Padma Shri, for his contributions to the film industry.

But that somehow didn't translate. "Slumdog" did.

Now, Rahman said, he's not just getting work from Hollywood, he's getting good work -- projects for which he can set his own artistic terms.

"Since the Oscars and all the appreciation, people come for what I am," he said.

The new album -- for Interscope Records, which produced the blockbuster soundtrack to "Slumdog" -- is still in its early stages, but Rahman said he hopes to bring together experienced artists like Lady GaGa and M.I.A. with "some really new talents."

"After 'Jai Ho' became number one in 17 countries, they were very excited and said, 'Why don't you do a whole album?"' Rahman said.

He keeps working on his pet project: A classical conservatory he opened two years ago in his hometown of Chennai, in southern India. About 130 students are learning the vanishing arts of the viola, violin and acoustic piano. Rahman said he's also teaching them Indian classical music and electronic composition -- the same motley but fortuitous set of skills that holds together his own career.

The "Couple's Retreat" soundtrack veers from the South Indian Carnatic harmonies of "Undressing" to the hip-hop inflected "NaNa." Shyam Benegal, an award-winning Indian director -- he also got the Padma Shri -- who hired Rahman to make music for two of his films, says Rahman has created "a musical bridge."

"He has bridged the musical distance between the way the Western ear responds and the way the Indian ear responds," he said. "It's very difficult to say how."

The foundations of that bridge were laid when Rahman was a child. After his composer father died, Rahman took up playing the keyboard for movies in south India's burgeoning Tamil-language film industry. He was just 12.

"I had to work because we had the keyboards," he said. "My mother said, 'Why don't you learn them? It's such an advantage for you to have them."'

"I was almost the breadwinner of the family," he added.

After studying under several masters of classical Indian music, he won a scholarship to the Trinity College of Music in London and took a degree in Western classical music. His break in India came when he was 23 and noted director Mani Ratnam asked him to score his film "Roja."

Since then he's worked on over 100 movies in India.

"His fees have gone up a lot," said director Benegal. "He may be the most expensive composer in India today working on films. That he is. But what he gives to you, even in financial terms, the recovery is almost instantaneous."

Still, Hollywood's remunerative embrace could price India's favourite son out of his home market.

"If he charged me Hollywood rates," Benegal said, "I wouldn't be able to pay."
